Though Jennie did not become a model of neatness and punctuality, she did much in the way of improvement, and learned to subdue her temper, though tried severely.
Lillie, too, and Frank found there was another ruler than their own will, and made a good beginning in the straight, narrow way, before Miss Lane departed, her dear face looking fairer and brighter than ever to her ardent admirers, the young Grahams.
THE END.
