One day not long ago, she took part in an outing arranged by her employers and met the hero of
the story.
They fell in love "at first sight;" BB they say in the novelettes, and soon they met again...
The other day a motor-car drew up outside the little cottage .at New Malden-one of a terrace of such little cottages-where the lovely cashier lived with her par- ents and their several other chil- dren, and out stepped the young Mr. Sainsbury.

The bride's mother, woman with work-worn hands, retold this story.
Hilda hadn't said a word to me about Mr. Sainsbury before he came to me himself," she said. "You сли guess what I felt; but | I'm a North-country woman, and 1 speak straight out about a thing, and I told him at once how we are situated in life and that Hilda hadn't money. But what could I say when he insisted that it was Hilda he wanted and nothing else in the world?
"I did say that she was very young to marry, but he said to that: "Don't worry about that- I keep her young when we are married," That was very nice, I thought.
"Anyone could see that he idolised her, and she him. So my husband and I at last gave our consent. But my husband would not go to the wedding for, like most men, he hates weddings, and nothing would make him go.
"One of my other girls, Alleon, was a bridesmaid, though, and the wedding, at St. Andrew's, Tot- terlage, in Hertfordshire, went off
beautifully.

She is a jolly sports-loving girl she plays hockey and lawn tennis, and has won many prizes in ath- leties and everybody who worked with her liked her immensely.
There was almost breathless' ex- citement at the shop when she re- vealed her secret, and the whole staff overwhelmed her with con- gratulations. They sent her as a wedding preserit a'tes service.

Who could blame them if the girls left behind in the shop at New Malden now should slip, some- times, into day-dreaming and let their wondering gaze stray through | the plate-glass windows as through magle ensements?
