Not illustrated. 1903 Excerpt: ...the hill, Evelyn saw before her a sprightly figure making the descent. There was no mistaking the gait, the red parasol and shoes, the blue sailor suit. Evelyn looked around for a chance to escape; there was none. Besides, Miss Finley's keen eyes had probably discovered her. "How nice," said the journalist, giving Evelyn a gloved finger.
