Wooing Won Winnie, Whose Warmheart edness Wards Walter's Welfare.

* Warm weather, Walter ! Welcome warm weather ! We were wishing whiter would wane, weren't we ?' * We were well wearied with waiting, whispered Walter, weari'y. Wan, white, woe-begone was Walter, wayward, wilful, worn with weakness, waited, waxing weaker, whenever winter's wild, with6>ing winds were wailing. W holly, wi houb waywardness was Winifred, Walter's wise, womanly watcher, who, with winsome, wooing way, was well- beloved. 'Wo won't wail, Walter; while weatbor's wurtn, we'll wander where woodlands wave, won't we ?' Walter's wonted wretchedness whol y waned. * Why, Winnie, we'll walk where we went when we were with Willie : we'll woave wildflower wreaths, watch woodmen working, woodlice, worms wriggluisr, windmills whirling, watermills wheeling : we will win wild whortleberries, witness wheat winnowed.'. Wisbeach woods w,ore wild with wildflowers ; warm westerly winds whispered where willow* were waving ; wood- pigeons, wrens, woodpeckers wore warbling wild vvoodnote?. Where Wisbeach watermiil's waters, which were wholly waveles-s widened, were water-lilies, waxen white. Winifred wove wreaths with woodbine, whitehorn, wallflowers, whilst.- Walter whittled wooden wedges with willow wands. Wholly without warning; wild wet winds woko within Wisbeanh woods whistling where Winifred wandered with .Walter; weeping willows weie wailing ! wei'dly, waging war with wind -topped watots. Winnifred's wary watchfulness waked. * Walter, we won't wait.' 'Which way, Winnie?" Winifred wavered. ' Why, who 1 c were we watidci ing ': Wi&beach woods widen whichever way vvo walk : whore's Wi&beach white wicket ; wheve's Winston's water-mill 7' Wistfully Walter witnesped Winifred's wonder. * ' Winnie, Winnie, we were wrong, wholly wrong, wandering within wild "ways. Way-faring, weafcher-beaten wtiiu*, well-nigh worn-out.' Winifred waited where, within wattled woodwork wall*, waggon -» ? y/heelbarrow3, wains were waiting, weighty with withered wood. Walter, warmly wrapped with Winih-ed's well-worn wadded waterproof, was wailing woefully, wholly wearied. Winnie, who, worn with watching, well j nigh weeping, was wistluily, wakefully, waiting Willies well-known whistlo, wholly wished Walter's well-being warranted. With well-timed wisdom, Walter was wound with wide, white worsted wrappers, which wonderfully well withstood win tor's withering, whistling winds. Wholly without warm wruppeis was Winifred, whn, with womanly wisdom, w s watching Walter's welfare, warding Walter's weakness. • When will Willie wend where we wait? wearily wondeied Walter. • Whist, Walter,' whispered Winnie ; ' who was whooping. •Whereabouts?' Welcome whistling- was waking; Wisbeach woods when winter's windy warfare waxed weaker. ' Winnie ! Walter ! - Win nihvoi's wakefulness was well-grounded. ' We're well, Will'e : we're where Winston's wagtrons wait." Without; waiting, Willie was wi hin Winston's woodwork walls. ' Welcome, welcome, Willie ;' Winnie was weeping witlr weariness with watching Walter, weak with wayfaring. • Why. Winnie ! wi«e, watcMul, warmhearted Winnie,' Willie whispered, wheedlintrly, *we won't weep : Walter'? well ; what were Walter without Winnie?' Wholly wonderful was Winifred's welltimed womanly wisdom, which weli warranted weakly Walter's welfare. Whenever wandering w"ithin Wipheach woods with Winnie, Walter would whisper, * Wh.«t wero Walter without W 7 innie ? wi«e, watchful, warm-hearted Winnie !'-- Old Scrap Book.
