INV wife would like to have you come
over and help her get on quilt this
morning. if you possibly can, AS she l.
going TO have quilting this afternoon,
I said Dir ADKINS, as he stopped at the
( door of MIR. Murrsy's, while he was on
his way to his workshop. "Can you
! GO"
Mrs. Murray hcsltsted for moment,
and thought Of her ironing dinner for
/ her farm help, and last, not least, Of the
baby. Her girl had gone home for two
weeks rest and visit, ana the little wife
was filing the place of mistress and help
/ for "a few days.
Really, Mr. Adams, do not just see
now | can leave home this morning, for
Alice has gone home, and have six men
here To dinner, and no one TO leave John
nv with while am gone, and be would
be no help i'll the work.
IL suppose not well, | must get some
one else, If can. do wish ruy wife
would ever get around to do her work
rs other people d., in some kind Of sea-
som aud he turned and walked away
whi,,ling minor tine in sad voice.
Mis-. Murray was busy, energetic
woman, who always kept up with her
work. and at nine o'clock her house was
set to rights, Johnny taking his morning
nap. anithe snowy white clothes were
RAPIDLY travelling from the clothes bas-
ket across the ironing table, where they
were neatly smoothed aud folded,
and hung up on the frames, which were
suspended by hooks in tie pIastering
overhead. Two.thirds of the weeks
washing was hanging there to air, when
Mrs. Adams herself entered the kitchen.
Hardly waiting to say good morning she
exclaimed:
There, YOU are usiI z your quilting
/ frames, SO cannot have them. One OF
mine il. sawed in two, and Mr.. Adams
has hung up his pop corn on two OF the
Others, in the granary. So that ! nave
not got frame to put my quilt on.
Il am sorry. Iii were only day
later IN the week, my frames would nc
at your service the rest OF the week.
Il shall want them as much rs three
or four weeks, for | have pile of quilts
and comfortables to make. Suppose YOU
/ drv your clothes on chairs, for this once,
and let me have them to-day. ] don
believe their is another set IN the vii
lag"
/ II have an old set in The lumber room
that You can take Mrs. Adams, but real
" | do not SEQ how | can spare these; l
use them every week
81 suppose | shall have to make them
do if YOU won't let me have the new
ones, but | want these, for they are all
fitted with holes and pins Just right
Mrs. Murray remembered quite dis
tinc,lv when Mrs. Adams had new ones
| lust like hers, but she made no reply and
kept on ironing, while she rocked the
cradle with her foot.
~ will take the Old frames if you will
get them for me
81 cannot leave the baby. but you can
step up and get them down. | should
think they would be too heavy for you to
carry
Are YOU not going to help me to get
nv quilts in | thought we could carry
thsm together; II is not far
i told MIR. Adams that could not;
for Alice is gone, and have extra help
to dinner to-day; | should like to obIlge
YOU
"Whatryer am to do? | never got
Quilt IN the frames in my life, and |
have rot got my cooking done for tea.
81 shall be obliged to start my dinner
Immediately. You can have the frames,
but would send somebody for them.
Mrs Adams looked cross, and very
prohsbly tcit cross. for she had always
dopcnicd on Mrs. Nurrayo helping
hand whenever she had any extra jobs
on hand, and she saw that her prop
would be wanting TINS time.
/ II am a good mind to give up quitting
this week. When Is lice coming back
| don't see what she Went of for!
she Will be gone two weeks as soon
as ,hc come, back am going to Lynn
On visit for three or four weeks.
"Wbcn will You get your fall sewing
done I'd like to know
"Iti> already done; frished that last
week,
"You have never got those quilts all
made, hope"
Certainly l have; We quilted them
when We had long days to work in; we
had them all completed more than a
month a.o
"Wcll. should like to know when
YOU found time; have not got one stitch
Of sewing done for winter, and never
Shall if YOU are going of TO be gone; you
nave always helped me.
Mr.. Murray said | had been such u
good .rrl that | should have good long
holiday this year. | have not hired any
work done; Alice and have done 1t
alone.
"Mr. Adams thought had better get
my sewing done for the beds before !
went away, but | went TO Malone when
l could, and now have got to work tor
dear life to pay tor it.
She took her loaYc, grumh!ing about
her hard lot, and the trials she had to
endure; but little Mrs. Murray thought
that it was about as hard trial "a she
had to have such thriftless, negligent
woman as Mrs. Adams for her next door
neighbor; and she gave her husband a
cheerful smile Of welcome when he came
into his pleasant heme for dinner, and
told him of Mrs. Adams troubles.
"ConfOund that woman, Matte |
meant to arrange matters 50 you should
