INTENSELY UTTER.

A few months ago the daughter Of a
Rockland man, who had grown comfort
ably well off in the small grocery line,
was sent away 10 "fenale college," and
last week she arrived home on vacation.
The old man WIS at the station when the
train arrived, with the old horse and the
delivery wagon to convey his daughter
and her trunk to the house. When the
train had stopped, bevitching array OF
dry goods and wide btlm hat dashed
from the car and flung itself into the
elderly party's arms.
why you superlatively pal' she ex-
claimed. "T'm ever SO utterly glad to
see you.
The old man was somewhat unnerved
by the greeting, but he recognized the
seal-skin cloak in his grip as the identi-
cal piece of property he had paid for with
the bay mare, and he sort of squat it up
in his arms, and planted kiss where it
would do the most good with report
that sounded above the noise Of the depot,
In a brief space of time the trunk and
its attendant baggage were loaded into
the wagon, which wes soon humping over
the bubbles toward home.
"Pa, dear said the young miss sur
veying the team with critical eye, "do
you not consider this quite excessively
beyond2"
"Hey1" returned the old man with q
puzzled air; 'quite excessively beyond
what2 Beyond Warren 1 consider it
somewhat ten miles beyond Warren,
counting from She Bath woy, if that's
what you mean"
"oh, no, pei you don't understand
me" the daughter explained; II mean
this wagon and horse. Do you think
they are soulful9-do you think they
could be studied apart in the light of
symphony. or even simple poem, and
appear as intensely utter to one ON re-
turning home as one could expres,H"
The old man twisted uneasily in his
seat, and uttered something about he be-
lieved it used to be used for an express
before he got it to deliver pork in, but
the conversation seemed to be travelling
in such lonesome direction that he
fetched the horse resoupding crack on
the rotunda, and the severe jolting over
the frozen ground prevented further re-
marks.
"Oh, there's that lovely and consufl-
mate NAL" screamed the returned collegi-
atess, as they drew up At the door, and
presently she was lost in the embrace of
a motherly woman in spectacles.
"Well, Maria" said the old man at the
tea table, as he nipped piece of butter
off the lump with bis own knife, can how
do you like your schol II"
"Well, there pa, now yeu're shou-I
mean l consider it far too beyond, re-
piled the daughter. 1t is uuquenchab-
ly inaffectirg-I mean grand so exquis-
lite so intense. Aud then the parties,
the ba l., The rides-oh. the pact weeks
have been one of sublime harmony
Il spose SOL s'pose so," nervously
assented the old man, as hs reached for
his third cup. "Half full. But how
about your books-reauin', vriiin', gram.
mar, rule O. tbree-how about them?'
"Pa, don'tl' exclaimed the daughter,
reproachfullyl "The rule of three? Gram
mah? 1t is French and music and paint
ing and the divine in art that have made
my school life the boss-I m mean that have
rendered it one unbroken flow of ryth-
mic bliss-incomparably and exquisite
all but" ,.
The gorcery man and his wife looked
helplessly at each other across the table.
"How do you like the biscuits Maria?"
"They are too utter for anything"
gushed the accomplished young lady,
sand this plum preserve is simply poem
in ITSELF"
The old man rose abruptly from the
table, and went out of the room, rubbing
his head in a dazed and benumbed man
Der, and the mass convention was dis
solved. That night he and his wife sat
alone by the stoye until late hour, and
at the breakfast table them morning
he raped smartly on his plate
with the handle of his knife, and said;
"Mnria- me an your mother have been
talkin' the thing over, and we've come to
the conclusion that this boarding school
business is utterally all but too much
ronsense. Me an her consider that we
haven't lived sixty odd consummate years
for the purpose Of raisin' curiosity, an
there's going to be stop put to this un'
quenchable foolisbness. Now, after you
have finished eatin' that poem of fried
sausage and that symphony of twisted
doughnut you take an dust up stairs in
less'n two seconds and peel off that utter
ally fancy gown and put on an exquisite
caliker, an then come down an hell
your mother wash those divine and ire
proachably dishes. / want it distinctly
understood that there nin't goin' to bt
any more rythmic foolishness in thi,
house so long rs your superlative pa an
your lovely and consummate mas rup
ming this Incompatible and excessively
beyond ranch. Dye hear me, MariAf'
Maria was listening.
THIS IS A SOCIETY ITEM.
