We al ways drifted into ~grandma's room
1t was the largest, plcasantest room III 'ne
house, and grandma was so bright ano
CHEEKY we loved to be with her. She sat by
that morning, occasionally putting In ner

subject of straws and bOnnets and leghorus,

agreed, should be 4 hat with rolling brim,
faced with black velvet, and glowing with
scarlet poppies. There was no need OF so
much claIter and consultation, however. for
each, after receiving advice, resolved 10
provide herself with the identical head-gear
she had in mind for thel last month.
After we had somewhat subsidized, grand
ma got up and went to her bureau drawer
Il guess I'll have my bonnet tended to

"Grandma ought to have o new bonnet,
mother" said Louise. "One Of those line
black Ncapolitans, trimmed with black lace,
would be lovely for her."
Aunt Maria took her mothers straw bon
net and turned it about on her hand, IN
speeding it critically, thinking meanwhile
that the girls hats were all to be rather ex-
pcnsive this season, and that it was time to
retrench somewhere. What great differ
ence did it make about an old lady's bonnet
any way, so that it was cOmfOrtable-she
went out 30 little.
sOh, / don't think ! need new one"
grandma said, meekly. THAT would be ex-
~trayagant; but 1 thought q new border
might be put in, and may be a new pair OF
strings"
Il don't see any thing the matter with
the border" said Aunt Maria, in a decided
tone. "The strings can be sponged and
ironed, and they will look as well as ever"
So saying, she handed it back to grand
ma, and turned to give Louise further COM
missions for the city.
Ruth told me afterward that she felt like
saying: 'Give it to me, grandma l will
have 1t all frcshened up for you, and L.!
pay for it myself"
But none of US ever thought of going con
trary to Aunt Maria's DEGREES. She was
the commander-in-chief of both households.

put it back in the drawer. She was no,

her old bonnet strings. Dear grandma,
she had gone where garments are without
spot or wrinkle. How she would enjoy the
white raiment, the purity, the unchanging
freshness Of the Heavenly land!
We all loved grandma dearly; for a time
it seemed as if we could not go on without
her. One day towards evening a longlng
seized me to look once more into grandma's
room; so / went across the street, stole
around to the side door, which opened di-
rectly into her room. II was ajar, and i

But the sound of sObbing reached my

at the further end Of the room Aunt Maria,
standing by the bureau. G~randma's boa
net was in her hand. She turned it about
and looked ut it as If she would torture her
self with the certainty that 1t was indeed
shabby, then she kissed it again and bowed
her head low over it In an agony Of bitter
weeping. And / had thought Aunt Maria

to be able to recall the t~houghtless words,
which for the sake Of a few paltry dollars
denied the dear Old mother almost the last
