New England farmers are proverbial
for their liking for pie. It is a staple
article of food with most of them
they wouldn't know how to keep
house without it. And indeed it is
hard to get along without anything to
which we have all our lives been ae-
customed. An old lady went from
New Hampshire to visit city relations
on whose table pie never appeared.
Her visit had been understood to be
for a month, but at the end of two
weeks she announced her intention Of
returning home on the following day.
"Why, auntie," said her niece, in a
tone of great surprise, 1--WE thought
you had come to spend at least
month, and / can't think of letting
you go SO soon"
II think I must, Matte" replied the
old lady, firmly.
but we haven't taken you to half
the places we want to see, nor done
half we want to do for your pleasure.
Surely you're not tired of us SO soon."
"Oh, no, no., protested the old lady,
Eve enjoyed myself very much,
dear; you have all been SO kind and
thoughtful. I can't thank you enough
for it all.
Then stay longer, auntie. Why
should you 60 so soon9"
With the frankness and simplicity
of many aged persons, the old lady
said:
"Well, Matte, if I must tell you, |
will. I simply can't stay where folks
never have pie, and l don't want any
extra trouble taken to make it on my
account, SO I'd better go home where
we have it common"
She did not 60 home for some weeks,
and pie appeared upon the table at
every meal as long as she remained
