ME who were passing week OF nevertO be forgotten
run and merTiment in a spacious old country house
on the beautiful borders of Lake NJ. Mamma mas
had letter TINS morning from Johnnie s. inviting
himself for few days. I glad he is coming, for
ne Is such fun; but he did such outrageous things
when he was here last that the mater declared he
should never DO asked to the house again wish
you could have seen her face when she received his
wheedling, funny letter Just now She had to laugh
In spite Of herself, and finally she said. Well sup
pose he viii have to come, and only hope ne VIII
have learned lesson and will behave himself
must say think 1t rather cheeky to ask for an
Invitation when he must have known the house was
fun. but since he will come, let US give him warm
welcome" And thereupon after much consultation
and suppressed laughter programme was arranged
for the entertainment of the bold who presented
himself uninvited-a programme that might well have
appalled, the expected guest had he known of their in
tentions.
Nothing in the cordial and lady like welcome given
10 him by the young maidens couh have prepared
him for the lively reception he found awaiting him
when he retired to his own room. All NE practical
foxes that could he thought of had been brought TO-
gether for his edfcaton. His bed had been arranged
on the most scientific principles Of making It utterly
impossible 30 sleep in any position without making
1t entirely over; his drinking-water sailed: the
sleeve and neck openings of his rObedenuit were
run together with the sewing machine; a land turtle
was found lying in his bag; and cat sprung out Of
the closet when he opened ths door. But his final
discontinue and utter overthrow had been planned
for the morning. when he 10 find his evening
clothes the only left 10 put for breakfast.
The next morning merry party waited eXpectanty
IN the dining-room for his advent they
kept long IN suspense. short time after breakfast
had been announced and every one else had assembled
the door was flung open, and the most extraordinary
figure that had ever been seen In that stately room
marched in. The appaFtiou which struck them all
dumb was Johnny s arTayed in one OF Mrs. As
most gorgeous dinner g0wps-the lOw-Decked waist
and short sleeves showing his anything but scant pro
portions to the greatest advantage With stately
step he walled into the room, and with perfect
seriousness addressed the company. How fortunate
ladies and gentlemen he said as soon as he could
make himself heard for the shouts Of laughter, that

apartment. Some frivolous persons" he continued
turnng severely TO the gigglng maidens having re
moved my garments, / felt myself fortunate in

Portable and appropriate raiInent." so saying with
great splomb he discussed most excellent break
fast rising 70 supply his needs from the sideboard
amid the continued filters of the company aud to die
utter amazement and hopeless indignation of the
cigna6ed of the dress. II suppose / will find
