There is a woman belonging to the

away in the summer, gives her coach
man a list of the people whom he is TO
take to drive in the park. There are no
stylish people in the list. Every day he
takes for drive some old ladies, or,
perhaps, some lame girl or little dress
maker and her mother. This grand
carriage drives into very unpreteptious
neighborEoods.
There is a literary worker in New
York who takes her dear old mother to
the country every summer and, instead
OF closing up the coy fiat she leaves
behind her. she hunts up a poor little
sewing woman who lives In a hall bed

that pours into the coy home.
