Grandfather's home.-that dear old place
A house with gables wide
EMPOWERED in trees, great red barn
With haystacks at its side.
A brook spanned by o rustic bridge.
A gloomy, rumbling mill,
And set against . dreamy sky
An orchard on hill!
Oh. every summer I go there,
When school is out. to stay:
Hook for hens nests. drink new milk,
And tumble on TIE hay.
Grandfather is the best OF men-
He lets me start the mill
And oh. the pippins growing IN

She's sprightly, though she's gray;
She feeds the chickens. milks the cows,
And churns, most every day,
Such yellow butter! And her pies
The pastry-cupboard fill;
They're made OF yellow harvests from
The orchard on the hill.

Through fields o: grass and grain.
And fight the thistles by the brook,
The mulleins in the lane.

With rosemary, rue and dill:
Bnt best of all, and most Of all,
The orchard on the hill!
Oh, the berries from the briersi
Oh. the melons green and gold!
We put them in the spring house
To make them good and cold:
Ard from the beehivcs, now and then.
A honey bowel we fill.

At night grandfather tells me tales
OF long and long ago
Grandm other knits and knits and smiles
To see her stocking grow,
While all outdoors it is SO calm,
So dusky aud so still,
And then the moon rolls up behind
The orchard on the hill
At nine o'clock we have our prayer.
And then 1 go TO bed.
Away off in the darkest room,
And cover up NY head,
Most sacred to death, and listen to

MRS. G. W. FIELD, JR. which she had so
long been q conspicuous figure. She
could no longer afford to patronize such
affairs, and as she owed money which
she wished to pay she resolved upon the
millinery business as the most hopeful
means by which to accomplish her pur-
pose.
The financial disaster that overcame
the late Cyrus W. Field reduced all his
immediate family to comparative pow
erty. This little woman saw her young
husbands wealth disappear in day and
knew that she could no longer lead the
gay life of young society matron.
When she realized what the disaster
meant, she set about to see how it could
be remedied. A few months ago her
husband received an appointment in the
government consular service, and it was
then that she conceived the idea which
she has now put into execution of sup.
porting herself and her little girl and
aiding the husband, who finds himself
harassed by debts.
Mrs. Field does not pretend to know
much about millinery as business, but
has great confidence in her ability to
learn. Her shop is in a good location
on Fifth avenue, and in the short time
that has elapsed since it was opened she
has already done enough business to give
her great encouragement. She realizes
that many of her patrons are attracted
by mere curiosity, but says she hopes
they will continue to come just the same,
as she is now business woman and not
a bit sensitive or inclined to question
their motives. The Field family is IA.
nous in American history for great
achievements, but none of its members
has ever done braver thing than this
little brown haired, gray eyed woman
did when she went into trade"

the growth of the order in New York

Mrs. Mink came within two votes of

was presented without any preliminary
canvassing. At the Boston convention
she was elected a member of the Ma
