medicine, and when 1 say studied medi-

anu small boy looked at the pictures

We're, and told them how sadly they
looked. Then there was another woman

Dloou-l mean she had nine children un-

HOW could man love a wife who WASN'T
MOTHER And as 1 didn't know. 1 usea
to say, How?
The club got up what they called "A
shampeter,' and small boys sold tickets
Tor It, and we were all very much excited
We dressed dolls and knitted things. and
then, when the night of 1t came I was
100 SICK TO go and could only hang out
the window and look at the Japanese
lanterns. II must have been a wild scene
OF gayety, for they sold SO worth of lem
onade, and two and a quarter of ice
cream; one lady wore a yellow satin gown
and young lady played something from
CHOPIN, and another one sang an aria.
Whatever that may be, and there were
forty-seven children and parents to match
Why didn't we come home? Wen II was
cool and the air was good, and when we
were little more starved than usual
we went into the nearest town and filled
up at the hotel After the Mothers bed
broke down, however, we thought ii was
time to leave, for an inclined plane is
not pleasing couch. But, where are
we going for the summer?
The Mother said we must have clean
table, clean beds and a good cup Of cof-
fee. lola said he wanted fresh air and
good things to eat. The dogs bounded
around and looked hungry, as If to tell
what they wanted, while l said l wanted
house run by man. Then If one made
a reasonable complaint it would be duly
attended to. Decayed ladies are apt to
think that no fault must be found with
them, and that they are doing a kindness
by permitting you to pay them more than
they deserve and be allowed to live.
BY the bye" said lola, do you re-
member the woman who used to listen at
the doors. Wasn't she a walking inter-
rogation point? There was no nonsense
about her. When she wanted to know
anything, she asked. 1t gratified her to
know who your letters were from and
she was also interested in the amount
of your income When she left she went
to be housekeeper for a widower and to
mother his children. The Lord help them!
If she approved of him she would marry
the widower, with his leave or not while
she would train those children after the
plan inaugurated by Mrs. Pipchin
''She was cousin to a blue-blooded grocer
about whom she talked a great deal.
though she was careful to keep the shop
well in the background. I greatly ad-
mired her cleverness. She was one of the
people who know what to leave untold.
On Sunday morning she used to shut her
mouth so that II looked like the steel
clasp of purse, and then she went to the
| Presbyterian church and listened to the
clergyman preach on hell. He thought IL
was a good subject for the summer time.
and in neighborhood mostly given over
to boarding houses. 1t made people realize
that there were worse places.
THE postmaster had nice little ways;
he didn't believe in exciting people by Civ
ing them their man all at once. Cleve-
land put him in and he was a go-as-you-
please man. And he would let your letters
go to you when he pleased. Even If he had
them all in the morning he doled them
out as careful mothers do sticks of candy.
If you bought something in the shop,
something on which he made a large profit.
then you CHANGED getting your mail all It
once; but If you were a stingy person-if.
for instance, you only bought cents
worth of the large, sour drops known as
bulls eyes-then you got you letters in
| homeopathic doses. He was the original
who, when asked for Browning. said he
had bluing and backing. He was a dense
man. So was the ticket agent The rail-
road allowed him SO worth worth of change
and if you offered him a s. note he couldn't
sell you a ticket, and you had to chance
being put off the train il you were brave
enough to get on. The railroad company
being a corporation did not propose to
have any embezzling in it's service
There was one family in the neighbor-
hood that the club and all the good peo-
pie objected to-they had no diseases and
they enjoyed themselves. They weren't
invited to the dances at the Casino. oh.
dear. no. The Casino dances were Sc
lect. The cotillion used to be led by a
young man who was a graduate of Prince
ton, and who had one pair of white duck
trousers. He had an idea that he looked
well in them, and so he used to stay in bed
and read essays on How to Get Married
on a Hundred and Fifty a Year while
they were being washed. He was a great
swell. COn0uenIldlly, L was LOlQ tndt he
knew more figures for cotillion than al
most anybody. was so glad to hear It, I
got quite fearful once when his duck trous-
ers looked quite damp, evidently they had
come home late, that he might get pneu-
monia from them and be blighted. But he
didn't. He was young man with no vices
and just this one pair of white trousers.
And he was such good company. He knew
no end of riddles and he could get up
shadow pictures, while he wouldn't have
touched a card or even known a rule of
that sinful game of poker, not even for a
new pair of white trousers. He was about
the most conscientious young man ever
met"
It is more fascinating than fish stories
this telling of summer adventures. At
least that is what the mother says But
Immediately after that she announced that
there was something cool to drink out in
the dining room, and that she feared that
those were the last of the large straw
berries So we proceeded out without cere-
mony. And the dogs begged for cake and
got it, and we enjoyed ourselves as only
sinners can. But we have got to go to some
place for the summer. But that place will
only be discovered by a careful search
among the registry books for the name Of
Bah.
