Morris tribune., 1895-03-20

"YeS, just when you are particularly
interested in some article" supple
mented Dell.
s.But that book of travels has ar
rived" said Rose, land just see the
fine illustrations in it."
'1They are beautiful, that's fact
remarked Beulah, looking at the book
her sister had opened; ~ hadn't not
iced that it had come. Would you like
me to read something from this
! auntie?'
| Eyes, / have heard that the descrip-
tions of places in it are very fine. am
all attention, dear"
$50 am l." said Dell. II have been
| longing to read that book, but, like
Beulah, didn't know it was here. Some
how it takes Rose to notice things"
Eyes, pleasant things" quietly re-
marked Auntie Duryea, with an ex-
preston that the two girls failed to
understand. Rose had gone from the
room moment before.
The dinner-bell rang while Beulah
was reading, and her two listeners OK
pressed their regret that she should be
interrupted even for SO delightful an
occupation az eating.
Show delicious these oysters are!"
Rose remarked during the meal. II
think no one can fry oysters like our
Annie"
''She needs to do something extra
we'll to make mp for these potatoes,
they are so salty" complained Beulah.
''They are not too salty for me-" said
Dell, II like plenty of salt; but l was
thinking that the bread isn't very good
to-day"
''Well, am like Rose" put in Mr..
Marsden; II am enjoying the oysters
too much to notice defect in any
thing else; or perhaps l anu particu-
larly hungry this evening"
just then Dell caught the same ex-
preston on Auntie Duryea's face tina.
she had seen in the afternoon when
they were talking of Rose. I'D like
to know what it MEANS" she thought;
somehow teel that she doesn't ex-
actly approve of Beulah and me-"
The next time Auntie Duryea was
alone with Mrs. Marsden she said:
"Well, sister. have made my choice"
''You have? And it is-?"
"Rose."
Mrs. Marsden looked amazed.
F." 'Rose?'" she repeated, as if she could
scarcely believe that she had heard
Alright.
= Yes, it is Rose; and have discovered
that she has a talent"
do you really mean it?"
81 do, indeed. If Iwere anxious to
engage fine musician l should GER
tainly select Dell. If l wanted q conf
panicn who was to spend considerable
time reading to me, l should choose
Beulah. If needed help in entertain
ing an evening company, should prob
ably want them both. But for travel
ing companion, one who is to go about |
with me from place to place, who is
to associate intimately with me for so
long time, l certainly want the dear |
girl who has talent for looking on the |
bright side, and seeing the pleasant
things of life. She seems to fully |
appreciate the good that she gets,
while the other two lose sight of their
blessings in finding out the things that
Ire wrong. Of course, notwithstand
ng this fault, I have enjoyed the so
,iety of Dell and Beulah, and ] ap-
oreciate the exertions they have made
N my behalf; but for comfortable
companion, give me CHEEKY little Rose"
81 see that you are right" thought
fully replied Mrs. Marsden, land
wonder that hadn't looked at the
natter in that light before. But we
shall miss Roses talent when she is
rome, for she has certainly been COM
ort to us all"
There was no one in the family more
than was Rose herself when
Auntie Duryea invited her to go abroad
or year.
cit is SO kind of you, auntie," she
aid, land I certainly shall enjoy it
'ery much; but it seems strange that
vou should select me. l can't do much
# anything, you know"
eyes, you can; you can enjoy the
,ood things, and forget to complain of
he bad"
. A new light came into Delrs face at
hat moment. She understood it all
low, and knew that Auntie Duryea
vas right.
THAT is Rose, exactly" she cried,
"Yes; and while she's gone" added
Seulah, who also was taking in the
essen, ''we'n have to make an effort
