AND THERE ARE OTHERS"
Of my procliyltlcs. Joined Ms, and with
her came her sister. Mrs. IIilman. a
matronly woman Of 80. TO whom I was
formally presented.
I confess to an admiration Of Mrs.
Hilman as soon as saw her: not that
Mrs uasrom wasn't admirable. hut that
her sister was older and more substan-
tial TO my mind. In fact, Mrs llilman
WAS Of that pleasing rotundity OF per-
son which seems 20 appeal TO nm I'M
romantic man OF so. while Mrs Bas-
comb was rather spirltuollo and re-
minded one more OF angels than Of
good housekoepers, In addition TO her
other attractions. Mrs, Hllman was OF
the laughing, jolly kind OF women, who
seem TO carry surplus Of sunshine
with them for general distribution. and
/ always had a kind OF snenking fond
ness for that kind OF woman,
went 20 bed early. 90 is the custom
I'm tho country. and though | was In
good sleeping trim aud my conscience
was In perfect order somehow | lay
awake thinking what lonesome sort
Of life a Bachelors life was and how
much cozier and pleaaanter woman
could make mans life. even n she
hadn't more than half the chance.
After a long time slept and dreamed
dreams In which there were summer
girls and other disturbing clements.
and when I nwoke In the morning. In
response TO Bascom's knock. ! was ms
old self again and Laughed at the very
idea OF a woman as life companion.
During Sunday | had several vsy
interesting talks with Mrs Hilman, aui
