The girl in the scarlet shirt waist had
taken a vacation. At least, she supposed
she had, butft it were left to her feelings,
instead OF the calendar, she had been hard
at work all the time.
She had taken her leave just at this
time, in order that she might give proper
attention to some visiting friends, and
they had gone home almost as tired as
she was to their work, and she had re-
turned, more tired than they were, to hers.
The visitors and the visitee would both
have to economic closely for the next
two months. The departing ones had de-
clared, with rings around their eyes and
worried lines in their foreheadS, that
they had had a perfectly lovely time,
Mabel. dear; and Mabel, half unconsciously
reproducing their eX Expression, had begged
them TO come again. And all three Of
these people needed to ask pardon OF the
Recording Angel when they said their
prayers that night.
Why should this sad situation have eX-
listed at all? Washington is a breautiful
place, and an interesting place, and the
people in question were agreeable and
good. according TO their lights, which is
all that the best of us can be. The trouble
was simply that they had no idea of econo-
MIXING strength.
The visitors had an insane desire to he
thorough in their sight seeing, and Mabel
being a conscientious girl, felt that she
must help them get the worth of their
money SO they started out each morning,
after hurried hreakfastto do othecity. They
walked hundreds of miles and saw thous-
ands OF curiosities. which had no earthly
interest for them, and which they hadn' {
time to look up in their guide book. They
dismissedthe Museum with one days work
and devoted the next to the crush at The
Cabinet receptions. They wore their
carefully preserved black silk gowns
and came home cross, tired, hungry, and
dusty, with rents in those gowns. They
moved heaven and earth to get a sight of
all the people, however Indifferent to
their existence, who might possibly figure
IL history They went through every de-
partnlent to its uttermost corner and
asked questions OF every polite but weary
department official who was there to
answer them. They seer eted bits of
grass and leaves as souvenirs, where grass
and leaves were held sacred, and suffered
much wear and tear of mind. and let us
hope of conscience, in smuggling them
past the guards.
They were consumed with anxiety to
keep together not that they did not
know the way home or were afraid of get
ting lost, but because they felt sociable;
and the consequence of that was that one
would wait for the others in the rotunda
of the Museum, for instance, and then get
tired and start off somewhere else, coming
