girl, I'VE had a small house party, and
among the guests was charming literary
girl-a great nature-lover, also wise and
bookish to wonderful degree. My chum,
Bertha, and 1 rather dreaded the addition
of this literary element of little group;
we somewhat feared her intellectual tone
would be, as men say, too high up in the
rack for the rest of us.
Everything was lovely, however, and all,
as Henry James would say, was of per-
| fection.' Nature did her share; the sunset
was gorgeous, the starry night was perfect
and the dawn was exquisite. All our lovely
trees were much admired, and the different
country outlooks from the piazzas and from
every window were duly discerned and ap-
preciated. The literary girl seemed to enjoy
the little rural event with delightful natural
simplicity OF pleasure, and we, in turn, en-
| joyed her immensely. We gave our guests
a tray supper the last evening, out on the
lawn, with cold chicken, coffee good bread
and butter, olives, lemon jelly and good
country cream; also a boastful array of our
delicious homemade marmalade, orange and
| pineapple.
After the affair was we, of course,
anticipated interesting notes from our
guests-roofers. in the slang social phrase;

literary girls letter; it would be choice, we
knew, letter to keep; poetic comment on
our charming views, fine phrases about our
lovely rural surroundings" Here the bach
elor girl stopped.

write? Go on

never said word about the scenery; she
