A Decoration Day Story
BY ALMA j. NOBLE

Good morning, Aunt Ruth. Yo,
see l am on hand bright and early fol

beautiful day." said Antoinette, cheer

gion of the bright May morning.

With that they started for the gar
den.
Everybody knew Aunt Ruth. and
none knew her but to love her. She
was one Of those elderly women -
shall we say, rare?-who had pre-
served a sweet, happy nature, free
from disagreeable habits, both of
speech and manner. Although over
60 years old, she still possessed that
blessed faculty of adaptability which
made her coveted companion of
both young and old. Children were
attracted by her cookie j,r and fund
of delightful stories, while those Of
maturer years were charmed with her
personality and her entertaining con-
versation, which ever sparkled with
subtle humor, despite an unmistakable
urdercurrent of sadness, which at
times betrayed itself in her face.
Antoinette Rathbun was particular
~ fond of Aunt Ruth, and many happy
hours they spent together, reading or
discussing the various questions of the
day
Antoinette was just now in a most
beatiflc state of mind. That which
makes the world go round had
touched her life and impaired to it
fresh enthusiasm and delight, and this
Decoration day morning she seemed
unusually happy.

"there is no season of the year quite
