ENOUGH TO BE SAD ABOUT.

Last spring I visited a friend Of
mine in Wisconsin. It happened just
about housekeeping time. To receive
company may be a pleasure at any
other time, but the friendship must
be intimate indeed if the guest will be
welcome during the trying period
when everything in the house is top
sy-turvy.
My train brought me to the station
nearly three hours late, and it was
long past the luncheon hour when I
arrived at the depot, both tired and
hungry. There was my friend with
her carriage to meet me- Her greet
ing was friendly, but it seemed to me
that something was lacking in the
warmth of her expression. When we
arrived at the house I thought di-.
vined the reason for the apparent
GOODNESS Of her manner, and made
many apologies for coming at such an
inopportune time; but she assured me
