but I must tell frankly these things
though they excite apprehension at
what you may consider a baekslding.
1 spoke of this to Mrs. Lacquerre be-
fore 1 wrote it, and she replied: True,
Reuben, your Uncle SiIas may not
agree with your views, but he will not
blame you for holding them. He is
man who is content only when en-
gagged in big and strenuous affairs, yet
he accommodates himself to the small
er things of our social world and makes
himself agreeable therein as well as
the most devoted man of society. When
he visits us he is quite beau to
Frances and me. yet is rushing all over
the lot, carrying deals through the
street, as if he held that the chief task
of man is to give the financial world
the willies. That is why Frances is
so chunamy with him."
sIndeed!'' 1 exclaimed. "Is Frances.
then, so chummy with my Uncle ST.
las ?"
"The best ever" declared Mrs. Lac-
querre. you see that, while Frances
is not yet nineteen, and your Uncle
SiIas is my age, thirty-nine, she is his
elder in soberness of mind and severity
of standards. Oh, they are great pals!
In one way he is your junior. By the
way, Reuben, just how old are your

mented Mrs. Lacquerre thoughtfully.
Then she smiled and abruptly changed
the subject.
Ireminded her that she had promised
to matroniZe an entertainment Tor me
at my apartment, and as l had an ac-
cumulation of social debts to discharge
I urged an early date for the affair.
She named a convenient day and
promised to- fulfill her agreement to
have a number of handsome young Ia
dies present, and fewer mammaS who
would endeavor to carry my heart by
direct assault.
Having acquired some knowledge in
the matter of social entertainment, L
determined to. arrange the programme
for my afternoon at home without CALI
ing on Aunt Sarah for help. had, as
a mere exercise in composition, written
a trif1ing comedy, based upon some
troubles in the Samoan islands, when
the diplomats of Germany, England
and America, assisted by the officers of
some warships of those three countries,
were all deeply involved in an effort to
untangle and adjust the rival claims
to the Samoan throne made by cou-
pie of barefooted natives, whose pos
ings before the world were in them
selves farcical, yet brought three great
nations to the verge of war. Thinking
that such a light comedy as I had writ
ten would afford a suitable vehicle for
an amateur performance, I submitted
it to Mrs Lacquerre for her judgment.
When she had read it she said: This
is pretty good tragedy for the profess
sional stage, Reuben, but for our pur-
pose it must be adapted to make a
satire on the rival claims of certain
women in the brass band set in New.
