that Phoebe was not there to cheer
and soothe him, being with his two
daughters, on series of visits to
friends in various towns at the east;
among them West Newton.
There he determined to spend the
winter, pending negotiations for the
purchase of home in Concord.
Therefore, on the 21st of November,
1851, the family, with their trunks,
got into a large farmers wagon and
were driven to Pittsfield, leaving the
little red house empty behind them.
It was a bleak day, but one of the
party remembers that the five cats,
which for five months had been fel'
low inmates with themselves, vacated
the premises in body and scampered
after the wagon for quarter of a
mile. Here, on the ridge of a hill
they gave up the chase, and, a storm
coming on soon after, the kind-heart
ed family had much tender solicitude
as to their fate.
The party reached West Newton in
the evening, and there Hawthorne
passed the winter in writing 1.-THE
Blythedale Romance" His son, by
way of compliment to the place, writes
thus: "A more dismal and unlovely
little suburb than West Newton was
in the winter of 1852. could not ex

handkerchiefs have taken a new twist
this season. Instead of brilliant ban.

The center of the handkerchief

in pale Persian colors or Dresden eff.
fects, with the color of the center pre-,

the style lies in the fact that the
