appointed. 1t only looked like I was getting ready
for sweeping day, 50 | crept back to bed, with my
mind about made up to go and see my niece Cynthy.
It's real strange how an idea like that takes hold OF
you. once you give in to it. Every book and paper |
picked up seemed to be filled with advice on the sub
ject that was worrying me; but none OF it seemed to
fit my case exactly. l did think some OF packing the
old mahogany set, that had been in the spare room 50
long. in the attic. and then | could set to work and
make me "a dainty. draped dressing-table. and an
h~our-glass stand covered in the same airy fabric but
| concluded that, as | had Just about made up my
mind, I'd go on an see Cynthy. Id wait and talk it
over with her. and maybe buy the airy fabric" there.
| had some nicely starched lace Nottingham lacel
curtains in the paror. There are three windows. and
| had only two pairs OF curtains, so put one at each
window. and laid the other away to make a bed-spread
of some day. like l read about.
But 10 and behold One evening | opened my mag
azinc, and there the first thing Helpful Hints" said
was anything is better than Nottingham-lace cur
tains, in fact windows quite undrapcd would be much
less hurtful to the beauty of a room"
Well, | had thought If anything in the house was
right those curtains were, so | was. to say the truth,
clean discouraged. I'd see Joshua looking at me out
of the tail Of his eye. when he'd come in and catch me
with a yardstick and a notebook; but he didn't say
anything, and neither did but Joshua is a powerful
observing man. The night before | left for the city |
came into the sittin room. and it struck me | hadn't
planned as much about that room as | ought; but
there would be so much to do to it | Just guessed I'd
finish the parlor and spare room first. The walls in

one. filled then with green hemlock boughs.
Joshua sat by the table smoking. and as the light
from the tall, green, glass lamp fell on his white head
and pink face he looked 50 comfortable | kind of hated
Just for the minute-to think of altering it all. for |
knew he liked it so; but men. | thought, don't know
anything at all about Identifying ones surroundings. "
The clock licked loudly on the high mantel shelf.
and the brass candlesticks and pieces of old china that
were by it had been put there by Joshuas fathers
father. The black maple high boy and the secretary
in the corner with the glass knobs had been his too.
There was a big hairclOth divan on one side OF the
room, where Joshua loved to stretch out when he was
tired. | was put about when | thought how he'd hate
to give that up; but | concluded not to cross the stile
till | came to it. for had determined to fix the other
rooms trst-tho' as | looked at the green print cur
tains with little yellow stars on them. and saw how all
the brightness had gone from them. | thought Id
stretch a point and get some new curtains anyway.
On the floor. which was dark with age Cor it was
well scrubbed, | can tell you were homemade rugs

and a big bear skin in front of the fireplace. I'd try
and get a new lamp too. | thought. 50 | put it down
on my list.
That list of mine when l started next dav was
half a yard long. and Included the measurements
of about everything in the house. and | had a nice
little roll of bills pinned in the front of my gown
it was my turkey money I'd been saving for several
years.
The very day l arrived at Cynthy's house l told her
of my plans. We sat and talked in what she called
her morning-room. 1t had pink-striped curtains at
the windows. and the wicker chairs were painted with
a slick white paint and had cushions in them of white
stuff with pink roses on it. The rugs on the floor had
ali the colors OF Joseph's coat III them; but they were
all run together-you couldn't tell where one began
and the other ended.
When / stopped to take breath Cynthy spoke in her
pretty. soft voice: Aunt Amanda, dear she said.
must you change the dear old house? 1t seems so
perfect as it is-it and YOU and Uncle Joshua.'
Well. l hadn't thought any of trying to change

Cynthy looked surprised she seemed to sense my

NEVER thought much about fixing up any of the
house, except the best room, till last summer.
when l commenced to take The Ladies Own" "
and read the page called Helpful Hints" Well, from
that on it seemed to me everything that I'd pick up to
read would have something about color schemes
and harmonious furnishing, and so on, so | began to
get kind of out, even with the parlor; altho' of course
| tried to do the best | could for it. and kept it we'll
shut up, and the ornaments and chairs straight. and
the tides pinned on.
| always pridcd myself on having the clcanest house
in Berkeley Corners; but somehow now that didn't
seem enough. so | concluded | would Just set to and
find out what seemed to be the trouble with my EN-
v~ironments, as the papers called them.
One day l said to Joshua that l just naturally
loved a pretty home.
Well, - he said. haven't you got one?"
l didn't like to tell him l didn't think it was Just
light till l knew what to do to fix it. Its been a happy
one to us, Joshua" | says. and he let it go at that.
That was before | went to the city last fall; but the
more l read in the magazine and Sunday papers about
1.-THE colors must be soft - and the furniture all of one
period" the more mixed up l felt. The old sittin'-
room seemed hopeless. | felt l wouldn't know where
to start in on that; but the parlor. | felt, needed only
some few changes and 'twould be all right.
One night | got to thinking so hard | couldn't sleep,
so | got up and lit the lamp and went to take another
look at the best room. Itwasn'ta as if | didn't know it
off by heart, having bought piece by piece everything
in it; but somehow when | looked at it after getting
all these new ideas in my head it looked different and
strange to me.
When l bought the hoco1ate-colored wallpaper
with the red-and-butt pattern on 1t, thought 1t right
handsome, and that it would wear well and not show
the dirt. 1t had a border with fine, big scrolls on it,
and some six years ago | had a picturc-rail put up and
painted gray, like the rest of the woodwork in the
room. That was after we got crayon portraits made
of me and Joshua. | never had a notion of having a
big picture till the man came round one day and Just
insisted | sh'd lend him the tintypes of us both. He
came back after a little with big pictures in his wagon.
They had deep walnut frames and gilded corners, and
he said they'd cost us only nine dollars and ninety
eight cents each, including the frame" he said.
Joshua said he didn't think we 'prcttied" much in
them, and that | was looking some scared: but |
thought 'twould be nice to have them on the wall OF
the best room-so that was why we had a picture-rail.
But anyway, that night when | stole in like a thief
q was so afraid Joshua would hear mcD nothing
looked right, not even the crayons. | pulled the
chairs around a bit and set the comfortable crooked.
