The other day I spent half hour
in a wOman's own private sitting
room. which seemed to me to be char
acterized by everything such a room
should have. The walls were neutral
tinted. and formed the best of back
grounds for a few well chosen pic
lures. A rug in dim, somber colors
covered the floor. There was large
table, and a bookcase well filed stood
at one side in an alcOve; there was a
divan and there were a few easy
chairs. The outlook was over bay,
where the green waves were ruffIed
by the spring wind, and the ships went
to and fro, sometimes great steamers
passing on their way across the ocean,
into which the bay poured its waters.

Ere some one thundered at the door,
And when he cried "Come in, - in fright,
What curious guests should come in sight,
But Gravy, brown and fat and glad,
And Oyster, looking pale and sad,
Behind them stood full many more,
And Gravy, turning to the door,
Cried: "This is Peter, mean and small,
Who thinks that he eat us all!
Stufing stalked in, dressed in sage green,
And wheezed at him: tfWhat do you meant

But kick your sides until you re ILL.,
"Ho!" Gravy cried, 'tI'd like to see

Then Mnce Pie came and said "Me tool"

Approached the bed with glare and scream,
And Iadle, Fork and Carving Knife
