The little rocker laughed. Yes, very

The others all asked her please to,

had seen upstairs in Miss Dorry's room,

They all came, of course.
They stayed downstairs for a long

learned, cooking up the molasses and

NX hold is unmarried and the
\" child of millions it sometimes
becomes a problem to know
how she shall spend her existence.
Usefulness in the way of assisting with
household duties is precluded by the
abundance of money at command, and,
since she is unmarried, care only visits
her in connection with herself. Even
such little administrations to ailing
parents as were formerly her privilege
to administer are now attended to by a
resident trained nurse. Indeed, the
household OF a millionaire affords so
little occupation to an unmarried
daughter that she must of necessity
take unto herself a fad.
Sometimes this becomes the develop

music. She may then work in all Sc
riousness, yet the instant she attempts
to overstep the border OF an amateur
she is looked upon with displeasure as
one taking the bread from more hun
CRY mouths. She meets indeed with
abundant encouragement. No matter
how proficient she may become in mu-
sic, professionals are invariably called
