the Dr.. Alnhurst Memorial church"
sAnd do you propose to live at Hav-
ersfock ~
II was thinking Of that
.sWouldn't it be just little dull?'
Eyes, i suppose It would, but it seems
to me suitable place where two young
women may mediate on what they are
going to do with their lives
eyes, that's an important question
for the two. say, Dorothy, let's take
the other side of the river and enter
Vassar college. Then we should at
least have some fun. and there would
be some reasonably well educated peo-
pie to speak to-
"Oh, you wish to use your lately ac-
auired scientific knowledge in order to
pass the examinations. But, you see,
/ have had no tutor to school me in
the mysteries of lime burning and the
mixing Of cement. Now, you have
scorned my side OF the river, and ]
7 have objected to your side of the river.
That is the bad beginning which, let
us hope, makes the good ending, Who
is to arbitrate in our dispute?"
'Why, wen split the difference, OF
course
sHow can we do that? Live in a
houseboat on the river like Frank
stockton's Rudder Granger
NO; settle in the city Of New York,
which is practically an island in the

aWouldn't I! Imagine any one hay
ing the chance living anywhere else!"
I'm a hotel, suppose the Halldorf

sYes; we could live in a hotel until
we found the ideal fat, high up in

that from the top of Mount Washing

.'But you forget made one proviso

New York is just the place from

/ Haverstock will be somewhere near

| We can take trip up there once a
week or oftener, if you like. and see
how the work is progressing. Then
| the people of Haverstock will respect
/ MS. AS we drive from the station
they'll say:
!" There's the two young ladies from
New York who are building the
| church,
@But if we settle down among
them they'll think we're only ordinary
villagers instead Of the distinguished
persons we are. Or. while our fat is
being made ready we could live at
one Of the big hotels In the Catskills
and come down as often as we like on
the inclined railwa ll,:seea until The

"That ought to carry the day for the
Catskills, Kate. What sort Of habita-
ton shall we choose. a big hotel or a
select private boarding house?'
.sOh, a big hotel, of course-the big
gest there is, whatever its name may
be-one of those whose rates are so
high that the proprietor daren't adver-

| support an excellent band and adver-
tise a renowned cuisine. Your room
at least should have private balcony,
on which you can place a telescope
and watch the building of your church
down below. I, being humble per-
son in subordinate position, should
have a balcony also to make up for
those deficiencies
every well, Kate; that's settled. But
although two lone women may set up
housekeeping in New York fat, they
cannot very well go alone to fash

"0h, yes, we can. Best of references
given and required"
Il was going to suggest pursued
Dorothy, not noticing the interruption,
that we invite your father and moth

a change from sea air to mountain
air.
Katherine frowned little and de-
