 Mrs Holton entered her sister Susan's room, and, sinking into the nearest chair. undid her collar. This was preparatory to the rite, sacred in Mill town, of dressing-for the afternoon. Susan, who, notwithstanding the fact that she had just returned from an art school and did not deny being artistic. efused to be called Suzanne, was doing something to her face. with the aid of hand glass and many unbecoming grimaces.
 What are you going to wear this afternoon? inquired Mrs. Holton III an elaborately careless voice.
 "Nothing--that is, I'm going to wash my hair. since there is not place in this metropolis where can have 1t washed for me-"
 But, Susie! Not in the afternoon! There will surely be callers" Just say I'm not at home. and don't bother" and Susan. drawing out her hair pifs and letting her red hair down over her yellow and brown and tan kimono.
 You forget that you are not in New York" said her sister sharply. Do try to forget that you have been to art school and be decent to people. Not | at home wont go here.
