When Mrs. Langly Moved.

Mrs. Langley put down her
book with a smile OF happy in
inspiration, and turned to her
Aunt Matilda, Knitting at the
window.
"I'm going to move, aunty," she
announced.
"Again!" exclaimed her aunt
dropping her knitting in amaze
ment. why, you've only been
here six weeks" Then, with a
tone OF unconscious self-congratu
lation coming into her voice, she
went on well, my dear, If you
had listened to me, you'd have
been in the old place now, with
out all the fuss and worry that
you and Jack have been through.
and you know how expensive it
was. Although what you can
find to complain of here" her
voice was trailing off into re-
proachful silence when she de-
manded suddenly: "And what's
Jack going to say this time, l
should like to know?"
"Oh, I'm sure he'll love the
idea" answered. her niece. an
fact, Aunt Matilda, he'll be the
first to encourage me when / I'M
fold my plans to his sympathetic
soul"
The mischievous look in her
eyes deepened for a moment at
her aunt's helpless and increasing
bewi|aerment Then growing
serious again, she said, "Listen
to me just a little while, aunty,
and I'll try to expalin."
Picking up Glsslng's New Grub
Street" she read slowly aloud,
"Lik" her multitudinous kind,
Mrs. Yule lived only in the opin-
ions OF other people. What
others would say was her con-
slant preoccupatlon.'
"Now that's what I've been do
ing and thinking all these years,
apparently" Mrs. Langley went
on, land that's why I've de-
termlned to move into my own
mind, and live in it, too. We
really needn't have taken this
apartment,-the old place would
have done perfectly we'll, and
It's been a hard year for Jack as
well as for every one else. But
you see. other peoples judgment
had become my constant pre-
occupation Some woman would
say, "My dear, what a shame
that, with your charming person
atty. you should be such end
less miles from everything! And
another would hint that 'of
course even SO clever a woman as
myself would soon lose touch
with the world outside, ami "a
third would wonder what on
earth did for society," So l just
made Jack come here. although
he didn't want to at all, and 1
knew, too, that we ought not to
be so extravagent. I.ve hated
myself ever since. And now I'm
going to move Into my own
opinions and stay there for
ever.
She bit her lip and stared hard
through the window az the green
park, lovely with spring, out
side. Then she flashed a look OF
her old sunny drollery at her
aunt.
