A Memorial Day Story
By OLIVIA BARTON STRoHM

N bench on her back porch
AIA sat Mrs. White-very stiff,
kMIN very uncompromising. The
VSEB morning glory vines,
wv blown by the wind, played
in checkered light and
shade over the porch; over her tense,
upright figure, topped with its crown
Of silver hair; over the sunburnt face
OF young man who stood near twirl-
ing his hat.
The May sunbeams stole as far as
the door where, just within the screen,
girl was seated, cracking nuts.
There was a vacant rocking chair
on the porch; suddenly It began to
move In the wind, and reminded Mrs.
White Of her manners which, in the
excitement Of the interview. she had
forgotten.
Take a chair, Henry"
But the young man, in no mood for
a truce. ignored the invitation. Then
you won't let me have Eleanor" he
said.
She answered him as bluntly: mo,
Henry; you're good boy and all that,
but you're not my choice"
He shrugged his shoulders. Whose
choice. did you say?"
At the sound of his voice the crack
ing of nuts in the kitchen ceased.
Mrs. White took up her shawl and
ran her fingers through the fringe.
Don't be sarcastic, Henry. mean
what say-my choice. Eleanor has
given me her word of honor that she
will not marry without my consent"
From within the witchen door there
came a sharp sound of a pan falling.
II made the youth start nervously; the
grandmother laughed: THAT is what
the men all say. They never seem
to realize that the girl who has
sense OF duty toward an old woman
is best worth winning"
Henry walked slowly to the porch
steps, then turned. you see, it's Just
this way, Mrs. White; It isn't ques-
ton Of whether Eleanor's worth win
ming, or loves me, or anything else.
All I know is, that love her, and
am too crazy to think OF anybody or
anything but her. I suppose I ought
to say I'd quit, but" he went to the
other end of the porch from whence
he could get view Of the girl seated
within-the girl whose eyes met his.
But can't promise you; good-by."
And although he addressed Mrs.
White. he looked beyond her through
the doorway. backing slowly to the
steps. Then he turned and walked
of down the garden path, attended by
a sentinel row of sunflowers.
Eleanor went on with her work. Her
grandmother pulled at the fringe a
few moments, then she went to the
door. you heard what Henry said?"
she asked
Eleanor nodded. The silence, and a
tell-tale redness in her cheeks and
eyes, spoke volumes.
Have you got enough nuts for the
cake filling?" the old lady said after
q pause.
"Yes'm, they're all DONE" and
Eleanor, gathering up her apron full
OF shells In one hand, and the dish
In the other, rose and went into the
pantry. glad to escape conversation.
Her grandmother returned to the
porch. The chair rocked in the wind,
but she needed not its invitation, ia,

OF DRESS.

In a recent book on "The Evolu-
ton of Dress" Mr.. w. M. Webb
shows that many details of modern
dress, generally regarded as prod
ucts of caprice or accident, or of the
invention of tailors and milliners,
are traceable to primitive forms, and
that fashion in costume is the result
of a process of evolution in which
early ideas continually crop out. The
earliest form of dress seems to have
been the shawl, or wrapper. and
fringes date back to the first loom.
The hatband is traced to the original
fastening of the first cloth head
dress. Puttees are as old as Mycenae.
A mystery yet unexplained is the
sewing of the buttons on the right
hand side of a mans coat and the
left-hand side of a woman's.-

TRUE SON OF NEW ENGLAND
Skipper Pinned His Faith to the Cod
Under All Circumstances and

Kate Field once visited the Isles
of Shoals, and went fishing with an
New England skipper. During the
voyage she interviewed the old salt
on the fish question, with the follow
ing result:
Said I to the skipper!
"What do you consider the best
fish for boiling?7
Skipper-Boiling? Why cod, TO-
be-sure.
And what is best for baking?
Skipper-You couldn't have no
better fish nor cod for baking.
How is it with broiling?
Skipper-I never tasted no better
fish, for broiling than cod.
What is your opinion about
frying?
Frying repeated the skipper,
scratching his head; why, what
would you fry but cod?"
What fish is best for general
purposes?
Skipper-General purposes! Cod
