said he was in mood for any of Lees jokes. He
looked very severely at me and said that Lee was a
scaawag. and that ought be ashamed of myself
for having him around.
Mrs. Clary will be back tomorrow, and we're
very glad for Uncle is awful peppery and tartary,
and says Hum % when least expect IL. Edna
sent Mr.. ChopstOne petit-bleu, asking him please
not TO ask us TO go anywhere tonight. Mr. Edgar
sent me some Vioets, but had time to give them
to the chambermaid before Uncle in. If
only get a chance shall ask Mrs. Clary TO declare
that NJ. Siblet's mother is his wife, if she
knows it's a lie. It doesn't seem possible that
Uncle could really for Mrs Clary; but he's
cross If she talks to any else that almost
wonder II he doesn't Edna is all tired out, and she
says she will cry if Uncle tells her again that any
man isn't the to make any girl happy. She
says she likes men, and she thinks that they all
make her happy. She wanted to go to the Chatelet
| in baignor, and she wild to so 10 the opera
in anything.
We talk Italy and mark Brittany every chance
we get but Uncle says Hum - TO Italy the saIne

Oh, it has been awful! How can I write it all

back in an automobile by NJ Sibilet and two French

me not to dare 10 fancy for a minute that he cared

Mrs. Clary came in right afterward. She has
had splendid time and she says she doesn't care
what relation the old lady is so long she can
have them for friends. She has had no end of fun
! since she came from Havre, and she says it's a
shame about Uncle. She went to a beautiful lawn
fete at a countesss, and she says I mustn't worry
over Lee and Uncle. She rode horseback. too. and
drove with COACH and she says Edna must
member that Uncle is always peculiar and doesn't
mean half he says. She went two dinner parties
and would believe that she Harry s
mother. She says ought not to be eXasperated
over anything, because nothing in the world can be
so exasperating as having son with a mustache
when you don't look thirty-five and that she doesn't
let that worry her. NJ. Slbilet is going to give a
! dinner for her a the Ritz. and she's going get
a lace dress all IN piece and she. says II was

sweet and comforting and she is such a nice

Mr.. Chopstone sent Edna back petit-ble that
he had the box at the opera, and what should he
do about it, Mrs. Clary says for us to go She
says she'll take of Uncle for she wants to
straighten out her accounts and she just as
we'll straighten him out the time. She
gave a long letter from Lee that he left with
her, and she told Edna 10 go and have nice walk
