Wretched hybO0k! why uoH you
keep your scissors in another place
All, Greta! the top of the morning to
you. Breakfast ready! I'm as hungry
as a hunter, though Jack has been
whistling, and as everybody knows
who has suffered from its infection,
Jacks whistling is enough to take
anybody's appetite away. Did you ever
notice, Greta. that whenever a man
feels particularly comfortable, he a.
ways sings Or whistles The Vaga-
bond?' "
DO come down. l wish you two
wouldn't be $3.50 wild. That's the
third pane of glass this week, and it
makes papa so angry!"
"Greta, | am compelled to contra.
dict you; papa is never angry. No
man, however given to Wanting, can
say that he has ever seen the Rev
erend Reginald Latimer angry
Grieyed-deeply grieved; dignified-
awfully dignified, he can be, and of.
ten is; but angry-no!"
We'll, come down the bacon is get
ting cold"
rs it? Then III come down at
once; pig should be eaten warm
But notwithstanding, she stops to
throw an empty matchbox at Jack be-
fore she turns from the window and
runs, or rather leaps, down the few
broad stairs.
Il wish that it were possible for you
to perform your morning toilet with
out quite so much noise, Lorrie. What
with your singing at the top of your
voice upstairs, and Jacks whistling
below in the garden, one begins the
day in a kind of whirl. l am aware
that | should be accustomed to the
he hesitates-" hullabaloo; but my
nerves are not of the strongest. and at
my time of life one is not DESTROYS of
beginning the day, TOTO put it po-
litely-loud music!"
"At your time of life? Why, pupsie,
regard you as a young man! And as
to my singing, | must sing in the
morning or die! You pay your money
and you take your choice. AS to Jack.
| admit that his whistling is too in
tolerable. Somebody ought to sew his
mouth UP till twelve o'clock. Any let
tiers, Greta?"
Eyes, there are two letters for ia.
Their, and one for me, Lorrie."
Greta picked up her letter, adj
dressed in an unknown handwriting
and hastily tore open the envelope. 1t
proved to be an invitation to the fam.
lily from Lady Diana Melford request
ing them to dine at the Pines. She
/ also mentioned that Lord Kendale
had been asked.
When Greta finished reading the
missive her father said:
well, we shall be glad to accept
the invitation"
tYou and Greta shall go, father
but l shall not Guy Melford is a
bore, always fiattering me and paying
other endless compliments. No, thank
you! Better dinner of herbs than a
stalled OK of the Melford's in such
| company.
But you forget Lork Kendale!
| says Greta.
'Oh, no, l don't, but his probable
presence only makes it worse. had
quite enough of him yesterday. No
Greta, I'd rather stay at home. You
shall go. You'll look very pretty in
/ that lilac grenadine and be credit
to the family. And I'll stay at home
| -and-practice my songs, l can
howl so much better when l am alone
and know that no one is suffering
AS to attempt to persuade Lorrie
when her mind is made up is like en-.
/ deavoring to move Plymouth rock
| Greta says no more.
The lilac grenadine, which has done
duty SO many times, is got out, and
Lorrie herself brightens it up with
new ribbons and fresh lace.
AS you will represent the female
