A PLEASANT FUNCTION
Mrs. A. BartO EntertdinS Friends
In Honor of Mrs. Eva
Carpenter

On Friday, April 8, Mrs. A. Barto
entertained thirty guests in honor
of Mrs. Eva Carsenter. Wild flowers
were used for the decorations, and
each guest chose her own flower,
and thus found her place at a table.
After all were seated, philopenas
were given and considerable merri-
ment was caused by the skill and
adroitness manifested by each to
avoid answering ''yes" or "no" to a
direct question.
A pleasant feature of the afternoon
was the unexpected appearance on
the scene of Major John r. Howard.
He was greatly though very pleasant
ly surprised at meeting Mrs. Carpent-
er. They were old time friends but
had not met for nearly forty years.

Helen Takes Me to Task.

Helen Takes Me to Task.
I paced the breezy terrace at Glen
arm, studying my problems, and STUN
bling into new perplexities at every
turn. My judgment has usually served
me poorly in my own affairs, which
have generally confided to Good Luck,
that most amiable of goddesses; and
I glanced out upon the lake with some
notion, perhaps, of seeing her fairy
sail drifting toward me. But there, to
my vexation, hung the Stiletto, scarce.

There was, felt again, something sin.

pocket-handkerchief of canvas as it
stole lazily before the wind. Did Miss
Pat, In the school beyond the wall, see
and understand, or was the yacht
hanging there as menace or stimulus
to Helen Holbrook, to keep her alert
in her fathers behalf?
There are ladies to see you, SIR
announced the maid, and 1 found
Helen and Sister Margaret waiting in
the library.
The sister, as though by prearrange
ment, went to the farther end of the
room and took up book.
Il wish to see you alone" said Hell
en-, "and I didn't want Aunt Pat ia
know came" and she glanced toward
Sister Margaret, whose brown habit
and nuns bonnet had merged into the
shadows of remote alcove.
The brim of Helen's white-plumet
hat made little dusk about her eyes.
Pink and white became her; she put
aside her parasol and folded her un.

her head went almost imperceptibly ia

"You gave us a shock. Please don't

even now, that you are lady of

singingly through the little vale. They

brooks, and the perplexities of their
affairs multiplied. How to prevent
further injury and heartache and dis

exiled father to the life from which
they had vanished; and how to save
Miss Pat and Helen-these things
possessed my mind and heart. 1 sat
down and faced Rosalind across the
table. She had taken up a bright bit
of ribbon from the work-basket and
was slipping it back and forth through
her fingers.
'"The name Gillespie was mentioned
here last night. Can you tell me just
how he was concerned in your ia
TIERS affairs?" I asked.
"He was the largest creditor of the
Holbrook bank. He lived at Stamford,
where we all used to live"
"This Gillespie had a son. sup
pose he inherits his fathers claims"
She laughed outright.
Il have heard of him. He is a re-
markable character, it seems, who
does ridiculous things. He did as a
child. I remember him very well as
a droll boy at Stamford, who was al
ways in mischief. I had forgotten all
about him until saw an amusing &C.

1--WE will see about that. You are
