They took what comfort .they could by
changing their dresses again for supper, but

'But they've come to stay a fortnight, and

The supper bell put an end to the discus

relieved to find that, in spite of the beruffled
pink muslin frocks, the city cousins heartily
enjoyed their supper and appeared fully sen
sb'c of the delight of having raspberres and
cup.cake and hot biscuit all at once.
After supper the photograph albums were
brought out and looked through, and they
had game of Old Maid, after which Mrs
Wlrslow proposed their going to bed, for the
little travellers were tired from their Journey

The next morning Lisbette and Sarah rose
early and had set the breakfast table and
busted the parlor and dining room before
their cousins, came down stairs.
Sarah and bisbettc had on plain, brown
checked gngham dresses and stout leather
shoes.
Sarah had suggested wearing the lilac print
again, but her mother objected.

So Sarah had unwillingly put on the plain
dress, but looked disconso.ately at the sky

shoes and stockings in which the visitors were
arrayed.

The skirts were little too scant ana the
waists did not fit very well, but they did not

They tied dustcaps over their hair; they

For a man who started his literary
career by the writing Of stories dealing
with imaginary worlds, Mr.. Wells has
come around to treat most definitely and
specifically of this sphere and period.
He has been Enthusiastically crystallizing
into publicist rather than a novelist.

commercial aspect of life today, ruth

life. The publication of this work must

ard Remington. having passed through
the ordinary educational process
which produces the customary crop of
young British statesmen, evolves first
into liberal, intensely in earnest and
seeking the betterment of mankind. He
gets into a circle of professionally
altruistic reformers, of the sort that
effect ultra-demOcracy and tremendous
industry in the production of docu-

covers that liberalism is. after all, moth
ing more than a form of partyism, and
he concludes that toryism is nearest
the truth. So he switches. and thereby
grievousiy shocks his wife and friends.
He works UP a new doctrine, the en-
dowment of motherhood, which might
have been inspired by certain express
sions by an American statesman of in
ternational fame.
