EVENING CHAT
By RUTH CAMERON.

We were all pleased the other morn
ing to see a touring ear stopping in
front of the house next door.
"It is Mrs. LIS cousin" we an
nounced to each other with neighborly
interest. He has come to take her
autoing. Isn't that splendid? It's such
a beautiful day, and she has had no
vacation and needs some recreation so
much. 1t will do her worlds of good :
few minutes later we observed
with neighborly concern that the car
departed without Mrs. L.
In the forenoon, Mrs L., in the
course of a run-in, communicated the
fact to us that 1t had been her cousin,
and that he had come to take her on
an all-day drive.
And why didn't you go?' we in
quired.
'sWeII, I did want to" sighed Mrs. L.,
'but you know I had planned to put up
my grape jelly today. so I really
couldn't"
Couldn't the jelly have waited until
tomorrow" we ventured to ask.
"Oh, yes: 1 suppose Sc said Mrs.
l.; but I'd planned it for today, so
didn't like to put it off,
And yet such opportunities come to
Mrs. L. not more than once or twice
year.
