She Felt
 Unworthy

"I don't suppose you are hungry, but We saved some supper for you, dear" said James mother to Jane as that young person slowly approached, dragging her white lace parasol across the stump-infested lawn Of lanes family's summer cottage.
 Jane sank with emphasis into a cane rocker and gazed moodily into an unusually fine sunset.
 Thanks. I'm not hungry" she said, briefly.
 lanes brother. who was tastefuily attired in soiled white trousers and track shirt. reared the upper half Of his body from the cool grass and resafled her critically
 You look seeay. sis he remarked. What did they do to you at the Hon. Mrs. Bggs' deckle edged and hand tooled party2"
 Dol" cried his sister. turning pink. 'They didn't 60 q thing but make me feel that I ought to blush for my temerity in presuming to exist, lot alone my unpardonable pretensions to social standing in the community. It's a good thing Mrs. Biggs' superior eye has never fallen upon your present costume, Jim, or the Biggses might invite us to leave the colony"
 The youth addressed kicked off a tennis shoe delightedly and crowed in derision of Mrs Biggs.
 My dear Jane'' protested their mother. James. don't be rude"
 "The first thing heard when I got to the party. proceeded Jane. was Mrs. King bemoaaing the fact that the like is so dirty She said that she just shuddered every time she went in. and the very moment she got out she always ran for the bathtub and turn ed on the hot water, And yet I had almost broken my neck to take my dip in that same lake at 1:30. so as to be all nice and fresh for the party"
 Swat the fly: he is a deadly perili" quoted Jane's brother. paving the turf in eestass How does 1t feel to be in the insanitary class, sis?'
 Well, of course. that set me right at once as to the kind of people who were there. pursued Jane. and when I looked carefully over those present I was sorry hadn't brought along our storage warehouse receipt just to intimate to all assembled near that this dress I'm wearing isn't the only one have in the world She paused Then she went on. pensively. one Of the simplest costumes al the party was heliotrope satin, appliqued in real lace and yelled in black mar. quiette-sort of a tight effect"
 You've got it,n declared Jane's brother, delightedly T saw that woman yesterday trying to climb on the board walk in front of the inn and flying signals Of distress"
 "Then the conversation turned on servants" said Jane Mrs King simply couldn't find a laundress that she could trust with her little things. and Mrs. Biggs had really hesitated about taking the cottage this year
 
 her French embroidery was in at the end of last season Then they com. pared notes as 10 how many pieces each one sent out to be washed each week. Mrs Holmes led with 10 hand towels. That was rather sad conyer. sation for you to attempt 10 partlci, pate in when you've passed the morn. ing bending over the soapsuds doing the family washing for seven"
 'I see you doing it sis" encouc. aged her brother. admiringly
 Further" reported Jane Mrs Browne is much dissatisfied with sey. eral little matters. so prepare 10 shed sympathetic tear. She wants 10 give lawn party. but she would be ashamed, actually ashamed. "a invite any one to her lawn she counted l. stumps from the window of her break fast room alone, thought of this" Jane waved her hand
 "Jeems." said her brother. with sud. den severity. T desire you to extract the stumDs from this greensward at once Then seed it down with the best quality Of lawn grass and engage bright young landscape artist to plant border of dwarf redwoods around the pump"
 His sister laughed. "Wel. I don't care, Jim; 1t was pretty awful" she said. Goodness. I really and truly am hungry; caterers never fill me in way that you could call satisfactory. I believe I'll go out to the kitchen. mother. and find that supper you saved for me"
