And Uncle John was the last of them
| and being supposed to be dead. by life
insurance rules. at eighty-nine, there
was twenty thousand coming to him.
And sure enough it came that
morning. And do you know, he acted
in the queerest way. He forgot all
about our kindness to him and wanted
to go off and enjoy himself. Well, we
couldn't let an old man that age go in
to the hard world with all that money
to sQuander. He gave I'm at last, but
he wouldn't let Silas put his money
in the bank for him, nor he wouldn't
buy share in the farm neither.
No, Maria he said, chuckling,
III stay since you seem so fond of
me. But it's cold in the attic and my
old bones are chilly
Then why don't you say SOP an

best room, only Silas was waiting to
have il painted
He chuckled in the most malicious
way, which, seeing all we had done for
him, was at least cruel But those old
men don't have the same human
sympathies as us younger folks.
We'll. after that Uncle John stayed
on with US. and of course we couldn't
let an old man like that do any work.
He just mooned about the farm, smok-
ing his pipe and eating his head off,
and seeming to grow younger every
day. Took dislike to Mary, too. I'd
thought of getting rid of her, but
Uncle John wouldn't hear of that.
Keep her, the good-for-nothing wench,
he said. I'll make her work And
he used to give her a tongue lashing
every morning and talk to her about
her duties to her benefactors which
almost brought tears of Joy to Silas's
eyes AND mine. But Mary didn't seem
to care
Long Falls to do some marketing for
me and wasn't back in time. Uncle
John got so mad with her he wouldn't
be satisfied till Silas let him take the
buggy and drive in after her. They
came back about eight in the evening,
and if you'd heard the language he
was using to her when they got out of
the cart 1t would have warmed your
heart. And the hussy was laughing!
Didn't care a bit-just laughed!
However, Silas got him to make
his will month before he died, and
he left everything to me, and Silas got
it in black and white and took it in
to his lawyer. We thought we had
done our duty then, and so we just
folded our hands and waited.
We'll, Mrs. Tompkins, the end came
very sudden. Apoplexy, the doctor
said. And would you belive it, the
old rake had made a second will the
day after he gave his first to Silas, |
and in it he left us ninety-two dollars |
apiece for board and lodging and COM
forts, and the rest went to my dear |
wife, Mary Callaghan Smith They'd |
got married that day at Long Falls.
Yes, Mrs. Tompkins. the. deceitfnl
ness of some old men is past reckon
ing, and the only charitable thing to
do is to forget about it. Besides, Mrs.
Smith has the mortgage on our farm,
so don't let her know that l was

Grass rugs, which have been for some
years popular on porches, ETC., are now
taking step up into the bedroom.
The one objection to the rug in the
past has been that the grass was rather
harsh to the tread, but improvements in
the weave have been made during the
past season. using the finer but closer
warp, that have eliminated this objection
and undoubtedly the grass rug will be
used more largely during the coming
season than ever before.
While we are speaking of bedrooms
and porches, it is impossible to over
look the growing popularity of wicker
furniture.
A few years ago the stores carried
little of this with fear and trembling
but today wicker furniture is staple
in the upholstery department.
Have you noticed the advance made
in linoleum in the past two or three
years? There is hardly any sort OF
pattern that cannot be had in this mate
rial.

proving on the dyestuffs used and today
there is vast range of these lightweight
materials which resist the action of the
sun to really remarkable extent.
1t is a we'll known fact that the sun
shining through the glass not only has
a tendency to fade a fabric but has, in
a modified form, the effect of burn
ing glass. Yet the lightweight, modern
upholstery fabrics withstand this double
action for many months.

than styles in clothing, but none the less
surely.

Of course these printed materials are

These are usually used in connection

The old idea that the minute the first

to rip out everything that had the least
suggestion of house furnishing and to
live In house consisting of four walls
and chair or two, said chairs carefully
draped in prison striped coverings, has
gone out of fashion.

pearance with the light, modern drap-

OF particular interest this season
are the cresonnes, ranging in price from
as low as IS cents and ~ cents Up to
IS cents and even 81.
During the height of the quadri-an-
nual spasm, known as Presidential Elec-
ton, there were some very amusing al
legged facts brought to light in regard
to this line of fabrics 1t was said that
foreign scrirns and crctonnes could be
bought for IL cents and Is cents, equal
in quality to American made goods a,

any housekeeper that she may have a

Perhaps this is the reason that more
and more the homes during the summer
have ceased to be barns and are really

These rugs have no pile and are
therefore much cooler in appearance
than the pile fabrics. Moreover, the
wonderful range of colorings, including
pastel effects, are to be found in very
few fabrics.
