But" continued Mrs. Twitter, "do
they ever tell about dear mother and
what sort of time she had? For
weeks she made mince meat and
stewed pumpkins, and during the sum-
mer she sweltered over the fire to
make the jelly. Imagine the thankful
ness in her heart when she saw whole
days of hard work gobbled up at one
meal. How charming to have all the lit
tie folk around the house? Yes, ma'am?
But what about sweeping up the mud
tracks afterwards and plucking raisin
seeds off the best hair cloth furniture,

Mother did not sit before the fireplace
and tell stories. She was putting little
cotton blankets on her burnt thumbs,
for basting turkey is perilous busi-
ness, let me tell you. How jolly 1t was
to crack nuts, too. But where was
mother? Oh, she was busy some
where. Yes, we recollect now. She
was putting a cold cloth on her throb-
bling brow; she had to pull herself to-
gether so as to have strength enough
to serve a bit of supper afterward."

after all, that's more fun than anything

to anything you can get downtown, or
at any country club! My child,
there's nothing equal to it, and it is
really a lark to cook it."
''Blithers." remarked Mrs. Twitter.
Mrs. Bumpweather said nothing, as
if she meant it.
"Rlithers!" exclaimed Mrs. Twitter
again.
Mrs. Bumpweather slipped her hand
through Mrs. Filters arm.
You're tired, little one," said she.

If you're mending a pair of your old

the strutting fowl. Mr.. Cassidy moved
over toward the fence and watched
him in helpless indecision.
Just as Mr. Dorsey had his hands
extended to grab the turkey, Mr.. Cas-

key, frightened, scuttled through a
hole in the fence and into Mr.. Cas-
sidy's yard. Whereat Mr.. Cassidy made
a quick jump for 1t. But he missed it

he was intending to set out early let

IN THE days when Harlem was so

long desirously to go out there and

went four feet up and down and six
sideways to every one ahead.
On landing at Castle Garden, they
remained in the city long enough to
purchase a gold brick apiece and get
held up and robbed; then their bucoiic
desires ameliorated with metropolitan
disgust and they trekked to the afore-

selves two little shacks, perched high
on the edge of Somebody or Others
