Old Mrs. Hart was packing her tan
leather suit case. Eloise herself had
selected it and insisted upon it's use.
Moreover, she had discarded the rusty
black satchel with which Mrs. Hart had
been wont to go traveling-had. in
fact, consigned it to the ash can. Mrs.
Hart was, therefore. reduced to the
necessity of using the new suit case or
staying at home. And as neither con-
dition suited her convenience she was
out of humor.

said Eloise. IF you must go to
Beatrice's 1 wish you to present a good
