"Yes,' said the woman in the bas-
 ket rocker to her guest from the city.
 i've thoroughly have enjoyed our sum-
 why we have stayed until so late in
 the season. It has been so restful
 for me, because I can just turn the
 children loose without any fear of
 their getting into trouble as would
 have back in Chicago! There is ab-
 solutely nothing they can do that my goodness. Richard! What a noise.
 What's happened? What are you walk
 ing that way for? Do stop yelling
 and tell me
 '+Oh! You stepped barefoot on some
 thistles! We'll. why didn't you notice
 where you were going? And what
 have you got your shoes off for any
 howl Will you just excuse me a. min-
 ute, Mrs. Luff, while get the per-
 oxide and some vaseline and ban
 dages? I won't be gone more than a
 moment! Now, come here, Richard, and stop screaming and let me fix
 your feet! Now. you'll have to sit in the hammock. Certainly, you can't go
 walking around with your feet like
 that. Take a book and read and be quiet! Isn't it odd. Mrs. Luff,' con- tinued the woman in the basket rock CT, sthat with acres to walk on Rich ard should pick out a thtstly place for a promenade? You don't suppose he'll have blood poisoning, do you? I heard of 8 child once that lost it's foot just through a rusty tack! If Richard has anything like"
 Luff? It sounds as though it was at our pier! Genevieve and Harry were going swimming with some other chil- dren-would you mind running down with me I never heard such a noise --oh. do you think they are drowned?

 of the bluff then-I must have pulled
 mother. Oh, Genevieve-oh, Harry.
 it's Harry! He's drowned! He's dead!
 Oh. Harry! Harry!
 Yes, I know he's walking along,
 but they are helping him-he's killedi
 He's killed! Oh, Harry-what? You fell off the pier into the water and
 they were laughing at you. My good
 ness-well, what if you can swim! You
 might have been drowned!
 Don't you go near the lake again
 down here to watch you! What good
 would that do? Well, if I saw you going too near the edge of the pier could stop you! Now you needn't laugh in that disrespectful way. Harry I'm all in 8 shake and you might you've frightened me so with your ac- cident Genevieve, you come right in out of the water this minute! One drowning is enough far this time! Really, Mrs. Luff, that was a nar- row escape! If he had been drowned! have something iced to drink and calm ourselves! Did you ever pour hot tea over bruised mint leaves and then set it in the icebox-why, where do you suppose Richard has gone. with his feet bandanged. too?
 -s--I-A I~ T1.1 -Loh, you were gathering leaves for the vases! Now. that was sweet of you, dear, but mother told you-whati You say, Mrs. Luff, that these are poison ivy vines he's handed me? Oh, my goodness and I have three rela-
 tiyes coming to visit in a few days and I can't go around like a lepeI with my face and hands-oh, Richard could spank youi Go into the house this minutei
 What shall do. Mrs. Luff? Soda and water, you say? I knew a woman weeks because of poison ivy. And IT have Richard on my hands, tool could just cryi
 Now, Genevieve. why are you limp ing? Cut your foot on a broken bot tie in the lake? I suppose you'll have blood poisoning now. Come right here and let me put on the peroxide and bandage--if you'll just hold that end Mrs. Luff! Dear me, her bathing suit has dripped water all over your pret- ty dress and that silk does spot easily Now, for goodness sake, Genevieve go out in the yard and sit'in the swing and be quiet when you get dried and dressed! I'm so nervous I feel like 8 jumping jack!
 I'm so glad you drove over today Mrs. Luff. for it's been long time since I've had nice visit with you. Don't you think Oozy lake is an espe- cially restful resort? I have just fell l my nerves relax, more especially since I don't have the children on my mint My gracious, Harry! What ails your face? There's 8 lump as big as an egg-or, Oscar hit you accidentally with the tennis racket. We'll go an6 bathe. it in witch yhazel at once an6 then dust it with talcum. Why if il had hit your eye it would have put il out! You might have been half -blint all the rest of your life! You don't suppose g. blow like that could injure his brain. do you, Mrs. Huff?
