she has laid away for herself?

There are divers ways of conducting
such showers" Some are elaborate and
others fantastic The simplest form is to
invite guests to spend the evening and
to provide refreshments, such as cake,
coffee, sandwiches, salads, and ice cream
In one of the parlors a table is decorated
with flowers and evergreens, and upon
this are arranged in daintily decorated
parcels of baskets the offerings of linen

asked.
Handing me a picture of herself and
the two dogs "Michae," and his. under
study "Jere" (named for Mr.. Jere Of
the play) she said:
Just see the difference. Jere has
such long legs l. have to argufy with
them all the time when I'm trying to
tuck him away under my arms. His
legs just won't behave and it's the hard :
est thing in the world to carry him. He
was the original Michael, | may as
we'll tell you. Michael himself got stage

from it the next evening that we had to
send Jere on in his place. l have a
very tender feeling in my heart for
Jere because he's an understudy and |
was too, you know so there's that point
in common between us to say the least
of it,"
She laughed heartily at this-that
delicious golden, youthful laughter that
just makes your heart glad and re-
minds you of the happy lines in the
play where Peg says:
daughters not dead in this house.
