Dick and Aunt Mary both
came home tonight, and at last'I
have my family with me. 1t
seems good, l tell you. little
book.
Dick had been with his mother
almost all day and was thorough
ly discouraged and disheartened.
II really do not know what we
can do, Aunt Mary to make
Mother comfortable and Mollie
happy"
IL don't believe, Richard, that
you can make your mother COM
Portable" said Aunt Mary gently.
"Sallie never was a woman who
thought things out, neither did
she ever think of anyone else
very much.
Richard always thought of
her and for her. He had the old
fashioned notion that this was a
mans duty toward the woman he
married. The whole trouble,
children, and | am afraid it is
going to be rather serious, is that
your mother will not in any way
conform to the ways of the
younger generation while she
will expect you to conform to her
ways of living.
Your mother, Dick, has none
of the resources that should be
the compensations of age-she
never reads. She will not go to
the theater or her card club now,
and by the time her conventional
period of mourning Is over she
will have dropped behind the
procession of her intimates. Dick,

mother make an old woman of

mot ON your life," answered
Dick heartily. Poor Mother! /
am very, very sorry for her, but
she certainly must do little for
herself. She was very bitter
toward Mary. She could not see
why Mary should have the adj
ministration of her affairs. At
last l had to tell her that | did
not have time to devote to the
book shop and that l did not
trust Jack. This made her fight
ing mad.
"'Do you mean to tell me that
you trust the woman your
brother has married to greater
extent than your own brother?
He was here yesterday and told
me she was making the place a
regular club for the men about
town.
He said / ought to have
much more money than | am get
ting and asked me IL l was going
to let her run my business as a
side line for flirtations.'
This made me crazy, and /
simply told mother just what
Jack was and how he would even
rob her to get money to drink
and carouse. l left her In hys-
terics and calling on dear dead
Dad to come back to her. / am

whole matter"
after you went away, Rich
ard, l had a little talk with Sallie
and Mollie and | got her to con-
sent to rent the house furnished
and she and Mollie to board
somewhere.
Il know just the place for
them if Mother will consent to
it," / said, "and that is the place

An ostrich egg is six inches
