The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1915-10-13

built those ta Dies, thereby d1SclpI1n-. ing masculine Glendale with a severity that I didn't think could have been in us.
 We all rested on Sunday-that is, os- tenSiby. Jane put down all sorts of things on paper that everybody had to do on Monday and on Tuesday. Hen rietta sat by her in state of trance. and it did me good to see Sa1lie out in the hammock at WidegabIes taking care of both the kit and the pup, la boriously assisted by panting4 Aunt Dilsie, because Jane explained to her so beautifully that she needed a lot Of Henrietta's time, that Salffe ac- quiesced with good natured bewiIder- ment. Of course Cousin Jasmine help ed her some, but she was busy aiding Cousin Martha to beat up some mysZ terious eggs in the kitchen, with the shutters sh1.t because it was Sunday It was something that takes two days to ssset' and was to be the piece de re sistance, after the barbecue. Mrs. Hargrove couldn't t. help Sallie at all with the kiddies either, because she was looking through all her boxes and bundles for letter from her son which she thought said something about fa- voring woman's rights, and if it is like she thinks it is she is going to go to the barbecue and get things nice and hot instead of having them brought to her cold.
 had hoped to get a few minutes Sunday afternoon to myself so could go up into the gaEret and look through one of the trunks I brought from Paris with me to see how many sets of things l have got left. I am going to need a trOusseau pretty soon, and I might need it more suddenly than I expect. I don't see any reason for peoples not marrying Immediately when they make up their minds, and my half of ours is made up strong enough to decidedly influence rapidity in his. But then I really don't believe that the Graz would care very much about the high lights of rousseau, and itx was just as well that Nell came in to get me to help her write letter to national Headquarters to know if she could have any kind of assignment in the cam paign for the convention to alter the constitution in Tennessee when it meets next winter
 Have you made up your mind fully to go in for public life, NelI?'s I asked mildly. Some of your friends might not like it very much and-and''-
 If you mean Polk Hayes, Eveiina, ''t Nell answered with the positiveness that only very young person can get up the coysgage to use, T have forgot that I was ever influenced by his nar-t row minded, primitive personality at all. If I ever love and marry 1t will be man who can appreciate and fur ther my real woman's .destiny.''
 Well, then, that's all right I an gwered, with such relief in my heart that it must have showed in my voice sHr1I7 @Rz 5ince could see plainly, though she snasn't told me yet, and I am sure she doesn't realize it, that Jane had decid-- ed Folks destiny. Nell is not twenty 4lnes yet, and she will find lots of men m the world that will be fully capable 3lf making her believe they feel that sFay about her destiny until they suc- geed in tying her up to using it for the Iteal utilitaFian purposes they are sure ouch a pretty woman is created for.
 It will take men in general another 1lundred years yet and lots of suffering 10 realize that a woman's destiny is Ilnything but himselfN and get to house keeping with her on that basis.
 The Graz didn't jog into Glendale on 1Jis rawboDed old horse until 1:30 Mon Hay night. I had been watching down Providence road for him from my pill 3pw ever since put out my light at U because Jane had decided that it 1gas our duty to go to bed early so as Eo be as fresh as possible for the rally sl the morning. She had walked to ahe gate with Polk at 10 and hadn't come back until Il, so, of course; she lTas ready to turn in. It was just fool jlIh, primitive old convention that kept Q1e from slipping on my slippers and xtT~ Qpes that ever came across the Allan t;c, Louise de Mereton. Rue de Rfvoli, laris-and going down to the gate to qee him for just a minute. That sec and he stood undecided in the middle tIf the road looking at my darkened I:ouse was agony that I'm not going t1 put up with very much longer.
 3 Jane and I with Henrietta were out hy the old gray moss rock at the first E&eak of day installing Jasper and Pc tunia and a few of their confreres. Jasper had always been king of all Glendale barbecue pits, and he had had them dug the day before and filed with dry hickory fires all night, and his tmien was so naughty that I trembled for the slaves under his command. His basket of s'yarbs' was under the side of the rock in hoodoo-lilke shadows, and the wagons of poor, innocent, sac rifced lambs and turkeys and sucking pigs were backed up by the largest in ferna1 pit. Petunia was already elbow deep in a cedar tub of cornmeaI for the pones, and another minfon was shueking late roasting ears and wash ing the sweet potatoes to be packed down with the meat by 8 o'clock wagon was to collect the baked hams. and sandwiches and biscuits and con- factions of ali variety and pedigree from the rest of the league at 10 o'clock.
 We didn't know it then, but another wagon was already being loaded very r,riratelrz ir, to1.zr, zuitta ica and l,o+tlns
