we have all been worrying about
Mother Waverly and especially have
l been afraid that she would want to
live with me and all the while she
has been making her own plans.
l even think, little book, that you
will crinkle when you hear them.
She came in the other day when
Madame Symone was here calling.
Mother WaVerly has always stood
more or less in awe of Harry Sy-
mone's stately and unbending moth
er, but this day it was plain to be
seen she felt she could meet her on
common ground.
"Of course, Mrs. Symone, Margie
has told you of my daughter Mollie's
engagement to Mr.. Chadwick Hat
ton," she began.
Eyes, Mrs. Waverly was telling me
of it as you came in. Are you pleased?
Do you like the young man? Harry
tells me he is a splendid fellow"
81 am much delighted. Already
Chadwick is like a son to me-"
81 suppose nothing has been ar
ranged about the wedding as YET"
was Madame Symone's next polite
question.
Nothing has been talked about as
yet, but l know that those children
will leave it all to me- They will, of
course, have a wedding appropriate
to Chadwick's wealth and position
and then they will take long, leis-
ureIy wedding trip around the world
and 1 expect to accompany them"
Even Madame Symone looked
rather flabbergasted. The idea of
a honeymoon trip accompanied by a
mother-in-law was new one to her.

the while l was thinking how tragic
this would be to poor Mollie. knew

l had been so busy with my
thoughts that had not been paying
much attention to the conversation
and my wandering mind came back
to hear Nine. Symone saying gra-
ciously:
81 shall be very glad to entertain
at dinner for your daughter, my dear
Mrs. Waverly, for although you and
have not known each other very
we'll my boy and yours are the great
est of friends, and Eliene has always
since she first saw Mrs. Waverly, Jr.,
declared she was not only the clever

known"
THAT is very nice of Eliene, am
sure" spoke up Mother Waverly in
rather deprecating manner. 81, of
course, know Margie's worth and
consequently am more than pleased
when find it appreciated.
1t was a nice little speech but, lit

Wednesday morning from Brookings
and will settle in their home on the
farm in north Mathews township as
soon as possible. Their car of house,
hold goods did not arrive until We'd
nesday afternoon. The West family
have spent two years in Brookings.
Their reason for moving from the farm
was to give the children the advantage
of a high school, and B%rookings was
chosen as the place because it afford
ed George an opportunity to secure en-
ployment to his liking, as well as pro-
viding the school facilities. Now that
the children have had their schooling
they gladly move back to the farm and
the people of this vicinity are glad to
see them reside here once more.-De

The plays which do the most good

thinking. The task has been well &C
complished by Harold Bell Wright in
the dramatization of his popular book,
THE Calling of Dan Matthew'S The
scene of the play is in the Ozark noun
tains, in a little town called Corinth.
The hero is a young preacher, and by
the way, is the son of our old friends,
Sammy and Young Matt, whom we
know in The Shepherd of the Hills
who comes to Corinth to be pastor OF
one of it's churches. At first he is

ton as pastor, and the most influential
members in the church turn QUITO be

dramatization, the story is brought ou
with dramatic force and strength that
leaves absolutely nothing to be de
