discovered All the servants were seat

for concert with Virginia Truxton|
Glazebrook, a mite OF four years, and
Robinson Cox Glazebrook. aged eight as
artists. There was Emma the cook. who,

nursed in Mrs. 'Glazebrooks family
when her sister, sallie. now Mrs. Charlie

young lady. But the climax of the en-

grown-ups do--sometiuies. Altogether 1t
was one of the prettiest sights you ever
saw. and quite worth the long wait
on the door step in the rain.
