She attired herself on New Years

And thus the deacon escaped.
"Eh! What's that noise? If it's the

1t sounded more like someone laugh

Ethan Crane sat down with his hat

Y He had just come back
with the weekly paper
and one letter from his tramp through
the snow to the post office.
Old Mrs. Crane had brought in the
lighted candles and piled an extra log
on the fire.
Ethan tore open the envelope and
read the inclosed card: Miss Angela
Hanna. At Home. January 1st.'"
'La!" said Mrs. Crane. "She wants
you to call there"
"Get out" said Ethan, with sudden
access of sheepishness. "Why should
I go there?"
swell, why not?" asked Mrs. Crane.

Deacon Perkins received one of
Miss Hanna's cards and so did Squire
