himself One day last week Mrs. Nj
came in to see Charles mother and they
were discussing some handsome lace that
Charles mother showed Mrs. Nj. tell.
ing her at the same'time it was to be used
on sisters wedding dress Mrs Nj
said, WAS this bought by you or is it an
heirloom"
"Oh. my dear, ] should say it is an heir
loom; it's been in the family for genera.
tons!' exclaimed Charles mother. And
Mrs. Nj "oh'd" and "ah'd'' greatly over
the fact and how beautiful the lace was.
Later in the day Charlie asked What
is hairloom, Muddy" "Why, dcarie."
said Mother, tits thing that has been in
the family for years and is handed down
from father 10 son. and on and on through
every generation" She further explained:
That lace you saw Mother show Mrs.
Al this morning has been inheHted by
the eldest daughter in Mothers family for
nve generations; so that is an heirloom"
