The most particular of housekeepers, I knew-for I had been in it-that the room next to her own which was in- tended for Leila's occupancy was in spotlesS order, as inviting as perfect cleanliness and the reflected dainti- ness of Mrs. Durkees tastes could make it. But no matter how care fully she had prepared for guests, she always uttered the same little formula about being ashamed of her rooms and her beds and her cooking and all the other details of housekeeping in which she was so adept.

That Leila had seen this and had deftly avoided the pitfan augured we'll I thought. for her success in the deli cate task before her.
 The two weeks of Mrs. Durkee's confinement to her room confirmed me in my opinion that the gentle Vir- ginia girl had rare tact and discre- tion, founded genuinely upon kindly feeling and delicate instincts. She managed her future mother law beautifully with just the right note of deference in her manner, and if it had not been for kAlfred's own short sightedness there would have been no hint of discord

 fear the girls sensitive nature would read into the warning something Of the truth of her undesired presence which had been so carefully kept from her. But I soon saw that she needed no such adm onition, for she never obtruded her own views or recipes upon her prospective mother in-law and listened patiently to the showers of instructions the older woman gave her concerning the dif- ferent varieties of 'preserves' she wished made.
 l knew. however, that besides fol- lowing Mrs. Durkee's instructions Leila had made number of the southern dainties she loved for Al fred, and With a mans obtuseness and a sweetheart's fatuity, he, one evening after supper, put some especially de- licious conserve into a dish and brought it to his mothers bedside, where Leila and I were sitting.
