MONDAY.
The Fourth Of July promised TO be
perfect day. Long before the usual hour
for rising in the Hooper household, Betty
was shouting from her crib, II want to
get up" and Helena and Roger began
moving around in their rooms just after
dawn.
The days festivities were to begin at
half past 10 with a parade through tbs
downtown streets Of May6eld and Henry
and the children had planned to start
early so they might have good places
from which to see it pass. Mrs. Hooper
with q number Of the other women who
had charge Of the arrangements for the 1
garden party, was to 90 right up to the :
Jackson place after breakfast and get
their various booths and tables arranged.
Helen scamFered through her work
and Mrs. Hooper put everything in
order. The unusual event of a holiday
celebration made it necessary to omit
nothing from her schedule, but the usual
Monday morning inspection which waE6k
really not very important this week, b z
cause the entire house had been cleanedX
one room at time, and there were com Is
paratively few things outside Of tn ~
house supplies to be noted in the memoir -
piled for the week
Shortly after 8 o'clock Henry and the
children left the house promising to re-
turn for the cold luncheon that Mrs.
Hooper said she would leave for them.
She expected to be back in time to change
her clothes and dress Betty for the gar
den party, but everything had been pre-
pared for the family's luncheon so there
was no necessity for her to hurry back
on their account.
The bride called for her at half past
nine, bringing q taxi, in which all theiR
cakes and cookies were carefully packed
and transported to the scene of the gar
den party.
u wonder how in the world poor Mrs.
Briggs is managing this morning" said
the bride. How she ever gets anywhere
in time is moro than I can see"
II haven't a bit Of patience with her."
exclaimed Mrs. Hooper. There is no
sense in any sane woman living in such
confusion. She could budget her income
and her time and get things Strengthened
out If she wanted to the way the rest
Of US do"
"Oh. I don't believe It is so easy as
you think, Mrs. Hooper" said the bride.
IT'S Just awful to overcome the habit
Of a lifetime. I'm having a pretty hard
time keeping on schedule myself-and
know If I'd ever sunk as deeply into
disorder as Mrs. Griggs has I Just never
would get out"
"Oh, yes, you would" insisted Mrs
Hooper. Just look at Mrs. CampbeIl>~
Youde be surprised"
But the taxi was turning in at the
gate Of the Jackson grounds, and at
their first sight of the beautiful green
awns with their wonderful old shade
trees, gany decked with red-an- white
striped booths and enormous umbrellas.
Mrs. Hooper and the bride forgot every
thing but their enthusiasm for the COM
Ing party and were soon busy with the
other women arran cling their special
tables.
By 2 80 the whole town Of MayfeId
seemed TO have assembled IN the beauti-
fui grounds Mrs. Jackson and the Of
fcers Of the Woman's Club took their
places on the platform that had been
erected on the lawn near the west wing
Of the house A stringed orchestra that
was 10 play later for the dancing was
stationed on the veranda and opened the
program with the star Spangled Ban
ner' with every one singing the national
anthem. Mr.. Jackson was then intro
duced by the president Of the Woman's
Club. He spoke so simply and feelingly
and understandingly Of the things of
which al men and women are now think
ing in connection with the country that
his message Of patriotism went home to
their hearts as no Fourth of July ora
tors had ever done before It was
plain speech from q man that they had
always supposed spoke a different Ian
guage from theirs because he was rich,
but he addressed them now as a neigh
Dor and a friend and pointed out that
their interests in the preservation of
American ideals, and his must be the
same. He concluded by thanking the
Woman's Club for this party, which he
hoped would mark the beginning for him
Of long friendship with his neighbors.
Isn't he great maxim US all thinkA
we did itf" exclaimed Mrs Campbell.
Il wonder how We all got the idea he
was SO stuck up. and that little girl
Of his is regular little lady. She's
just like her pa"
He certainly has made It possible for
us to have most wonderful party"
added Mrs Hooper, who was sitting on
low campstool next Mrs. Campbell. AZ
believe we will all not only know and
understand him better because of this
Fourth Of July-but Wen feel very much
better acquainted with each other"
