 Doing their own work, indeed!" laughed Julia... t.Iy good lady. you forget Carrie. Carrie comes in every night to do the dishes. and because she's coloured,' my Aunt May has all ways felt that she stole sugar and tea.

 well, then, where is the pill in the 1elly2" asked Barbara sOlicitously
 Julia had flung back her head and was listening intently- Footsteps and voices were enthusiastically coming up the hall stairs.
 ''No pilIs-all jelly!" she had time to say smiling1y. before the door opened and three persons came into the room: Doctor Studdiford, shand- somer and more boyishly radiant than ever; Miss Poland, quite gray, but erect and vigorous still; and little Anna, a splendid, glowing ten-year- old. in the blue serge sailor suit and round straw hat made popular by the little English princess.
 Babel followed. Every one must kiss Barbara; little George must come in for his full share of atten- ton. Presently the beaming Ellie was summoned, and the children went away with her; Barbara carried off her aunt for a maleShift luncheon In the dismantled Curriel mansion, and the Studdifords were left alone.
 We picked Aunt Sanna up at the corner" said Jim, one arm about his wife as they stood in the window looking down at the departing wis itors, "and of course Anna must drag iler along with us to see the baby lion! stopped at Lord Essels'. by the way, and it's a perfect knit-can't tell where one bone stops and the other begins!"
 "Oh. Jimmy, you old miracle work CT! Aren't you p1eased?"
 Well, rath-er! And young Lady EsseIs wants to call on you. Ju; says you were the 1oveIiest thing at the New Years ball 1astsyear! Remem- ber when we rushed home to feed Georgie, and rushed back again?''
 oh, perfectly I hope she will come; she looked sweet And every one's coming to our Tuesday dinner, Jim. except Ivy; notes from them all. Ivy says Lady Violet is so i'll that she can't promise, but Phyllis is coming with the new husband. She wrote such a cunning note! And I'll see Ivy this afternoon, and think T'1l tell her that I'm going to leave her place open; if she can't come, | why we'll just have to have a man, | oyer. that's all! It won't be awfuIly formal anyway. Jimmy, at this time of the yearF
 'EWhatever you say, old 1ady!" Jim was thinking of something else How do you feel about leaving the kids and going off for little run with the | Tarkes tomorrow night?' he asked | He's found some new place in which he wants us to dine and sleep. Home | the next morning.

 That's tomorrow"
 Tomorrow Jim hesitated. s1 know you're not crazy about them." he said.
 T don't dislike then1." Julia said brightly. She's really lots of fun, but of course. he's the Honourable and he's a little spoiled But I'm really glad to go. Was Anna nice this morning."
 ''Oh. she was Iovely-held her Ift- tie head up and trotted along, asking | Intelligent questions. don't you know ! not like a chatterins kid. She pitched right into me on the govern question; she's all for Miss Per cival's school, won't hear of a gov erness for minute!''
 And the stern parent compronis- | ed on Miss sPercival?' smiled Julia.
 Well, only promised for year." Jim said, shame-faced. 'And you l were against the governess proposi- tiou too." he added accusingly.
 Absolutely" she assured him | sothingly. q love to have Anna with me in the afternoons and when Bab's in town we can send her over there-she's no trouble!" Julia turn ed her face up for a kiss.
