~ LIMMER of pink, touches of
- blue, flashes of orchid, and
IN over all the mists of the
morning, intermingIed with the
green of the deep sea--that was
the way the Arden summer house
looked early every summer MORN
ing. Near noon it grew wilted
and ragged looking, and at night
it was just a mass Of ruins. Then
the four married daughters of the
Linden home, who came home OS
evenings to visit, always said:,
IF you are going to keep hav-
ing a pergola, mother dear, why
don't you set out roses around it,
or honeysuckle, or some other
kind OF rare vines or flowers, so
that it will be beautiful all day
long? It's so odd-looking-morn-
ing gIories! Why, they're old
fashioned and"-
$50 much like me-" Mother Ar
den always finished. with the
new porches to the old home,
and everything changed, they
make me think Of the time when
you and Linden were little"
All the four daughters and
father thought of Linden as the
brilliant sister and daughter, who
lived in the city and wrote books.
They gloried over her wonderful
stories in the magazines.
While to Mother Arden, Linden
was still her. Queer little daugh-
teri who would have stayed at
home and written while the fairies
visited her in the arbor it her
gruff, unromantic father had
loved her as she did him. Or ii
the man next door, who was as
cold as ice and as practical as
practical could be. had fallen in
love with her when she grew up,
in return for the alteration she
showered on him all her life.
But neither Of them did. And
she was just like her morning
glories, beautiful, vivid and de-
manding wealth of color IN
life and love- Mother Arden
mourned to herself. Neither of
them appreciate her loneliness.
Because if they did, they would
call her back"
One evening she said to the
practical man from next door,
who should have been Linden's
lover and the gruff man, who was
Linden's father: "I think Linden
will come home next month. She
says she feels that it would be
better for her than going abroad.
While the two men played chess,
Mrs. Arden closed her eyes. The
two men both looked at her and
thought that her, slenderness, her
grace, her dusky eyes. her regular
features and her beautiful lips
were much like Linden's, but
neither of them said so.
Mrs. Arden was seeing her best
beloved daughter lying on the floor
of the summer house scribbling
on a pad. Then she had been
tiny tot.
You must always keep my
morning glory bower for me.
mother" Linden had told her
mother when she went away.
