One native who has kept tab on
the romances. dignities and genius
that help to make the history of the
old house, was passing it the other
evening when ii came back to her
that of all her collection of incidents
nothing was more-say unusual
than her own small experience on an

She was stopped by a couple of
women in herringbone coats with a
handbag and umbrella between them
who wanted to know if the house

was it free?
The native explained that it was a
private residence. and that the bas-
rcliefs were Thorwaldsens -Four

The native admitted the demise.
Well, he left a mighty comfortable

make all that money out of calendars
DO you know of a moderate lunch
place anywhere around?"
The native felt within herself that
she had conscientiously expended her
entire stock of information. And
when the back seams of the herring
bone were turned to her, she smiled
at the stately old mansion. And it
seemed to her that the stately old
mansion smiled back.
