CHAPTER vi

Rain kept the two families in the
luxury and pleasure. Aunt Elsie, upon
whom Ellen had descended for the
day, had found a pleasant little coun-
try nurse for Tommy, the same maid
that she had had during her illness.
and Ellen consequently had nothing to
do but amuse herself. The big car
was at the ladies' disposal, Gibbs often
went with them, his father less fre-
quently. Joe sometimes Joined them
In the evenings, and George Lathrop
duly gave them dinner party.
To this party Harriet came, thin,
nervous, sweet girl, plain of face, but
with a pretty manner, and most at
ease with joe She accepted Ellen's
overtures of friendship eagerly, sent
her flowers. and showed in more than
one way her pleasure in the compan-
ionship of Joe's sister.
So ten days went by, and long be
fore they were over Ellen began to
long for a simpler life. where Gibbs
would seem her own again, and where
Tommy might always be free, in the
happy old way, to be in his mothers
company. They would visit the Long
Island house, that would be simpler
life, at least, and then they would
find a studio and apartment of their
own, keep the little Port Washington
Lizzie for Tommy, get cook besides.
and go back to their own way Of liv-
ing.

ther-in-law, who was driving the car,
was In an ecstasy as she began to rec
ognize the familiar country.
"Thls is our little outfit" Josselyn,
Senior, said, at last, turning in at a
white-pebbled drive, between great
trees and spraying, enormous rose
trees that already wore young green.
The hard-rolled lawns showed faint,
emerald film; bushes ready to bud
we're everywhere; in few weeks the
place would be mass of fragrant
bloom. All about were the curves and
rises of wooded hills, beyond lay the
Sound, coldly blue in the distance.
Here and there another country home
was visible; stately facade of dark
brick, or the classic green and white
of the modern colonial wood. Each
of these had its fifty or a hundred
acres. its stables and garage and lodge
to match the house. The Josselyn es-
tate was small, less than ten acres in
all; there was handsome fence and
some of the finest woodland on the en-
tire island, but no lodge.
But Ellen had only confused i'm
preston of these things at the mo-
ment; her whole attention was cen
tered on the house. She gave Gibbs
one amazed glance. he met her look,
and they botn burst into laughter.
We've been had. old dear, what "
he said shamefacedly.
Lillian smiled contenfedlv.

He didn't bother Bobby a bit In fact, hs was the best kind of neishbor because he attended to his own affairs and didn't meddle with Bobby's at all. Sometimes when he was passing Bobby's house he would stop long enough to wish Bobby good luck in his deep, grumbly riimbly voice, and Bobby always wished him good luck in return. He took special pains to do this and to be polite about it, You know, nothing is lost by being polite.
 So Bobby soon felt quite happy and safe and contented in his new home and began to spend very much of his neighborhood. He would wait until he had seen Buster Bear start off for another part of the Green Forest and then he would come out and prowl about to his heart content At firAt he thought that Buster Bear was his only near neighbor, but one afternoon he made a discovery and in 50 doing hee had an adventure.

 Give pantry shelves two coats of ordinary white paint and then third finishing coat of white enamel. As soon as the enamel dries wash it with cold water and it will harden quickly. Do not cover these shelves with paper but leave them bare and notice the inn provement. The enamel is easily wiped clean with a damp cloth.
 Unreasonable clothing should be put away in perfect order SO that it will be ready for wear when wanted. These clothes should be thoroughly cleansed and repaired. Wool garments should be carefully brushed and hung in the sun to de- stroy eggs of moths. They may be hung in light cotton bags or packed in tight boxes with all openings pasted over to protect the contents from moths. All boxes should be labeled.
