Mr.. Considine was a mild man
who didn't object In the least to
his wife's relatives, as such. Even
to Aunt Minnie, when she first
came to visit, he was courteous and
kind as anyone could be. Mr.. Con-
| sidine's wife explained that poor
Aunt Minnie would just be with
them for a week or two, probably,
lalthough she couldn't possibly stay
with Cousin Margaret q day longer,
goodness knows.
Well, the week doubled to two
and the weeks became q month
and the month extended to three.
And still Mr.. Considine wouldn't
! have been impatient or unreason-
able about 1t, except that the peace
of his household was most en-
phatically shattered by the presence
Of Aunt Minnie. A vigorous wom-
man, who would sit at his own
table and peer across when his Sec
ond cup Of coffee was being poured
at dinner and say to Mr.. Con-
sidine's wife:
Nov, you know, Martha, that
John shouldn't have more than one
cup at q meal. You've said yourself
john" she'd attack him directly,
that you're not sleeping well.''
Now, peace at any price" was
more usually Mr.. Considine's mot
to, and he adhered to it pretty well
when it came to things governing
his own conduct, but when Aunt
Minnie began picking on young
Henry Considine, his father went
up In the air.
Its the second time this week
that boys asked to go to the
movies" Aunt Minnie announced
firmly one night at the dinner ia
ble," and If was his father
wouldn't allow it. No, sir. It's in
dulging children like that that
spoils them for all good use when
+, they grow up. Now, when 1 was

when you were a child" John
Considine finally cut in, "you were
not taught to mind your own bust
nses."
Aunt Minnie glared at him and
then, bursting into tears, threw
down her napkin and left the room.
| Now, see what you've DONE"
Martha Considine said reproachful-
ly. And 1t inst as If she was real
ly to be lame, joni. We just must
be patient with her. After what
she went through at Margaret's-

"exactly is the matter with Aunt

whole body took the place of words.
Before she realized it her mother
had her arms around her and she
was crying into the brown coat. The
fur felt soft against her cheeks and
there was something very familiar
about the f1owerlike fragrance that
was part of the woman. Suddenly
she thought of father and how angry
he'd be If he could see her like this.
She Strengthened up and pushed her
mother from her.
She was surprised to hear herself
saying: I've got to get back to my
geography. I've got to finish my
map" She raised her eyes to her
mothers face. I'm in the middle
of Peru and I've got to fill in the
pink today"
Lying in bed later that night, Mary
happened, but she had gone upstairs
for her map after her mother had
told her to, and they had filled in"
Peru together.
And then-but Mary couldn't be-
gin to remember all the fun they'd
had. The big car with the radio in
it and the chauffeur, who called
her mother Mrs. Blackmer. The ride
through the country and that little
tea room where they had ice cream
cake with fudge sauce. Two help
ings.
And mother! Mother knew all
about Peru. Imports and exports
and everything She even knew the
names of all the Presidents Of the
United States. She understood how
Mary felt about dolls feelings and
she sang the funniest little songs
about "Old Man Moon" and Water
melon Growing on the Vine" And
Mary had told her all kinds of
things-things she couldn't tell father
because he was man, and things
Miss Sheldon just never would un-
derstand.
1t wasn't until mother was leav-
ing and had leaned down to kiss
Mary good-by that Mary thought
of father again. She ran upstairs
and sat down on her little white
bed. For the second time that
day she cried. Everything was so
mixed up.
And an hour later, when little
Anne Corbet, who had two mothers
and two fathers, came in to ask Mary
to help her with her home work,
she found Mary sound asleep on her
bed.

Her father came to see her every
time he was in town. And when ne
was away he'd write her long let
tiers and send her candy, which she
had to keep out of sight Of Miss Shell
don. But she never saw her mother.
And whenever she mentioned mother
to father he'd put his hands to his
TEMPLES as though his head ached.
And that time she mentioned her
to Grandma RaWlinS! Grandma had
said that Mary should never think
of her mother. That her mother was
a bad woman and that hanging was
too good for any woman who could
leave her child and run oil with
another man. Mary had wanted to
know more, but grandma was asking
her what she'd like most when she
came back from New York.
1t happened one day in the geogra-
ply class. Miss Sheldon came into
the class room and took Mary down
to her Office.
Your mother is in the drawing
room," she said.
Mary's heart began to beat so
quickly she could feel it all the way
down in her finger-tips. Mother was
here at last. Then she thought of
father and Grandma RaWlinS. She
could feel her cheeks burning and she
thought she was going to cry. She
didn't know what to do.
1--WE got to go back to my geogra-
ply" she managed, in little gaSps.
"I'ye got to finish my map" And
before Miss Sheldon could answer
Mary ran out of the office and into
her class room. She sat down at
her desk and began to tremble. What
would father say if he knew mother
was sitting downstairs? Oh, why
wasn't father here?
A few minutes later the door opened
and Miss Sheldon walked in. Mary
pretended not to see her. She didn't
come over to where Mary was sitting,
but stood on the teachers platform
and the teacher raped on her desk
for silence.
MARY Rawlins,' Miss Sheldon said
when the class was quiet, please go
down to my office and wait for me-"
All the little girls looked at Mary.
Mary didn't move.
This minute, please" Miss Shell
don's voice was stern.
Mary hesitated a moment and then
got up slowly. She'd 60 down to
Miss Sheldon's office and wait for her.
When Miss Sheldon came in she'd
tell her all about mothers running
away with another man and how
grandma said hanging was too good
for a woman like that. Then Miss
Sheldon wouldn't make her go into
. the drawing room. Miss Sheldon
