. ("Viral move was a terrible blow
vto my father. His pride had
- been cut In Its soreat spot, and he
was in mortal terror lest my
. mother's parents should somehow
Jliiil out what had happoned.
, "Don't write your grandparents
wnere we are living now," he told
ul trying hard to act casual.
"let's keep it tor a surprise. " His
shame was almost pitiful, and for
. on.:e even Julia softened.
' There must have been plenty of
tal in town, but my mother held
her head high. "We're going to
spend our summer in the Ameri
can House," she told her f.iends
and neighbors. It was almost as
though she was saying, "We are
takintf a trip to Boston." With us
she was as pleasant and com'
posed aa ever. But there vas i
new set to her chin whenevor the
American House was mentloncj.
' She had found thinss worse.
really, than she. had expected.
Provisions had been bought by
wnoiosaie, ana Doth the cellar ;
the storeroom were stocked with
perishables meat, eggs, butter,
barrels of crackers, a crate of
.oranges, and two whole bunches
of bananas, The place was over
staiTcdj too. There were two wait
resses, a chef, a chambermaid, c
clerk, and two men In the stable,
all of whom had been sent on by
the same agency that had recom
mended Jim McCluro. .
'.. -."What we need is native help,"
my mother said after one look at
me Kitcnen, so . sne discharged
those from the agency (all of
whom had been resting woll and
toting heartily) and set out to And
local people to take their places.
The first fruit of her search was

New Bath Towels
By MRS. ANNE CABOT
Crocheted flower motifs in
bright colors are easily and
quickly done in spare moments
and certainly do turn an ordinary
turkish towel Into a rather do
luxe affair! Use three colors in
each pin the flower motifs and
flower pot designs onto your
towels and whip-stitch with
white thread.
Interesting edging is done in
three-color combination. Designs
are also lovely for curtains,
breakfast cloth and pillows. To
obtain complete crocheting in

bacon and beefsteak brought in
from the cellar, and the fish rolled
in corn meal, ready for frying.
By a quarter to 6 she was rat
tling the dumb-waiter, fuming at
people who thought only of their
bed and board. She herself lived
an ascetic life. Her breakfast con
sisted of a slice of toast and a cup
of salted water; her dinner, three
raw carrots and a baked potato;
her supper, a pint of milk and a
piece of pilot-bread.
She was as neat as a pin and,
incidentally, built almost like one.
Summer and winter alike, she
wore a black dress with long
sleeves and a high collar, and over
It a spotless white apron, (One
of these she washed every after
noon, together with her under
wear, her stockings and her. shoe
lacings.) Her roddish hair sor
rel, Benjamin, the stableman,
called itwas knotted deftly on
the top of her head. She always
smelled of Lennox soap.
Ada, the table girl, came next.
She had a brosd, shining face,
with a few freckles on it, brown
eyes and light brown hair which
she wore in a pompadour with
the aid of a wire framework. She
was quite a talker, specializing in
a long string of calamities which
always Involved members of her
immediate family.

she asked was an hour or two off
In the afternoon so t;-:t she could
study up on the LOVLnS' GUIDE
AND MANUAL which she kept
hidden behind the dinner plates.
It had a chapter on the Language
of Flowers, I remember, another
on Hulea for Handkerchief and
Postage Stamp, another on Eye
and Whip Flirtation, The book
always surprised me, since Ada
never flirted. Indeed she treated
every drummer as if l.e were an
uncle. This was a great relief )o
my mother.
"Now take 'no ,'M," he
would say.
TUT Ada had her i, Her
Ideal was an older ,.,! a gen
tleman, she emphasized, with a
white mustache. Preferably an
Englishman who dropped his h's.
There was no one in town who
approximated that description,
but she was content to wait,
meanwhile tolerating the atten
tions of Benjamin, the stableman.
; Benjamin was a Finn, big,
blond, and slow-speaking. He
didn't love horses, as my father
did he even used a whip some
times but ho had a way they re
sponded to. He could get more
work out of a horse than anyone,
yet ho seldom lamed one or
brought one in sweating.
His helper was Basil Googing,
generally referred to as "Boshy."
Boshy's solo qualification' for his
job seemed to be. that no .one. else
would hire him,, If we didn't, he
would be on the town, my father
told us, and you couldn't stand
by and see that happen to any
one. -(My father was always his
brother's keeper.)
We had no clerk. My father
had Intended to spend all his free
time In the office, but measles
and whooping cough were ram
pant. (Spring is always a great
time for babies, and there Is pneu
monia to watch out for.) So more
and more responsibility fell - upon
my mother.; Man-like, my . fa
ther did not object to her work
ing in the kitchen, but he winced
whenever, he saw her behind the
desk.
"To think that I should have
brought you to this." his expres
sion said.
