Molly promised to furnish her share and to keep down her Butternut tend encies. and everything went smoothly except for Abijab.

He was on his way to pay a call on Melissa Bray ami was too tressed up to take tiny violent exercise. Abijab Hopkins was the beau of Goshen and a rank abolitionist. He weut lo Cincinnati almost every month and lienee was an authority on fashion, as his costume of that afternoon show ed. He wore a long tailed blue coat, made with full skirts. Utting closely in the back. Under the coat was a dow ered velvet waistcoat, fastened with bulletlike pearl buttons. His dove col ored trousers were skin tight, with a black stripe up the side seam uud held down by a strap passing under the foot His shirt was “store bought,” and lie wore a High pa|>er collar and a tie made of small colored beads woven into a ribbon with infinite pains, the work of Melissa, as was also the snaky looklug watch guard, manufactured from her own hair. Abijab was proud of the tie and the guard. Personally lie was not handsome. It might lie said that his hands were too large and too red and too freckled uud hung, like lehabod Crane’s, “a mile be low tils coat sleeves.” His face was red, too, a shade brighter than bls hair, which was parted far to the left in front and "roacbed” toward the right in a high, sweeping billow. In the back It was parted in the middle and brushed away from the medial line to either side, where It met the front hair In Tittle duck tails Just behind ids ears. And ills whole head was redolent witli hair oil. Abljali was a "stay at home ranger.” He hadn't enlisted and bad escaped the draft. Though be was the only young man left In Goshen, be was not in demand by the girls, as might be supposed. Few people had any re spect for "stay at home rangers,” and when Melissa began to go to singing "ItTij/, litjah," she said, "I’m jest that glad to see you!" school and spelling lines with Abljali people began to lose respect for her mous mass of liair—her own and an too.
