Prudence and Fairy enter­
tain the good ladies of
the congregation and the
result is rather d is a s ­
trous for Prudence.
Mr. Starr, a widower Method­
ist minister, has been assigned
to the congregation at Mount
Mark, Iowa. He and hi* daugh­
ter Prudence— the Is nineteen
and the eldest of five girls—
have come on ahead to get the
new parsonage ready for the
younger members of the family.
The whole town, especially the
Methodist element, is very curi­
ous about the strangers, and in­
dividually members of the
church call at the parsonage and
"pump" the girls for all they’re
worth. But the Starrs soon ad-
just themselves to their new
surroundings—and after much
preparation, Prudence and Fairy
are going to entertain the La­
dies’ Aid society. Some of the
members are arriving now.
I dusting it. Fairy—but never mind. You
may go uow, Carol. It Is all right.”
Then she apologized gently to the
j Ladies, and the conversation went on,
but Prudence was uncomfortably con-
I scious of keen and quizzical eyes

Evidently they
| thought she was too lenient.
“Well, It wasn't very naughty," she
thought wretchedly. “How can I pre-
j tend It was terribly bad, when I feel
in my heart that it wasn't!”
The meeting progressed, and the
business was presently disposed of.
So far, things were not too seriously
bad, and Prudence sighed in great re­
lief. Then the Ladies took out their
sewing, and began industriously work­
ing at many articles, designed for the
clothing of a lot of young Methodists
I confined in an orphans’ home in Chi-
I cago. And they talked together pleas
antly and gayly. And Prudence and
l Fairy felt thut the cloud was lifted.
But soon it settled again, dark and
j lowering. Prudence heard Lark run­
ning through the hall and her soul mis
gave her. Why was Lark going up
stuirs? To be sure, her mission might
be lnnoceat, but Prudence dared not
run the risk. Fortunately she was sit­
ting near the door..
"L a rk !” she ealled softly. Lark
stopped abruptly, and something fell
to the floor.
“L ark!’’
The Ladies smiled, and Sliss Carr,
laughing lightly, said. "She Is an atten­
tive creature, Isn’t she?”
I’rudence would gladly have flown
out Into the hall to settle this matter,
but she realized that she was on exhi­
bition. Had she done so, the Ladles
would have set her down forever ufter
as thoroughly incompetent—she could
not go! But Lark must come to her.
"L ark!” This was Prudence's most
awful voice, and Lark was bound to
heed.
“Oh, Prue,” she said plaintively, “I'll
be there In a minute. Can't you wait
Just five minutes? Lot me run up­
stairs first, won’t you? Then I'll come
gladly! Won't that do?”
Her voice was hopeful. But Pru­
dence replied with dangerous calm:
“Come at once. Lark.”
"All right, then,” and added threat­
eningly, "but you'll wish I hadn't.”
Then Lark opened the door—a woe­
ful figure! In one hand she carried an
empty shoe box. And her face was

mud, I am sure. I am sorry you look
so disreputable. You must change
your shoes and stockings at once, and
then you can go on with your model­
ing. But there must be no more push­
ing and chasing. I'll see Connie about
thut toalgbt. Now go.” And Lark waa
swift to avail herself of the permission.
Followed a quiet hour, and then the
Ladies put aside their sewing and
walked about the room, chatting In
little groups. With a significant glance
to Fairy, I’rudence walked calmly to
the double doors between the dining
room aud the sitting room. The eyes
of the Ladles followed her with Inter­
est, and even enthusiasm. They were
hungry. I’rudence slowly opened wide
the doors, und—stood amazed ! The
Ladies clustered about her, and stood
amazed also. The dining room was
there, and the table! But the appear­
ance of the place was vustly different I
The snowy cloth was draped artls-
ically over a picture on the wall, the
■ west edges well above the floor. The
,dates and trays, napkin-covered, were
-afely stowed awuy on the floor In dis­
tant corners. The kitchen scrub buck­
et had been brought In and turned up-
•dde down, to ufford n fitting resting
place for the borrowed punch bowl,
full to overflowing with fragrant lem­
onade.
And at the table were three dirty,
disheveled little figures, bending seri­
ously over piles of mud. A not-unree-
ognizable Venus de Milo occupied the
center of the table. Connie was pains­
takingly at work on some animal, a
dog perhaps, or possibly an elephant
And—
The three young modelers looked up
lu exclamatory «..msternatlon as the
doors opened.
“Oh, are you ready?” cried Carol.
"I low time has flown ! We had no Idea
you'd be ready so soon. Oh, we are
sorry. Prudence. We intended to have
everything fixed properly for you again.
We needed a flat place for our model­
ing. It's a shame, that's what It is.
Isn't that a handsome Venus? I did
th a t!—If you’ll just shut the door one
minute, I’rudence, we'll have every­
thing exactly as you left It. And we’re
as sorry as we can be. You can have
my Venus for a centerpiece. If you
like.”
Prudence silently closed the doors,
and the I-ndles, laughiug significantly,
drew away.
“Don’t you think, my dear.” began
Mrs. Prentiss too sweetly, “that they
| are a little more than you can manage?
Don’t you really think an older woman
is needed?”
“I do not think so,” cried Fairy, be­
fore her sister could speak, “no older
woman could be kinder, or sweeter, or
more patient and helpful than Prue.”
"Undoubtedly true! But something
more Is needed, I am afraid! It ap­
pears that girls are a little more dis­
orderly thnn In my own young days!
