Chapter 24
NEW HOME
EMILY came to the hospital twice
a day at first, and stayed an
hour each time; then gradually her
visits lengthened. Two weeks later
she had Edwin moved to her own
home, to the room that had been
hers. His happiness was almost too
great to bear.
She wrote to Charlotte as soon
as the die was cast, very briefly
and casually, because she didn't
dare let herselt go. But Charlotte
understood, and answered the let
tor at once.
Emily, darllnf:
The cards do seemed to be
tacked against you, and you're
probably doing the only thing pos
sible. The only thing for you, that
Is; I'm not so sure It would be for
mysslf, or for anyone else. But then
I can't imagine myself with any
man eating out his heart for me !
On one thing, though, I shall
never let you rest. Don't let It get
you: matrimony, I mean domes
ticity. Don't let your mind atrophy
(because you have got a mind,
Emily, and a darn good one). Re
member that the world Isn't bor
dered by a white picket fence.
I'm shipping your stuff and en
closing your pay-check. Frame the
check and put It In a prominent
place: let it be your ensign of
battle. And carry on!
I love you a great deal, infant,
Charlotte
The letter tilled her with an un
bearable yearning for Charlotte, for
the heartening Influence of Char
lotte, and the keenness of her mind
that was as stimulating as an elec
trlo Ttbrator. But she Questioned
the advice it contained.
The little house was sweet: a
New England cottage of white clap
board, with a white picket fence and
a flagstone walk and big fat box
woods at the door. There was to be
a garden at the back: so far Edwin
had gotten no farther than & pond
with gold and silver fish.
He hadn't offered It for sale after
all; It had been built for Emily,
and It seemed Incredible that Emily
wouldn't one day live In It with him.
Now his faith had been Justified,
and he moved in a roseate haze,
Emily worked frantically, because
the had learned In Birmingham that
It you worked very hard you were
usually too tired to think after you
went to bed.
She couldn't furnish the house
and plant her garden at the same
time, and while her heart was with
the garden, there was very little that
could be done with It until tali, so
ehe concentrated upon Immediate
necessities, such as chairs and tables
and rugs.
Frances dropped In often "to of
fer suggestions," secure in the con
viction that her wider experience
and maturer taste wore indispen
sable to the furnishings of Emily's
home. She dropped In this morning.
"I notice In the paper that Kalr
allah is having a marvelous sale of
Orientals," she announced.
EMILY was banging curtains. She
adjusted the folds of a drapery
and stepped back to consider the
effect "Is he?"
"Yes," Frances cocked her bird
like head. "The gathers are a little
thick under your right hand. I
thought we might go down tomor
row and see them."
Emily continued to arrange the
drapery. It was a sunny chintz, with
little Valentine bouquets on an ap-'ple-green
ground.
"But I'm not Interested in Orien
tals, darling. In the first place I
couldn't afford them, and In the sec
ond they don't go with a New Eng
land cottage."
"But you won't always live In a
cottage, and Orientals last a life
time. Besides, your father and I
wanted to help you get them."
Emily smiled at her. "Bless you
both!" She couldn't tell her mollier
that the frosty elegance of the Fel
ton home was Just what she wanted
to avoid.
"I'll got the cheaper ones now,
and by the time they're worn out
perhaps I'll be ready for the other
ones. Olve me a rain-check on
them."
"What are you planning to haver'
Frances's tone Implied thatwhatever
It was, It was probably Impractical.
"Plain taupe for the big ones, and
a tew small hooked ones where
they'll do the most good. Aunt
Mandy's making me some braided
ones for the bedrooms."
"Aunt Mandyl"
"Yes. I was over there one day
yeara aito for the laundry and she
was working on the cunnlngest rug

that It 1 ever bad a house she'd do
me some. She's tickled to death over
doing "em."
Francis came as near smiling as
It is possible for a perfect lady to
ciiue. "I hoped you'd have Browne
do your house Instead of picking up
thing bolterskelter as you're do
ing." Emily twinkled wickedly at her.
"Do you know why I didn't? Because
whenever you go Into one of his
houses someone always trills, "Oh,
I know Browne did this; It looks
exactly like him!' I don't want my
house to look like Browne's; I want
It to look like like Emily Barnes."
She stumbled over the last word.
Her mother shrugged delicately,
thereby disclaiming all responsibil
ity for the very probable gaucherles
of her daughter's completed home.
Emily came down from her perch to
survey the finished drapery.
The door-knocker sounded and
Emily sighed as she went to answer
It. There ought to be a law, she
thought rebelllously, against morn
ing callers.
The caller was her mother-in-law,
and Emily's heart sank. Mrs. Barnes
would never approve of the new
draperies; they didn't look "serv
iceable" enough. But she smiled
gaily.
"Come in. You're Just In time to
pass judgment."
MRS. BARNES looked gratified.
She was a plump, rather dowdy
little woman who bad "let herself
go" considerably more than Frances
Felton had, and prided herself upon
It.
In fact, Lucy Barnes prided her
self upon a great many things. Upon
the fact, for example, that Mr.
Barnes was her lord and master In
stead of her companion; that he told
her what to believe, and paid all the
household accounts because "women
had no head for figures"; that she
had completely forgiven Emily for
having behaved so disgracefully
towards Edwin; that sbe had her
clothes made at home because the
materials In ready-made dressea
were so shoddy nowadays.
"In time to pass Judgment on
what?" she asked brightly.
"The living-room d r a p e r 1 e s."
Emily led the way to the room.
Mrs. Barnes, having greeted Fran
ces with excessive cordiality, stood
back to observe the apple-green
chintzes, "Won't they fade?"
"No," Emily assured her. "They're
sunfast."
Mrs. Barnes looked disappointed.
Her own draperies were dark red
and had been in nee, with the ex
ception of the summer months, for
twelve years. In June they were
taken down and cleaned, and In Sep
tember they were put back. They
were very durable curtains.
"They're very bright and cheer
ful," she conceded.
"They're very well suited to this
type of house, I think," Frances
stated.
Emily wanted to laugh. Whatever
misgivings Frances might have
about her daughter's taste would
never be communicated to an out
sider. Frances also prided herself.
Mrs. Barnes sat down In the frail
est Heppelwhlte chair. "Don't let
ma stop you; I can only stay a
minute."
'I was through anyhow. I'm glad
of an excuse to stop."
Frances rose. "I must send Wil
liam for your father, so I'd better
go." She considered offering to
drop Mrs. Barnes at home and de
cided that It would savor too much
of speeding the parting guest.
Mr. Barnes didn't bellove In chauf
feurs, and during business hours,
Mrs. Barnes walked. "If you and
Edwin haven't any plans," she added,
I hope you ll come to dinner to
night" Emily sighed with relief. Her
maid had been out for two days and
she was rapidly coming to the con
clusion that her domestlo accom
plishments weren't meant to Include
cooking.
"We'll be charmod. In addition to
the company the Idea of eating food
I haven't prepared Is entrancing."
When Frances had gone Lucy
Barnes said resignedly: "I'd dropped
by to ask you to supper with us to
night, but of course we can't offer
the Inducements that Frances can."
Emily wanted very badly to kick
over a table, and was suddenly
ashamed of herselt. "I'm so sorry I
didn't know! And If you think you
haven't any Inducements, Just ex
tend another Invitation and see how
Quickly we accept It!"
She took her mother-in-law's
plump arm. "Come and see the chest
of drawers I had Turner do over for
me."
