Then as the Jar stands in Vic's and mi den (she calls it her den, but It has to be part mine, as I have no other), I was going In by one of the long windows when I heard mother's voice. "The question is," shei yas saying, "what's to be done with petty?" I turned arouud and ran away on my jii.tnH across the lawn, for 1 didn't want to be an eavesdropper, and It would be nearly as bad to have mother know I had beard even those rew words.

I was wondering hard when mother had formed that flattering opinion. A fortnight ago I beard her an nounce that Americans "got uixm her nerves," and she hoped she would not soon be called upon to meet anj' more As she had made this remark directly afb?r bidding Mrs. Ess Kay goodby. I I naturally supposed that lady to be the Immediate cause for It But now it seemed this was not the case. "You would be very ungrate.'ul if you disliked her," mother went on. "as she took such a tremendous fancy to you." "bear me, I didn't know that!" I xclalmed, opening my eyes wide "I thought It-was Vic she" "You are her favorite, as you are v iih MI.ss Woodbuni also." said mother, who gets the effect of being io tremendously dlgnllled, parlly. I be lieve, from never clipping her cords ::s the rest of us do. "I am l:lug iliem down again esjiechilly on your scrotiiit. and I want you to le particu larly nice to them." "It's easy enough to lie nice to Sully W'rioilburn, but" I caught a look from Vic and brok jtt my sentence, hurrying to change It into another. "As they're sailing for he States so soon, I shan't have time spread myself much." "Ion't be slangy, Betty, It doesn't uit you." said mother. "You pick up :o'i many things from Sianforth." "Trust him not to drop anything v.orth having." Interpolated Vic, which was pert. But mother never reproves l"!

Bhe was probably right, anyhow so far as Mrs. Ess Kay Is concerned. Aa for Sally -Woodburn, I don't think she baa a drop of snobbish blood tn ber veins. She's southern not South American; as 1 was stupid enough to think at first, but from some southern state or other.

"Mother, I haven't a thing the mat ter with me. and I haven't grown the eighth of an inch this whole last year. You can s?e I y my frocks." I protest ed, more on principle than because It would be of anj- use to protest or be cause I was sure mother wanted to change her mind. Naturally the pro test had no effect, but mother's mood mercifully remained placid and sbe didn't give me a single freezing look. "Mrs. Stuy vesant-Kuoi ls a woman of good family and position In ber own country. " she went calmly on. "I have satisfied myself on those points beyond doubt or I should not dream of allow Ing you to be her guest. She has a cottage at Newport and will lake you there, as summer.

If not yours In particular, will you be- a nice white woolly lamb and go with your kind little American friends?" Vie broke In, with her head on my shoul der and an arm slipped around my waist. "Mr. Kss Kay's neither little uor kind." said I, "but of course I'll do anything to help If only I'm treated like a rational, grownup human be ing."
