BY DORA READ QOOOALB.
WHET Mrs. Sylrcstcr Chtdwiek
built cottar at Palfrey and
IetrmiDl to apend her aummer
tbcra, aba had bo intention of atab
llhlnf hertelf in Isolated grandeur.
A "cry splendid-looking' woman she
was, with eoila of thick, gray hair,
fine, ruddy complexion, dark eye
brows and full, bright, brown eye.
With her tore handsome daughter
about her, ah inevitably suggested
tk old comparison of a full-blown
damask rote encircled by buds. 6 be
dressed richly, too, for her one son,
the spple of her eye, liked to see his
mother in fine, new clothes; but under
this distinguished and fitly adorned
exterior, sb carried one of the kind
est, least exacting, moat genial na
tures in the world.
Falfrey, though a plain, uncultured
community, in which pride and inde
pendenc luxuriated unchecked, fell
promptly under her spell, and forgot
t eye with suspicion the lady who
liked to accept friendly services as well
ss she did to render them.
While the house building waa In
progres she was frequently on the
ground, and became acquainted with
most of the men in the neighborhood,
all of the children, and a good part of
the wives. The young girls seldom
ventured upon the charmed territory,
at least while the owner was present;
her matronly, silk-clad figure, her
well-modulated voice and graceful,
confident gestures frightened the rus
tic young thing away. But not a frag
ment of information respecting the
family escsped their greedy ears, and
It was surprising to see of how much
fact atod Action they contrived to pos
es themselves.
In the course of time the house was
finished, and the Chadwick moved in.
It was then thrown open for three suc
cessive afternoons, and an informal
Invitation extended to everyone. The
bolder spirit chiefly well-seasoned
matrons ventured first. These hav
ing spread a reassuring report, the
hard-woFktng men folks and sharp
faced spinsters followed their lead,
while half-bold, half-bashful youths,
and maidens undergoing a kind of
blissful embsrrssament, formed the
main part of th company on the third
Mrs. Chsdwick' house was a revela
tion in itsolf. Her oldeot daughter,
All, possessed artistic abilty, Olivia,
th second, played and sang very well,
while Juliet, who was barely 13, had
wonderful powers as a mimic. Each
of tbe three entertained the guest in
her own way, with the most delight
ful' readinee and good humor; they
passed esk and ice cream, played with
the children, laughed off accident,
and when the visitors were gone,
though' th tongue buzzed merrily,
not a word was said that reflected un
kindly on eccentricities of costume or
infringement of etiquette. Everyone
of these young ladle had inherited
something of th mother's rooted
grace of character.
"Oh, dear? of, dear! how dreadful it
is to be poor!" cried Mary Fairchild,
on coming home fresh from the splen
dors of Amity Lodge, as the new house
was called.
"I don't see anything ao dreadful,"
remarked her brother Dick, philosoph
ically. He had been planting corn, and
wore overall and a jumper, and was
eating hoi doughnuts.
"You ought to look In the glass,
then," returned Mary, and went on,
quickly: "You'd change your mind, I
guess. If you could see their piano, and
splendid books, and walls just covered
with pictures, and the girls with real
tortoise-shell brushes -oh d
"Their hair is no prettier than yours.
If they do brush it with turtle-shells,"
said Dick, soothingly.
"5onsensI" replied his sister, with
an impatient shake of her rebellious
brown locks. "You ought to have seen
their brother, looking as If he'd come
straight out of a bandbox."
"I have seen him lot of times, and
he's sn uncommon good chap." re
sponded Dick, tbe imperturbable, be
ginning to whistle.
Mary Fairehild was not really poor,
except by comparison. Fhe lived In
a eosnfortable, though very old-fashioned,
house, her father being a dairy
farmer, vrhose name appeared in big
letters on the village milk wagon. lie
himself frequently appeared on the
front seat, which began to be a trial
to Msry. Mrs. Fairchild was an ad
mirable, judicious woman, with a gift
for quietly achieving her ends when
you were least expecting It, and the
yourr people, who were both pupllsin
the high sched, enjoyed a wholesome,
active life with a fair share of "advan
tages." Of course tbe Ctadvdcks- were not
Impendent upon Fslfrey for their so
ciety; they entertained a succession
cf what JuHet called "long-haired ar
tists, snd long-longued lawyers, and
their locg-suffering wive;" but they
mslntalced their cordial attitude to
wards tbe eouttry people, and Mary
toon became a favorite with tbem. At
first sb was invited to act as guide
In tbeir frequent excursions, for sbe
knew every crossroad and "view" for
to miles round; and she wss so bright
aad appreciative and full of resources
that it grew to be quit the thing to
"run down and getMary"if there were
(sblesux. or a boating party, or a set
cf tennis on foot.
"You are a true Ystket, Msry you
rsn tir yoor hand to anything," Mrs.
Chsdwick sed to say.

But towards the end of the season she
resolved, and axrnouneed to her family
srith due solemnity, that the ChaeV
wicks must all be invited to tea,
"Why, of course, have them her
whenever yon like," said her father,
with a man'a faruona disregard of de
tails. They were all gathered la the
sitting-room after evening prayers.
"It isn't so simple snd easy as Ton
reem to think," returned Mary, who
was anxious that the home circle
should be Impressed with the full se
riousness of tbe undertaking before,
she began. "They have everything,
and I do want them to think that we
live like civilized beings, at least, t
have the supper pretty well planned
In my mind, and we can get Katie
Foley to come over and wait on fable,
I guess. I've been to the Chadwick
eo many timer that Z krssvrsszz2
tt'a proper to have, and how to serve
the course and all that, and I can do
the cooking as well aa anyone. Of
course we shall have to have the table
In here"
"In here? Ilumbug!" Interrupted
Dick. "Why not have tea in tht
kitchen, as usual ? It's the pleasaateet
room in the bouse, big and airy and
comfort biff, especially in aummer,
when you don't cook there, anyway.
I say whst's good enough for ua "
"Oh, of course you'd ask Mrs. Chad
wick to eat bread and cold sausage
standing up In the pantry, I dare say,"
retorted Mary, whose temper was not
proof against opposition! "however, as
this is my party, not yours "
"And the lounge, and the sewing
machine, and grandma's work table,
and my desk will all have to be lugged
out into the shed, I suppose, and the
big table squeezed in 7" pursued Dick.
"Exactly; now do be quiet. I shall
take them up to my room when they
come," she went on to her mother, giv
ing Dick a decided eold shoulder. "It
looks ao nlee since I stained the floor
andnxedupadresslnftable. Then they
can amus themselves a little while in
the parlor while we get tea dished up
Kate la too stupid to be trusted with
anything."
"I'll amuse 'em, never you fear," put
In grandma, who was A remarkable old
lady and a great conversationalist.
"Goodness, grandma!" began Mary;
she caught her father's eye and went
on in A modified tone. "Of course I
mean you to come in, aad hope youll
enjoy yourself, but please don't go off
into one of your endless stories about
people and thlnga that they don't
know anything about. Remember
they're strangers here, and not ab
sorbingly interested in the Ilawkese
and the BllUngsea. Kow about the in
vitation, mother. I thought I'd have
written ones, in the third person:
Mrs. Fairchild presents ber compli
ment' -
Mr. Falrchfld, who had been listen-
lng quietly, pushed up her spectacles at
this suggestion.
That'd be silly," she said, with the
serene lack of emphasis which made
her speeches very effective. "You must
recollect, child, that all th trouble you
take won't make It scything out o'
the common to them. It's proper
enough, though, that it should come
from me, and 1 11 stop la there in sea
son to ask 'em down."
"Oh, very well, mother," replied
Mary, a little taken back by this un
expected conversance with the pro
prieties. "I shall have to fix up my
blue drees to wear, 1 appose," he
continued.
The following Thursday was the ap
pointed day, and Mrs. Fairchild, who
called on Monday, reported that the
ladiea "would come with pleasure."
Meanwhile new feature had developed
with surprising rapidity, until one
would have thought thst at least a
presidential visit or a wedding recep
tion was Impending.
"Seems to me it's all foolishness, her
turning things ups1ddown and want
ing me to wear my Sunday clo'ea,"
grumbled Mr. Fairchild In private, but
Mrs. Fairchild only replied: "Don't
you worry, William; all that young
folks need is a little regulating."
On Wedneadsy father went to mill
for a load of grist, whllemother placid
ly did her usual baking and "cleaning
up," leaving, as Mary gratefully ob
f erred, an immaculate field for to-morrow's
operations.
At four o'clock that young lady pat
on tbe striped percale and sat down to

glance up, she saw four well-known
figures, in dainty attire, approaching
tbe gate. Ebe turned white and then
red, and rushed to tbe kitchen, where
mother stood by the window sponging
coat.
"Mother, motherl" sb eried. "The
Chsdwick hsve mistaken th day, and
bere tbey are, and no tea or anything!
What on earth shall I do?"
"Where are they?" asked Mrs. Fair-
child, quickly.
"Just coming in. Oh, what aball we

Mary, distractedly.
I "III see to thst. Run along, child;

On reaching the parlor, Mary was
somewhat surprised to find grandma
ensconced there, company knitting In
hand. She remained discreetly quiet.
however, and conversation waa eddy
ing amiably aboaj the American pub-
lie school system, when a meteoric fig
ure shot serosa the front lawn, and an
excited but jovial boy's voice shouted:
"Mary I Mary I Come quick! The
pig ha geioutl"
"Oh, do let s go and help, and see the
fun anywsy," cried Juliet, starting up,
while an Irrepressible smil went
round. Poor Mary could do no less
than comply, fervently wishing mean
while that Trotters and all hi kin
were in the depths of the sea.
Back ana forth went the quarry,
with Dick in hot pursuit, dashing
through flower-beds, squeezing under
fences, and scattering poultry and
cabbages tn his mad career, while
Mary flourished a stick and Juliet
waved her handkerchief and cheered
on the competitors equally with her
smiles. After some ten minutes of
this inspiring race, piggy was finally
captured on the barn floor amid pro
digious squealings, and the girls re
tired from the scene, leaving Diek,
spent with exertion and laughter,
perched on the meal-barrel and mop
ping his brow with a piece of old bag
ging. Oh, what a lark! I wouldn't hare
missed it for anything!" declared
Juliet, nodding gayly to Mr. Fair
child, who at that moment drove Into
the yard with his load. "I do think a
farm is the most delightful place in
the world."
"Especially the menagerie," said
Mary, relaxing in aplte of herself.
A tbey went up tne steps tney neara
grandma holding forth, and found that
dear old lady launched upon the tale of
Andrew Jlawkea school-keeping ex

on her nose, and she waa-jislng ber

ing in a wosd now and then, and the
others listening with an . Interest

felgned. Mary, who had heard the story be
fore, wondered If it would ever end.
snd, apprehensive regarding siipper,
she went into the kitchen. Her moth
er passed her on her way to th par
lor, and after a three minutes' e hat-
as if nothing at sll was the matter
begged the guests, with reassuring
cheerfulness, to step out to tea.
There was one dreadful moment
when they passed on unmistakably
into the kitchen, but really the room
did not look so very bad, with its
broad, western windows, and spotless
table set out with grandma's raster-
band china, and yea, the usual thing,
one of mother's countrified, hetero
geneous spreads pistes of biscuit and
rye bread, pitchers of milk, cottage
cheeae, picked beets, baked apples,
spiced peaches, ham, eold chicken,
honey, doughnuts snd "snap" In
homely profusion. Alu. for the salad
and tbe pineapple ice for Little Foley
snd her waitress eap.
Father sslced a long blessing, stand
ing, as usual. Tie had on his second
beat eoat, and looked absent-mindedly
benevolent. Diek set by Juliet and
talked and joked, unburdened by cer
emony. Alloc begged permission to
sketch the fireplace snd photograph
the pump, while Olivia Invited sugges
tions for s hsrvest festival.
Towsrds the end of the meal, an old
hslf-witted neighbor came la to atk
mother tor a piece of soap, a news
paper and some tootbaohe drops, and
before leaving insisted on shaking
bands with tbe whole eompany. The
episode led to sn'antmsted discussion
of social problems, in which Mrs. Fair-
child's kindly common sense and moth
er-wit easily carried the day.
When the party adjourned to the
side porch and the big ysrd, Msrys
spirits bad risen with a sens that
the worst was over, and sh exerted
herself to be so gay, grselous and
charming that the Idiot and the run
away pig should be blotted from mem
ory. That she succeeded was proved
by tbe sprightly voices and peal of
laughter which shook the pendent
branches of the sweet-bough tree.
"I do hope youll Invite us sgain,"
observed Juliet, like soy spoiled child,
ts she tucked a loaf of brown bread
under her arm preparatory to say
ing good-by; "the people about here
are very pleasant, but their ideas of
entertaining are so exclusive."
"Mrs. Fairchild and I have lived long
enough to learn that true hospitality
lies In letting people share oar every
day Uvea; but like other beat things,
It's tbe rarest, and Fm afrsld the most
difficult," snd Mrs. Cbawwlck shook
bsndi with that simple wsrmth to
which her fin presence lent a peeullar
charm.
"Well, I don't see but thing were
very well enjoyed," laid Mr, Fairchild.
mildly, as he loosened his boots that
night; "but 'twas kind of odd their
making that mistake about th day,
now wsiu't it, mother?"
"You can't see through a atone wall
