What the link was which drew these two women together, they, themselves, had never quite decided. Mrs. Smith was a newly married woman, some- thing over “sweet sixteen,” and brim- ming over with the spirit of youth. “It must be your experience air of sweet motherls love which draws me to you,” she would often remark to Mrs. White. The latter would shake her head and answer: “No, it can't be that, for I'm many times ‘sixteen’ and have lost the ‘sweet'entirely. On this particular morning Mrs. White called really impatiently to he; neighbor, as if she was “boiling over spoil if she didn't dispose of it at onee. . Finally Mrs. Smith appeared on her porch with her hair all done up in curl papers. Dear, dear, what has happened that ou are calliing to me at this un- earthiy ? 1 haven't eaten a bite of breakfast yei, and if vour tale 18 too startiing, perhaps I would be unwise to listen to it on an empty ston.cch.” Mrs. Smith declared, with one of her iclly laughs. ow, don’t vou jolly this old lady oo hard,” answered Mrs. White, “for 1 might get like the mule and back off without telling my tale of woe.” You know I can hardly wait to hear it,” added’ Mrs. Smith, “so out with it’ before tne suspense kills me. Well,” continued Mrs. White, ad- jisting her mold-bowed spectacles so as to look her neighbor directly in the eve: “it's this way Ay nephew. who arrived in town last ‘week, sent word for me to be ready this noou to take a ride with him in his automobile. I'm as pleased as a young girl over the invitation. Zor, as old as I am, I've always craved for' one ride in one of those machines. It's foolish, I know, for o sensible Woman of my age to indulge in suc youthful fancies, and T must stop it.” And she gave a deep sigh as if her thoughts beiied the words she had ut- " put in Mri nds for joy 0,” answered Mrs. White see how I can go.

Next winter when vour family is enjoving the results of that me'er- to-be-forgoiten day of canning, will have in your mind a picture of a motherly iittle woman seated beside her nephew In his auto, spinning through parks and suburbs: drinkinz in the fresh breezes and feeling like she was ‘sweet sixieen. " “Here Mrs. White ventured to add a few words. ‘Well, my dear, you surely have put some of your spirit of youth into m: veins.

My thoughts went back to m sirlhood days, when father and I went riding cver hills and valleys in (he oid family carriage. Mrs. Whits paused and rocked bac ana forth in her old-fashioned rocker, thinking of those days, “away back in old Connecticut.” Then she be- gan_once more: ‘And to think youre the ome (you, who are thirty years my junior), who made me see that | could go on that little trip—which seemed big to me— and I shall always remember it of you; remember with joy your buck- Dporch lecture, given on an empty stom- ack, and which I surely deserved.

It ought to encourage our story writers to do their best. Glenwood certainly deserves our sympathy, and as this is Hallowe'en wouldn't it be nice if we could all go in and surprise her with a can of fruit from our own sheives. After greet- ings were exchanged we would listen to_the Soctal Corner quartette. Now I am golng to teli the Sisters how to make something dainty and in- expensive for a friend at Christmas time. It is A Cover and Mats for the Dresser Purchase enough cream linen scrim satin ribon one inch wide of an ferred color to make a cover and one scuare mat. Cut the mats or scarf of the size desired, aliowing one and one- half inches extra all around for a hem. Draw five threads three the edge; this is for the hemstitching on tho hem. eighths of an Inch in from this draw threads to the width of the ribbon purchased; turn = and threads at one tine, Cut lengths of ribbon the length and width of the mat after the hem is turned and fringe the riobon to the depth of the hem.
