She looked at her aunt in amaze- ment, for Mrs, Pell was a millionaire; then, thinking better of her impulse to voice an indignant protest, Iris got @ato the car. Immediately, she saw a Gollar bill on the seat beside her and inew that was for the ocon- tribution plate, and the penny was a Joke of ber aunt's. For Ursula Pell had a queer twist tm her fertile old brain that made her enjoy the temporary discomfiture of ber fricnds, whenever she was able to bring it about. To see any one chagrined, non-plussed, or made sud- denly to feel ridiculous, was to Mrs, Pell an occasion of sheer delight. Members of Mrs. Pell’s household t up with these because if they dn’t they automatically ceased to be members of Mrs. Pell's household, ‘One member had made this change. & nephew, Winston Bannard, had resented his aunt's gift of a trick cigar, which blew up and sent fine sawdust into his eyes and nose, and her follow-up of @ box of perfectos was insuMcient to keep him longer in the uncertain atmosphere of ber otherwise pleasant country home, And now, Iris Clyde had announced her intention of leaving the old roof also.

No mummers’ masks have comfortable though not elaborate “Here's companionable and easy to live with, Iris would have curbed her his- trionic ambitions. Nor is it beyond the possibilities that Iris chose the despised profession because she knew it would enrage her aunt to think of a Clyde going into the depths of ignominy whioh the stage represent- @d_to Mrs. Pell. For Iris Clyde at twenty-two had quite as strong a will and inflexible a determination as her aunt at sixty- two, and though they oftenest ran parallel, yet when they criss-crossed, neither was ready to yield the frac- tion of a point for the sake of peace in the family. One cook left because of a tiny mouse imprisoned in her workbasket; one first class gardener couldn't stand a scarecrow made in a ridicu- lous caricature of himself; and one small scullery maid objected to unex- pected and startling “Boos!” from dark corners. But servants could al- ways be replaced, and so, for that matter, could relatives, for Mrs, Peli had many kinsfolk, and her wealth would prove a strong magnet to most of them. After the automobile bearing the girl had disappeared down the road Ursula Pell sat on her veranda quite thin contentedly gazing over the land- scape and thinking about her multi- tudinous affal; “An actre: she ruminated, “my little Iris an actress!
