bay-window fall of blossoming *
i)l an la; a bright firo glowing hehind
a burnished grate; a car not *
whose soft, velvet pile was shaaed I
iu blues and wood colors, to cor- 8
respond with the damask-covered
furniture; aud a little gilded clock, c
which had just struck nine at night
?all tlicse things met Mrs. Chick- J
orK-'c ovn n? h1i? laid down licr '
book, unci yawned as widely as her
ripe cherry of a mouth wonld admit.
Sho was a plump, tair-faced
matron of some fonr or five and
twenty, with bright auburn bair,
soft blue eyes, and ft complexion
whose rosos stood in need of no Artificial
rouge to hoightcn their
charms, while her dress of soft
crimson merino was exquisitely
adapted to her semi blonde style.
" Fanny," said Mr. Cbickcrly,
looking up from his newspaper,
" did yon call on those Carters today
?"
u No I never thought of it."
" And they leave town to-morrow
raorninr; and Carter is absurdly
sensitive to all slights, fancied
or real. Fanny, I desired
you to make a point of calling."
u Well, I did intend td, Frauk,"
pouted Mrs. Chickerlv, " but one
can't think of everything."
" You cannot, it seems."
" It appears to me that yon are
making a mountain out of a uaolo
hole," said J^anny, rather tartly.
" It may effect my business very
seriously. Carter's house carries
groat influence witb it."
Mrs. Cliickerly was silent, patting
the velvet carpet with her 8
foot in a manner that indicated .v
some annoyance.
441 shall have to leave here very r
early to morrow morning," said 0
her husband, presently.

u yw? t
44 Oh, I wouldn't Frank."
44-Why not |? /v j
44 It's such bitter cold weather to c
travel in : and Aunt Elizabeth is
such a whimsical old woman, it's ?
as likely as not that shell change J
her mind abont making a will 8
when yon get there. I wonld wait
a little, if f were you."
Mr. Cbickerly smiled. ]
44 That would be your system of
doing things, Fanny, but not .
minn." t
M My system, Frank! What do 1
yon mean !* ? a
441 mean that yon believe In
patting thing* off indefinitely, and ,
not always in the wisest manner.
I wish you'd break yourself of thai

some day bring you to grief.** '* J

To Plant Irish Potatoes?Mr. ct
Editor: In reply to yonr private
correspondent, wanting to know w
how 7 plant Irish Potatoes to make or
? T 1J - - Tl.?
a ucviu iu X WUUIU bliUU : 1
select sock potatoes as are abont
to, or have sprouted. If only one p]
eye showt signs of germinating, 1 U1
plant the whole potatoe; ii two tc
eyes, I cut it. It seems to me unnecessary
to expose potatoes of
this kind to the air. "When these 4y
cannot bo procured, select such as
appear to be fully matured and Wl
ripest, expose them to tho air in
the shade from two to four weeks, w
until they become somewhat shriv- dc
elled, and plant whole. Even this he
Elan will not secure a full standj di
nt cnongh will come to far more
than repay you for the labor bestowed.
>V hen potatoes are plant- u
ed late in the season, it is essential ?
to have the earliest varieties that w;
can be procured. I have examined
