Phil Henderson's house?" "I could do it, sah, ef I had de time." "If you had the time!" said the man. "Yas, sah, ef I had de time. Been rainin' er good 'eal lately an' I couldn' work much, an' now, datl has got at hit, w'y I hatter make de licks count." "That's a strange idea. How long would it take you to tell me ?" "Wall, sah, it'sdis way wid me: I kin talk all along in de sociable widout no trouble, jes' like I am er talkin' ter you right now, but ez soon ezlginter give d'reckshuns ter er place, w'y I git ter stutter! n'an'it takes er powerful long time fur me ter git through, an' er gin I does git through, I has got sich er start that I lain' stop, an' long atter de man is dun gone I stan's dar a talkin' an' er losin' ray mighty valuable time." "1 never heard of anything like that before," said the man. "No, sah, I reckon not, an' de doctors demse'fs say dat it is mighty cu'is." "Try it now and see if you can't tell me." "Dar ain't no use'n tryin' it, sah, 'caze I knows my 'fermity. Like mighty well ter 'blige you, but den I's got er wife an' Chilian ober yander in de cabin an' ef I doan work, w'y da's gwine to suffer, sho\" "You can talk all right in a sociable way, can you ?" "Oh, I am ez fine ez a fiddle den. Nobody kin beat n\e in de sociable. Folks comes fur miles ah' miles ter yere me talk in de sociable, but da doan ax me ter gin i 'em de d'reckshuns ter er place.' "Well, is there not some way by which i we could turn the giving of directions into a sociable talk?" < - Lemme see. I wonders now ef dat i fack couldn't be done ? Oh, yas, I's got it -i now?jes happen terricolleck dat dar ain't j nothin' dat mecks me feel so sociable ez er few dimes?say twenty-fl' cents." I "All right, here is a quarter. Now, which way must I go?" "Wait er minit," said the old negro, < taking the money. "I haster sorter feel i my way er long, fur dis is er sort o' spiryment after all." He looked up and down the fence, wiped his mouth, pulled out his upper lip and worked it round and then said: "I 'gratulates you, sab, dat this i un'ertakin' is gwine ter be er success. Go right down dar ter de eend o' de fence an' take de leff han' road?hoi' on, sah. You kin see de house frum yere. Yander it is ober on de hill." i WAS TOO* POLITE. The car was crowded. A slim girl got on at -Illinois street, and several slim fel lows bounce3~TJ|> and offered'ttreTTSeats. At Chicago avenue a fat woman got on, but no fat man bounced up to give her a seat. There sat, in the forward corner, a i man that had come either from Egypt or southern Indiana, and when he saw the fat woman he got up and said: "Here, mizzes, take this seat." The woman waddled forward, thanked < him and sat down. He caught hold of a strap, looked at her for a few moments, and then, speaking so loud that every one could hear, remarked : i "I notice that thar ain't many polite fellers in this town." "Not very many," the woman assented. , "I ain't so very polite myse'f," he went on. "Down our way they think I'm put- , ty tolerable rough at times." { "I think you are very polite," the woman replied. "Mignty glad to hear you say so; always , like to know that my little efforts find appreciation. I've done er good many mean J things, I reckon, but there's one thing , I won't do if I can help it, and I mighty nigh alwayscan, an'that's this: I never , let a great, big, fat woman stand up." The woman glared at him. "No, I don't," , he went on, "I jest won't do it. My wife ! is a awful fat woman?not as fat as you j are, but putty tolerable fat. I can gi ve you , a pointer." The woman, with more agility than she had doubtless shown for some time, sprang i to her feet and exclaimed: "I won't have your seat, sir!" ( "Jest as welcome to it as not, I tell you. ( I don't want to see you stand up, for I know that when my wife has to stand up it mighty nigh kills her, an' she ain't as fat as you are, nuther. Got shoulders mighty like yourn, but still she ain't so fat." , "I want you to shut your mouth 1" the ( woman screamed. "Who, me?" he asked in surprise. , "W'y, I'm your friend, mizzes. What, you going to get off? I am mighty sorry that I have disappointed you. Sometimes it don't pay to be polite," he added, when the disgusted woman had left the car, "an' , I reckon that is one of the things a feller , has to guard against in a town like this." TOLD HIM. "Yes, I had a conversation once with General Forrest," said a citizen of Ar- ! kansaw, in reply to a question asked by a friend. "I had just joined the army, and, knew nothing of the rigid fashions of war. i One night, after we had traveled all day, we stopped in the woods and were told that ; we would remain there until morning, j We were all wondering where we were going. I did not think it was right to keep us in the dark, and I made a remark to that effect. j "Why don't you go and ask Forrest?' 1 tome one remarked. i 4 44I am notacquainted with him,' I said. 44 'That makes no difference.' 44 'That's so.' i 44 'Not a bit. He would be glad to see | you. I would ask him but I borrowed a , couple of dollars from him the other day, , and as I have not been able to repay him, j I have been keeping out of his way.' , 44I found Forrest sitting under a tree on j a camp stool, closely drawn up to an im- i provised table. j 44 'Good evening,' said I.' , "He looked up, searched me with his ] peculiar eyes and said: , 44 'What do you want?' 44 'My name is Dick Anderson.' 44 'All right.' J 44 4I belong to your command. We have i been riding all day without knowing where we were going, so I thought I'd j come around and ask you.' it t vtAWIt W?n/1 J QAl/1 Vl A x uu arc vcijr xtiuu, oaiu I "'Not at all,' I replied. , " 'Now, Anderson, I do not mind telling you confidentially, but I do not want the whole command to know it.' " 'That's all right, general, I won't tell ; anybody.' " 'Won't say a word ?' ; "No, sir.' " 'You must not, you know, for the enemy might get hold of it.' Lean over here and let me w hisper to you.' I leaned over and he whispered: 'We are going to hell.' Well, sir, I hurried away, and j I'll pledge you my word and honor, if, by ten o'clock the next day, I didn't think we had already got there. That was the only conversation I ever had with General Forrest." _ HARDENING THE BRAIN. While we were waiting at the depot, in a small town in Arkansas, a colored 1 woman came up and asked if any one of the six white men was a doctor. One of 1 them proved to be, and she rolled her check apron in her hands in a fussy way and asked if he wouldn't "jist step ober to 1 de cabin an' see what ailed her ole roan." He found that he had time, and said he would go, and two or three of us went along to see what we could see. As we drew near the cabin the woman halted us 1 and said: "I'ze bin all de doctah he's had, and' I'ze willin' to allow dat I might her made some mistakes. When he was fust tooken I gin him turnip seed tea. Was dat right, doctah?" "I guess so." "Later on I changed to a poultice of wild onions. Was dat right ?" "It might have been." "Den I soaked his feet in hot water wid \ wood ashes in it, an' put a mustard poultice on de back of his neck." "Yes." "Den he allowed he felt wuss, an' so I changed de mustard an' soaked his head. I He dun complained all the mawnin' an' now Ize got mustard on his feet, a poultice on he middle, horse radish on his neck, an' he takin sassafras tea to warm ' up de inside." "Well!? "Wall, if dere's been any mistake, doan' let on to de ole man. Just skip it ober." We went in and the doctor examined the patient and found he had a broken rib, and told him what to do for it. As we left the cabin the woman followed us out and exclaimed: "Fo' de Lawd, doctah, but what blessin' 1 dat you dun come along!

A worn out shoe is not possible of renova- ' tion ; no amount of skill will make it pass t asnew. The only possible way to save the j shoe-leather is to care properly for the i shoes while wearing them. A writer in * the Brooklyn Eagle makes some very wise ? suggestions about the proper care of shoes: 1 "Particular attention should be paid, in I every home, to the care of shoes. Where < there are children there is generally an ' accumulation of shoes partly worn and wholly worn, and these are all thrown in 1 the bottom of the closet together and must I be assorted when wanted. When taken * out they are sometimes moldy, because < they are thrown in when damp and dirty. Many of these are of no earthly use to their possessors, but are hoarded up with theideathatsomeday they will be needed ; yet rarely is this tjue, as they are put away in such a rough condition that when taken out they aregenerally unfit for use. Shoes , that are worn regularly, if cared for, will * last longer than if neglected. A French kid shoe, if kicked around on the close floor or under the bed, will not last as ( long or look as well as one inferior in * quality if properly cared for. When shoes are taken off they should be wiped with a soft cloth, and after airing a little while, 1 oiled or polished and put in a box by ] themselves, or a shoe-bag, and when J wanted for use can be taken out ready for 9 wear. It is not advisable to use much of 9 the dressing so fashionable for ladies' and i children's shoes, as most of them crack the i leather and ruin it. I have seen expen- 9 sive shoes, the tops all cracked open in ' less than a month by the use ot shoe 1 dressing; therefore, unless you can find ( one that has been tested, it is better to use 1 a little sweet oil colored with black ink 1 and rubbed well in. For some years past 1 I have used a polish that has considerable } glycerine in it, and found that it preserves 1 the shoes wonderfully, always keeping c them new looking. If a lift begins to wear 8 off the heel, I have it attended to at once, r and never take off the shoes without wip- r ing all the dust from the crevices and 1 putting them carefully away. The result is I have worn one pair of boots every day c for one year, and another year for a house 8 9hoe. I have a pair of boots that were v made to order, for which I paid $8. I have ? worn tbem every day for two winters, or c rather from October to May, and shall v wear them another, and perhaps two sea- [ 3ons more. In the spring I rub them with 1 oil and put them away carefully, and in r the fall they look as _gpod as new-. Neve?* * wear a sJkop-tfifDuttoned, if you care to y have it snapeiy. jwever pui weisnoes io the fire to dry, as it hardens them and 1 makes them difficult to put on. When * taken off the foot wet, smooth into as good j shape as possible and rub them as dry as 1 you can with an old soft cloth, then put 8 them in a medium place to dry. If your 1 shoes get muddy, wash them off with cold 8 water and rub dry with a soft cloth. This * can be done quickly, so that the leather may not get wet through, then pull into 8 shape aDd leave standing until quite dry. 1 After this use a little good polish and the ^ shoes will be as fresh as if quite new." , t . a Rules in Case of Fire.?In case of f either a chimney or a room catching fire, ? the first thing to be thought 01 is to ex- ~ elude all draughts, for it is certain that the | slightest current of air will increase the force of the fire. All the doors and windows should be 3hut at once, and if the chimney be on fire, a wet blanket should be immediately fastened to the top of the mantelpiece, so as to exclude all draughts from the openings of the chimney, and entirely cover the grate, shutting the trap first, if possible. This will, in most cases, make the fire go out itself. You may throw into the grate a few handfuls of salt. Water should never be thrown down from above, as it 3poiIs the carpet and furniture unnecessaIf the window or bed-curtains catch fire, beat them with the thickest woolen garment you can lay your hands upon. Window-curtains can, in most cases, be torn down with a violent jerk, and this will prevent the flames from extending to the wood-work of the windows. In escaping from a burning house or room, remember that the air nearest the floor is clearer than any, and go on your hands and knees at once. A wet cloth tied over the mouth and nose keeps out the smoke, will help the breathing, and prevent suffocation if too much oppressed. A wet blanket, or even a dry one speedily used, will extinguish many a small conflagration?such, for instance, as an upset lamp, by excluding the air, and will be far more efficacious than water thrown for that purpose; its use also prevents damage to furniture. When an alarm of fire is given, if in bed, wrap yourself in a blanket, which will form the best protection for you from the chance of ignition, and endeavor to remember the different exits from the house, where they are and how to reach them; if you cannot attain to any of them, try to get to a front room as near the ground as possible. How Horses Learn Tricks.?1"Hor- 1 3es." savs Professor Georze Bartholomew. "are a good deal like men; you can train them to do pretty much what you want. Nature doesn't seem to have meant for them to do much talking, but I believe their capacities in other respects are probably far in excess of anything we have yet conceived. And the methods of training are very similar. You can't force a horse into learning a thing any more than you can a man. Affection is at the root of successful teaching in both cases. When I buy a horse and begin to train him, my first step is to win his confidence. Till I accomplish that I can do nothing with him. Then I begin to teach him a simple act. To make him lift his foot on a pedestal, for instance, I would place a pedestal in front of him and touch him gently on a sensitive part of the knee, at the same time constantly repeating some word expressive of the act I wanted him to perform. Of course the horse doesn't know what the word means, and he probably does half a dozen wrong things before he does the right one. The moment he does it, however, I hold the foot there, fondle it, and show my approval in every way possible. This is repeated so many times a day till the horse gets to know what is wanted whenever he hears the word. So with the more difficult acts. Some of them take a long time to learn. It took me nearly two years' patient work to teach Abdallah to walk, trot, march or pace backward at a single word of command, but the way he does it now repays me for all the trouble.?[Massachusetts Plowman. Pure Water for Horses.?If the importance connected with furnishing pure water for horses was fully understood, we have no doubt but that many farmers would provide better means for watering their horses than they now have. Many diseases which horses are subject to are the result of drinking impure water. The owner of a large stable in New York city began some time since to filter the water for his horses, and states that since doing bo the cases of colic have decreased seventy-five per cent. Pure spring and well water do not need to be filtered, of course, but where horses are watered from ponds, or pools, or streams which are liable to become stagnant or anywise polluted, some piuviaiuu suuuiu uc luauc IU puiii^ uic j water before the animals are allowed to drink it. A cheap filter could be made that need cost but little except what labor is put upon it. Take a good sized barrel and fill it with charcoal, coarsely ground, placing brush and gravel in it to keep the charcoal in position. If the water is allowed to run through a barrel filled in this manner, it will be even purer than the spring water. It is recommended that sulphur be put into the charcoal. This is said to give the water a medicinal quality which is very valuable in keeping horses in good condition.?[Southern Cultivator. Hoo Cholera.? Mr. C. E. Ford, of Texas, says: I see in the issue of Farm and Home for October a cure for chicken cholera. It is the same I have used for twenty-two years for hog cholera, only prepared differently. I give my hogs one good feed of corn each year, boiled in poke root (Phytolacca decandra), in the proportion of one-fourth a bushel of poke root to three-fourths of a bushel of corn, boiled from one to two hours. Then take out the poke root and corn, and to the liquor or water add corn meal to make a mush. Give one good feed to the hogs. If fed in large quantities it will make the animals Bhed all their hair. I think this recipe is good medicine for a hog that is sickly or Btunted in its growth. I have never lost a hog by cholera in all my^experience of twenty-two years. ? ^UsccUaucoMS fading.

Dr. Daniel March, who has been traveling extensively in oriental countries, >ays: I saw advertisements for the sale of the Waterbury watch filling whole columns in newspapers and large spaces on the outer vails of buildings in all the great cities ol mdia. I heard the hum of the American tewing machine in the byways and broad itreets of Bombay and Calcutta and Rangoon. I saw American lamps for burning American petroleum hawked about the treets on wheelbarrows, for sale in Yokolama and Toyko and Shanghai. I heard he clatter of the American typewriter in Jhefu and Tientsin, and Swatow and Aintab. I heard American dentistry )raised as the best in the world, and I raveled with an American dentist who vas on his way to practice his profession n the City of Pekin. I afterwards revived his printed circular announcing his irrival in the great imperial city, and his eadiness to extract the molars of mandains or fill the cavities of Confucianists in he most approved style of American art. I was glad when I saw American tramars running in the streets of Tokyo, tnd the American wind-mill pumping vater on the Bluffs of Yokohama.

Flag Lore.?To "strike a flag" is tc ower the national colors in token of submission. Flags are used as symbols of rank and :ommand, the officers using them being jailed flag officers. Such flags are square 0 distinguish them from other banners. "A "flag of truce" is a white flag displayed to an enemy to indicate a desire bra parley or consultation. The white flag is a sign of peace. After 1 battle, parties of both sides often go out ;o the field to rescue the wounded or bury he dead under the protection of a white lag. The red flag is a sign of defiance, and is )ften used by revolutionists. In our service it is a mark of danger, and shows a /essel to be receiving or discharging hei x>wder. The black flag is a sign of piracy. The yellow flag shows a vessel to be it quarantine, or is the sign ofa contagious lisease. A flag at half-mast means mourning Pishing and other vessels return with a lag at half-mast to announce the loss or ieath of some of the men. Dipping the flag is lowering it slightly md then hoisting it again to salute a ves ;el or fort. If the president of the United States joes afloat the American flag is carried in he bows of his barge or hoisted at the main of the vessel on board of which he s.?[Journal of Education.

Communication was not entire y Interrupted, and signals could be ex . hanged by the telegraph clerks at both mds. The "flaw" was localized by suita fle tests, and the Western and Braziliar relegraph Companies, who own the ca fles, despatched their repairing steamer ;he Viking, to grapple for the cable at thai spot. On September 17th, while picking lp the line in fifty-seven fathoms of water it a point about seventy miles north oi Santa Catharioa, the body of a dead whale ?ame up entangled in its coils. The car ;ass appeared to be about fifty feet long ind was much decomposed. The cabh parted under the unusual strain, and the jody of the whale rose to the surface and jurat from tho imprisoned gases. The :rew of the steamer were glad to see the )ffensive object drift to leeward. It was loticed that the skin of the leviathan was jncrusted with barnacles; and it is proba fie that in trying to free himself of these jests, by rubbing against the cable, the mimal was caught by the tail, and perishec or want of air. This is the third recorded nstance of a whale being snared in a sub marine cable. A Fact.?There has been one very ira jortant revolution in newspapers during he last ten years.

Dr Forster, the director of the Ophthalmii University there, declares that, in threi 1 hundred cases that he has studied, thi " pressure of tight collars upon the muscle 1 of the neck has so disturbed the circula tion of blood as to affect the eyesight.

"That makes ten times that I have caught it," Rose said, in a satisfied tone. "No, it doesn't; it makes nine times, just exactly as many as I have." This is what Mary said, and she kept her hoop poised in the air while she waited to settle the question. "Why, Mary Lee! you are mistaken. I caught the hoop ten times." "And I know you are mistaken ; you have caught it just nine times. Hasn't she, Helen?" "I didn't count," said Helen. "Well, I did; and it is quite likely I know how many times I have caught a * hoop." [ "And I should think it was quite likely 1 I should know how many times my own hoop was caught." I Both girls began to have red cheeks and [ bright eyes. Frank laughed. ; "Now you are getting angry," he said, gaily, as though he thought it was fun. f "If you were boys, you would pitch into . each other and fight it out. How do girls _ manage these things?" "I don't want to play any more," said Mary, dropping the hoop. > "Oh !" said Frank. "1 know what girls > do?they sulk. I think it is just as nice to fight, and more interesting. Now, you won't speak to each other for hours." ? "What is the use?" said Helen. "What j is the difference between nine and ten, ) anyway?" Frank said, "The difference was a quarrel." r Then Rose, after a minute of silence, said, "No it isn't either; it is a kiss." And she put her arms around her and gave her a hearty one. "Come Mary, perhaps > I was mistaken." "Maybe I was," said Mary, "let's begin * all over again." "There, Frank, that's the way the girls r manage those things," said Helen, r "Some girls," said Frank. Then he I went to whistling.?[Selected. THE LORTTTABLE. 1 Some professedly Christian people urge that they cannot come to the table because there are certain persons there who in ' their judgment, should not be allowed to J come. Is the Lord's table tojbfc-a judg> mentseat, w heiea^?>!n^~(orece i v e the ^ verdict-?- "I cannot," said one to me, J "join a church, because I cannot find one that is perfect." No, I said, if you do not , join a church till you find a perfect one, i )uu iiiuat wait mi )'uu get lu iieavcu , uuu, f besides, my dear friend, if you ever find f a perfect church they will not take you in, for I am sure they would not be perfect . any longer if they did. One sickly sheep ? would then have passed into the fold. So [ it is idle for you to be looking out for per[ fection. "But there is a person at communion who acted inconsistently." That is highly probable, and he may be wear' ing your coat, and looking outof your eyes. \ If you know of any case of open sin, let the : elders of the church be informed, and it ' will be dealt with tenderly and firmly. In so large a church as this there may be ) cases of evil living not known to the overI seers of the flock, but we invite the cor operation of all iD maintaining the purit ty of the entire body, and we trust that we have it. But now, really what have 5 you to do with the faults of others when I you are remembering Christ Jesus ? Sure, ly this is the most unreasonable time for r harsh judgments, or, indeed, for any judgments. I know many a brother with whom I could not agree in certain points, ' but I agree with him in remembering the Lord Jesus.

Spurgeon. 1 Wait.?We who are parents come to learn that time is an element in the training of our children. We are sometimes } discouraged as we seek to repress faults or to evoke excellences. It is line upon line, t and precept upon precept, and even then i but little seems to be accomplished. But 3 it is only often in the seeming. The work 3 is going on. Wait a while. A year, two, ) three, have passed. The disorderly habits you had so often reproved, you find are ^disappearing; the love for reading, which 3 it had seemed so hard to fan into life, you j find is becoming fixed. Time has wrought its changes. Seeds do not germinate as j soon as they touch the ground. They must have time for the principle of life in them to assert itself. Here is encouragement for 1 all parents. It does not do to intermit pa} rental care, but there is no need ofdiscourj agement if immediate results of training * are not apparent. Time will tell, provided ? the training beright. Delightful evidence of maturing character will appear. The 3 seed, sown it may be weeping, will come 3 to delightful fruitage. j What is true here is true on a larger 3 scale. For the completion of all reforms 3 time is necessary. The world cannot be made better in the twinkling of an eye. That which is good must mature, that is, it I must gather age. There is need of enduj ranee, of patience, of faith, on the part of , all those who would work for the world's ; good. Reforms never go backward. Righteousness, however slowly, prevails. Let us remember that while the results of r what it is sought to do for the benefit of 1 man and the glory of God are not to be ex1 pected to-day, and most likely will not ap9 pear to-morrow, nevertheless they will 1 come. "This fine old world of ours is but a child f Yet in the go-cart. Patience! Give it time e To learn its linabs: there is a hand that guides." 3 [III. Christian Weekly. t Let the Girls Romp.?Most mothers f have a dread of romps; so they lecture the girls daily on the proprieties and exhort them to be little ladies. They like to see I them very quiet and gentle, and as prim "1 as possible. The lot of such children is rather pitiable, for they are deprived of ? the fun and frolic which they are entitled . to. Children?boys and girls?must have exercise to keep them healthy. Deprive them of it, and they will fade away like - flowers without sunshine. Running, s racing, skipping, climbing?these are s things that strengthen the muscles, ex' pand the chest, and build up the nerves. , The mild dose of exercise taken in the i nursery with calisthenics or gymnastics / will not invigorate the system like a good romp in the open air. Mothers, therefore, _ who counsel their girls to play quietly make a great mistake. Better the laugh~ ing rosy-cheeked, romping girl than the r pale lily-faced one, who is called every > inch a lady. The latter rarely breaks l things, or tears her dresses, or tires her f mother's patience as the former does; but after all, what does the tearingamount to ? It is nota wise policy to put an old head on " young shoulders. Childhood is the time for ' childish pranks and plays. The girls will c grow into womanhood soon enough. Let 9 them be children as long as they can. 5 Give them plenty of fresh air and sun9 light and pleasure. By all means give us hearty, healthy, romping girls, rather than pale-faced little ladies condemned . from their very cradles to nervousness, 2 headache and similar ailments. Home Duties.?Never crowd too much 3 work into a given time by having three or i four rooms to clean in one day. Never alt low dilapidations of linen or articles of furr I nit lire to remain unrepaired ; the latter gives an untidy appearance to a house, and j the former is subversive of all comfort. A . pair of stockings may be mended in aquar. ter of an hour, more or less. This portion . of time will scarcely be missed, while to . mend two pairs will take a longer time than perhaps can be spared. Keep a rag j bag, a paper bag and a string bag all con. veniently to hand ; a small drawer with 3 nails, tacks, hammer, pincers and chisel; 3 but all these tools, with the addition of a glue pot, keep under your own eye, or like pins and needles, they will nowhere be 1 found when wanted. Keep all receipts [ and file them. Sew them through the : middle with strong needle and thread; 3 place a strip of paper round each packet, I with the date of month and year. Have 3 no secrets from your husband, either as to 3 your proceedings or expenditure. If a 3 husband is kept in ignorance of his wife's 3 carelessness or debt, it is like walking over 1 the concealed crater of a volcano, which > may break at any moment and precipitate him beneath ; and that which, if told in i confidence, would have been received in - love, may destroy the peace of a house forr ever by being concealed. g d ' The Best Influence for Children, b I Keep your children at home. God gave b j them to you, and you alone are responsir ble for them. If you would have them i > grow up industrious, thoughtful men and / j women, set them a good example, and X I keep them under your own influence as I much as much as possible. The man or woman who does nothing but loaf or visit, accomplishes no good whatsoever in this life, and I doubt not the seed has been sown in childhood, and the seemingly harmless visiting while young developed the lazy street loafer and gossiping gadabout. . The mother who can serenely walk out of her house for an afternoon of pleasure, sending her children to a neighbor, for protection, may spend a charming and restful evening; but if she could look behind the scenes at her neighbor's she might not be quite so well contented with herself. a mm* a.
