"I'll see her at the club to-morrow, any- way--she always plays golf Sunday mornings." 'I don't understand you, Joe," his mother said in cold disapproval, You went out of the house yester- day morning wild because your inth- er had sald he'd take you out of college if this spending of money went on. Now you sa y you've got a Job and don't want to go!" "I'm reformed!" Joe said jocosely. "The old man called me names this morning." It's just possible-- it's just possible that some day I'll have the laugh on the old man!" "I wish you'd stop talking non- sense, and follow me over to the Russells'," his mother said impat- fently, "I don't know what they'll think if you don't come." "Tell them I've had a change of heart--I've got religion," Joe said indifferently, "Tell them that the way to begin living the ideal life is to begin." "To begin what?" sharply asked Lillian Spencer Merrill, wife of the owner of the Mack Merrill 'Chain Stores. "Just that, darling, The way to begin," living the ideal life is--to begin," said Joseph Grant Mac- kenzie Merrill mildly. Mrs. Johnson, born Petheridge, cherished in herself, and planted in her daughters, an unbounded sense of righteous pride. The Johnsons had no pride, and no. particular cause for pride, she said. But the Petheridges, and thelr collateral lines of Larkins and Law- rences!! Ma told them thrilling tales of Gran'ma Larkin's samp- ler, hung above the Petheridge fireplace in the magnificent Pet- heridge home "down South," and about the Johnny Yanks mashing up all Gran'me Larkin's cut glass, and about the slaves--hundreds of them, all singing and dancing and happy, and not any more wanting to be freed than so many irresppon- sible sparrows! Pop, meanwhile, miserably repre- sented not only the low-born John- sons, but the entire ranks of the Johnny Yanks as well. He would cringe while Ma was enlarging upon this topic, and nervously clear his throat. And whenever he spoke of Vermont families, Ma sald with her rich, unctuous laugh, "Makin' wood- en nutnegs I suppose?" and the girls| body had to jaugh, too. No usq going against that particul- ar currgnt, there were too many others. td struggle with, if one were to struggle at all Often, when Maggie and her fath- er were alone, he would give her a fairer idea of the case. "You see ,dearie," Len would ex- plain in his mild, uncomplaining voice, "Ma's just quotin' things she heard when she was a little girl. She never saw your great-grand- mother's house, with those samplers and things." Your mother can't re- all that. I don't know as her folks ever had slaves, anyway. They lived right in East St. Louis, and they had a drug store--I don't know just what 'they would have done with slaves!" Sometimes, Pa would ramble on to the other side of the ancestral pic- ture, to his own boyhood on a Ver- mont farm, : "I surely would like you to see the place, some day, Maggie. There was eight of us boys, and my sis- ter Margaret--you're named for her, and for my mother, too. There's some of them there still, T dare- say--I haven't heard for twenty years. You'd like your grandmoth- "Mean- | I remember when a big storm would be comin' up--trees bendin' over and planks rattlin' in the yard, and the old well-sweep 'creakin'--how we loved the kitchen then! There was a big open fireplace one side, but she had her range built right across it, and there wasn't never a drop of anythin' - spilled on that range--she kep' it like black glass." "Oh, Pop! But why did you ever * come away?" "I d'no, Maggie. Jest got rest- less, I guess" "Look here, Pop. 1f my grand- mother Johnson had nine children and no servants, how could she manage to keep the place so clean, and the stove shining so, and every- thing? Ma says that no lady vught ever to do her'own work, and she says it can't be done!" "Well, maybe your grandmother Johnson wasn't a lady, Maggie." "Pop, do you think there's any hope I'm not a lady? Not like my grandmother Petheridge, I mean? Because,' Maggie would rush on eag- erly, "I'd love to have my kitchen always clean and orderly, and pies cooling on the windowsill, and jam all put up, and me in a nice clean gingham dress--and a big stiff white | apron, siiting down on the side "Joe" Maggle asked, a day or two later, "how could you live the ideal life if nothin' in your was jdeel "Ah, there's the catch!" Joe snswe| ered airily, ' 'The meaning of that ideal life thing, is this: You're--you're all in! your own mind, do you see? What you have doesn't matter. What you! think and what you are is everything --and what bunk it all is!" he added! sneeringly to himself, "Do you get. me?" he asked afouqa. : Bhe did not get him at all, but she! nodded. ; "You must make everything beau- .' tiful in your life," Joe sald, encour-) aged by her attention, "An old| plate, for instance, an old stain on! the wall. Why, Maggie, the museums of Europe are full of them--old plates and ragged clothes and worn- out rugs and water stains, and, everyone thinks they're beautifull The ceiling of the Sistine Chapel, for instance. Did you ever hear of that?" "Michelangelo did it," Maggie said, nodding. "And how did you know that?" "Oh, we had it in school, an' then we have 'em here, among the fif- teen-cent classic coloured reproduce tions," Maggie replied, Bi - op, do you h to have my kitchen always re's any | porch, rocking, like you said Gran | { ma Johnson always did! And I'd like to believe in all those newspap- er budgets, and system, and having a regular hour for everything," Mag- gie would conclude, expectant eyes on his face, "Well--I don't know, dearle. Your | | mother hasn't real good health, you, knew. And your sister has to keep! | her hands nice, And then, of course, we're poor folks, Maggie. When you have to do without, things--" , "Pop, wc're not poor! Why, you and I--make more than two hundred | a month, Pa. And there's budgets | as Jow as one hundred!" "Two hundred a month for four folks ain't much in these days, Mag- gle, when everything's gone up so high!" It was the automatic pro- test. "But, Pop--those budgets, and the lists the government sends out, and the newspapers and the magazines know how things have gone up, don't they?" "Dearie, your Pop ain't much on mathematics," Len would say, pass- ing a weary hand over his trombled ferehead, shaking his meek, gray lit- tle head. Ma, approached on the subject of household reform, had much to say and very, very little to do. "When I and your pop was mar. ried, beef was fifteen cents a pound! I remember that, because I said to the butcher, 'Ain't that a lot?' I wasn't nothin' but an Innocent child --TI'd never done any work with my own hands before. 'Keep them little hands like flowers!' our old doctor, Dr. Lovejoy, use' to say. He was a Southerner, too--" Maggie only listened respectfully, feeling that if bee! would only go down to fifteen cents a pound again, every thing might yet be well, Meanwhile, the kitchen grew shab- bier and shabbier and water and grease and ashes darkened the chip- ped floor, and the plates were piled in the sink, and the faucets dripped on them unavailingly. She had found room for the ideal leaflet that Joe had given her on the crowded shelf above the sink, and sometimes she looked up from the dishpan at it, with wondering eyes. "The way to begin living the ideal life is--to begin." Her mother said shat it didnt seem to her to make sense. 'Liza- beth read it once, suspiciously, and then forgot all about it. But Len and Maggie discussed it more than once, in some bewilderment. Len sald frankly that he didn't "get £0 : There was no hot water, and no- in the world could wash the platés after a lamb stew, dinner in cold, She piled them an d scraped them while she waited for some water to boil. "Maggie!" This was her mother, from bed. "Liz go out?" "Ten minutes ago, Ma. . "Well, here's all there is to it, said Mrs. Johnson. 'I'm at the end of my green, and I can't do no more leaves until I get some, I guess you're tired ain't you?" . "Not so very." "You'll have to get the from your father, Maggie!" i "Pop have yo u thirty cents? "I guess so." He counted it out dimes, pennies. "Will two be enough, Ma?" "How much did your father give you? Thirty cents--yes, that'll bel enough, but, I would like to know! what Len Johnson does with his money! Shut that door!" Dishes waiting, kettle so sluw to heat, crumbs 'on the floor, batter spilled and dried on the stow, the red tablecloth rumpled, the sugar bowl upset, dish towels stiff with grease and water--no matter, the in- spiration of it went before her like 8° banner, as she ran down the dark nioney er's kitchen--winter or summer, that was the place us boys liked to be! street, + ; "The way to begin living the ideal life is--to begin "Well. All those old pictures am dirty and worn, mouldering away all the old palaces, are lots of the books, all the furniture-- yet persons swarm over there every' year and admire them," sald Joe. "Now, the point is, suppose you had! to live with a lot of rotting furniture, and chipped plates, and you jus | sald to yourself: These are beautiful and valuable relics--'" ( "You mean that cups an' chairs an' being poor on' tired really have nothin' to do with the way you live?" she asked, coming nearer to it than he had, as he recognized somewhat to his surprise, "You've got it." he said. There was vision in her uplifted eyes, as if the walls of the mattress factory, where they were sitting, had faded away, and ne# dreams of beauty and fitness and purity had risen before her inner sight. ' "Joe, nothing could stop that if you once got it!" she said in 8 whisp- er. And then, half to herself, "I can't wait to get home and begin!" And after a while she sald wistfully! Joe, I wish I knew as much as you know."
