Georgiana had sug- gvsted "Tasteful clothing is often rmliy ednca tive.” Presently her complacent expectation and the reading of [{inross and Eunice were interrupted by Georgiana and Daisy, who strolled into the parlor and seated themselves. Daisy on the front doorstep near Peter and Gear. giana on the window sill beside Eu- nice. Georgiana carried over her arm the skirt and waist of a pretty White gown. She and Daisy. having held counsel and reasoned that the girl Eunice must feel her shabbiness in contrast with Ollie’s gorgeonsness. had decided to ofl’er her a few of their own garments. beginning with this white dress of Georgiauu’S. I Ollie Morningstar was regarding with pride the furnishings of the best front room. Her parlor boasted of some elegancies that no other parlor in the township possessed. for besides gthe inevitable plaster of paris cat ‘ and crazy jug (the latter consisting of a large sized bottle covered with putty and stuccoed with various objects such as buttons. beans. pieces of glass. and so forth. and the whole gilded over to produce a wonderful efl’ect) there was the large, elegant colored picture-Swift Co.’s advertisement of lard-portraying two great. tat. oval hogs leaning drowsily against a£ fence. with a lurid sunset in the back- ground. Ollie thought it lovely. though of course not so beautiful as “Rock of Ages” framed in red plush and gilt, representing a young lady in a nightgown hanging to a cross. the angry billows (lashing against the rocks on which she kneels and her long and remarkably abundant hair flowing in ripples far down her back. These things were among the compen- sations of Ollie’s sordid lot. His reading of his newspaper was varied with speculations as to why Eunice so industrially read the Bible. Was she devout? He had always be- lieved that he had a constitutional dis- like of devout peopleâ€"unless they were Roman Catholics, in which case they were rathei picturesque. But evangelical devoutness even in the illiterate, from whom one expected no better, was generally nauseating. Or was it the girl’s mental hunger which led her to read the only book per- mitted on the Sabbath to any one over whom Mr. Morningstar had any au- thority’? A few feet away, in the open door- way leading out to the porch. Dr. Kin‘ ross sat smoking a pipe and reading : Sunday paper. Unlike Mr. Morning- star and Abe. he did not celebrate the day of rest by sitting about in a toilet consisting of Sunday pants. 3 white shirt Without a collar and no vest or coat. He wore his overalls as usual. She was not like Ollie. dressed in her Sunday clothes. The truth was Eunice did not have any Sunday clotilrs. But the fresh gingham kitchen gown of dark blue which she wore, with a bit of cheap lace around her neck, threw out the fairness of her face and hair and did for her what all Oilie’s finery could not do for that young woman’s fat. round visage. been slower than most of the girls in the neighborhood in attracting a suitor. and now that a young man of. means who owned his own farm clear had begun to wait upon her with sig- nificant regularity every Sunday night she was feeling encouraged. Eunice was seated near her at one 0! the windows, an open Bible on be: lap. '1‘ was Sunday evening. “beau night" in the social circle of the Morningstars. and Ollie, dressed in her best furbelews, was seated in the front room, which was never opened except on the Sabbath. Ollie was awaiting the arrival of her “fol- lower.” She was looking very com- placent as she rocked herself in the big, stuffed rocking chalr. She had Do JO COPYRIGHT. 1N7. BY CHAPTER IX. Author y “Tillie: A Mennonite Maid.” THE DURHAM CHRONICLF. “I suppose you mean to do me a kindness," Eunice answered. her eyes downcast. “and so I thank you. But it would humiliate me to be a recipient of charity. 1 find more of the 'har- mony' which you seem to value so highly in clothing myself only in these clothes which I myself have earned: stance,” she sald. with a perfunctory playfulness, “begin by putting on this white gownâ€"1n which I feel you will give those about you a genulne aes- thetic pleasureâ€"and even help to edu- cate them to a fine taste in the small things of llfe." Emerson’s whole gospel is mania spir- itual mastery of circumstance. I am aware that most of us are slaves to it. But we can rise to a plane where in- stead of letting it control us we con- trol it. Otherwise we go through life missing the true beauty. the perfect harmony of the universe. I feel sure that you can find that harmony 11‘ you will keep your mind open to it. For in- "I am the master of my fate. I am the captaln or my soul. “And the great English poet Robert Browning,” she continued instructive- ly, “called environment ‘machlnery, Just meant to give thy life It: bent.’ “We need not ever let our environ- ment rule us." said Georgiana, looking as though she had lost her bearings, but making an en‘ort to recover her- Georgiana looked nonplnsed. Daisy, fumbling the pages of a book she was not reading, dropped her lower lip in astonishment. Dr. Kinross put down his paper from before his face and took his pipe from his mouth. Even Ollie's face expressed surprise. She had addressed herself to Eunice. and the girl, stlll looking puzzled. an- swered uncertainly. “But when the lack of harmony with one’s environ- ment is fundamental mere external adjustment can’t help things.” “That is perhaps commendable to a certain point." said Georgiana gently. “But one should give just enough at- tention to outward adornment to let it express something of the inner life. The refinement of our thoughts and feelings or the lack of it is often sym- bolized by our dress. We should cul- tivate our natural inclinations for ex- ternal harmoniesâ€"it is not right to be indifl’erent to themâ€"they are a legiti- mate part of life.” “Eunice she never did think at the cloes much like what I do." Ollie add- ed insinuatingly. “Oh. I wore it for ‘nice.’ ” Georgiana smiled. The girl's puzzled gaze seemed try- ing to make it out. But before. she could reply Ollle leaned forward and. eagerly examlulng the embroidery and rutlles on the pretty dress lying across Cunlce’s lap. asked with undlsgulsed covetousness, “Did you wear it fur nice or just fur so?" "Bevause I feel.” Georgiana smiled encouragingly. “that even so trifling a thing as our clothes can help us to get into right relations with life.“ Kinross, from behind his newspaper. fuund himself listening intently to hear what Eunice would say. Ennice's eyes grew wide with a questioning surprise. “You want to give it to me?" she asked wondering- ly. “But why?” ”Sensitive to beauty even to the point of feeling out of harmony with our environment if we are not tastefully dressed." Georgiana went on. “And so," she ended gracefully, laying the gown she held across Eunice’s lap, "i want to give you this pretty white gown.” Eunice looked up from- her book. dark eyes dreamy and absent. Kinruss grinned behind his news- paper and settled himself to enjoy tlw vonversation. He was finding Hpurgizma very diverting. Seated on the window sill beside the 'vtht‘t of her benevolent intentions. Georgiana led up tactfully to the mat- lvr of her gift. - "Eunice." she began earnestly. her 0508 on the distant horizon which was just beginning to deepen its evening ‘mes. “do you ever feel. in your near- m-ss to nature here. how really we unis-elves are a part of all this won- derful beauty? It seems to me that this environment.” she added. with- out waiting for Eunice to reply. "ought to make us sensitive to beauty in every detail of life.” totnrow‘ herself away~as nit-e looking as she isâ€"on a fellow as tight across the chest as he is~as any one can see he is! Ugh!" Daisy shook her shoul- «ler's with a shudder. "if I had to marry a man with a nature like that- vlose and mean. you know-I‘d get up mine night and gently lay a wet towel «.wer his nose and mouth. Then. you ltlmw. he‘d be dead next morning. To he sure." she went on. ”there’s Peteâ€" she might sport up for hitn-â€"but he‘s sm-n an indifferent thing! Give him his meals and that‘s all he wants.

Georgiana had returned grave- :y, “My object in offering Eunice a pretty gown is to try to awaken in her :2 sense of the beautiful on a much higher plane than that you talk about." her book and pencil. “It lives.” G i "Imagine thin yard of pump water in one of Gcoruiana’s gowns! ” ought to have brought with us to read in this settingâ€"with this back- ground?" she asked. waving her hind abroad to indicate the farm at large. “Which?” inquired Daisy respectful- ly.

I’m on Switzerland now. It’s perfectly dear!” she said, with per- functory enthusiasm. “The author has “What are you reading?” she in- quired of Daisy in the tone of gentle patronage she always used to her cousin and for which Daisy appeared humbly grateful. “Or. 1 should say. what is that book you are not reading? One or those that father made you pack?" “Peter.” Daisy gently reproved him. “i wouldn’t be shocked if you called me Daisy. (Sweet name, isn't it?) But to permit yourself the liberty of call- ing Miss Ellery ‘Georgie’â€"that's the limit! 80 you think," she added. “that she’s both clever and beautiful? And she thinks you, Peter.” she confided to him. “have a latent fineness concealed somewhere about you"â€" “A wha tever?" Daisy’s answer was arrested by Georgiana's rising from the window sill and sitting down beside her on the front door step. Georgiana had evi- dently quite recovered her not easily disturbed equanimity. “Imagine that yard of pump water, Ollie, in one of Georgiana's gowns! She looks as though she weighed 250 Fahrenhelt!” “Do you mean avolrdupols?” “Now. Pete. you needn't be so smart!” she retorted resentfully. “What It I do mean avotrdupois? Oh. dear,” she sighed, “I never seem to be cocksure of a fact. I almost wish I were clever instead of pretty.” “Now, if you was deoréie," he re- marked. “you’d be both; ain’t?” She half turned her back ‘wlth a umvemeut that closed the conversation. Eunice’s eyes fell to her book again, and fur a time no one spoke, though Ollie's 1001; of disgust at the loss of the prof- fered gown was louder than words. Kim-ass replaced his pipe in his mouth and drew on it vigorously. This girl, Euniceâ€"the sort of language she used, the Ideas she expressedâ€"talking about the want of harmony with her environment being “fundamental!” “For an unschooled Pennsylsanla Dutch girl of the backwoods"-â€"but his reflection was checked by a whispered remark from Daisy at his side. “Are you glvin‘ it back?” Ollle hero demanded of Eunice lncreduloualy.
