Why Madfe Felt That Mother Graham's
Comfort Creed la Uncomfortable.
I MA OF. a sudden swift derision as I
leard my mother-in-law wonder what
I rou!d have said to her cousin to
makr her weep so tempestuously. I
couldn't tell her that I had ordered her
kinswoman to leave my house because
of her outrageously (rucl quirzing of
my little maid. 1 had told Cousin Aga-
tha that she need not reveal the real
reason for her going if she didn't wisn
to do so. And if she had not spoken
of it my lips were sealed. Hut there
wa something I could tell her a mes-
sage I could send to her cousin.
"Your cousin made me exceedingly
angry mother" I began nervously
"and 1 fear I said something very rude
I very cruel to her. She probably is in
no mood to see me or 1 would apologise
to her hut won't yon ask her for me to
consider our conversation as having
never taken place? I shall never refer
to it again and I trust she will not."
My mother-in-law looked at me keen-
"I can't imagine you getting any the
I tier of it in any row with Agatha"
shr said and there was that in her
voice which made me realire anew how
spineless a creature my husband and
his relative's must ronsider me "Hut
then I suppose she said something par-
ticularly atnx ious to that idiot of a
Katie and so of course you lost your
head ompletelv. You ought to get rid
of that girl Margaret. Of course it's
very kind and sweet of you to allow her
to stav. but she will he less and less
I help to you for months to mine and
then just see what you will have on
I hand."
j " I ben you know " ! said in
I amazement.
! " I hat Katie is going to have a babv:"
! relumed my mother in law tartly.
I "Why of cmirse !"
! "Hut that's neither here nor there"
I she went on briskly. "It's none of
Agatha's business if Katie has six cbil-
I dren all twins. And I'll tell her so
when she gets over her crying spell "
I "Please mother" 1 said emboldened
! by her rhampionship of me to call her
I by that sacred name "don't say any-
(thing cross to her. Just tell her how
1 sorry I am."
j "Not much I won't!" my mother in-
law replied briskly "You'd have her
j walking all over you Hut I'll give her
I your first message to ronsider V'r
conversation as not having taken place
You must have told her to leave for
nothing less would have made sm h an
impression on her."
My mother in law glam ed al me
shrewdly but I didn't rise (. the bait
she thtew out
"She's a Toor Slick"
"She's a xMir stick Agatha." shr wen!
on "liisagretahle and tallv and mcd
dlesoine from her childhood and she
had all those traits intensified when she
had the opportunity bv reason of h''
position as suef intendent o a rrfninu
tory for girls to indulge them She lost
her position and as she has but the
Uuicat ul wv-Muca about all the yleuurc
she ever gets out of life is when invite
her to visit me."
And then Kemore with a capital R
seied me. Not alone beiause I bad
been rude to a penniless old woman but
because 1 couldn't keep out of my mind
the ungracious reflection that if tt were
not for Dicky his mother could not be
so munificent in entertaining her im-
pecunious cousin.
I had no time either for remorse nr
for reflection. My motherin-law with
her usual driving practicality looked
around my room.
"All packed ready to move I see" she
said. "Where are you going to put
Agatha to sleep? You know I cannot
have her in my room."
"I shall fix up this r'Kiin again." I re-
plied trying to make my tone heartily
lordial. "It won't take very long"
"Don't fuss too much" she said "If
you get the bed up and the dresser and
the rug in place the rest of the thiwgs
won't matter."
Regrets That Worry.
I could iv. repress a smile as she
went out. She would defend me against
unpleasantness from any one else but
she was supremely indifferent to the in-
convenience I might suffer in getting
my room rradv for her cousin She had
never suggested the possibility of
Dicky's giving up bis room to her cous-
in and bunking upon an army cot as I
was doing It probably never had or
curred to her but I knew she wuiM
have resented it if I had suggested it.
That she and her son must he com-
fortable no matter who else was incon-
venienced -this I bad long ago leauw l
was an incontrovertible artltle of lrr
life crede.
It was a very fine creed for her I re-
flected wearih as I once more started
in search of Jim to help me arrange
mv room but rather an inconvenient
one for n;e.
