Cerhapa a brief description of my
own will beat serve to Illustrate my
theme. v ,
1 had run down to spend a couple of
days with my friends the Graziers,
who were occupying a charming coun
try place for the summer. Oa tha
afternoon of my arrival my hostess
suggested that possibly I might enjoy
a drive over to 1'luo Knoll, which they
deemed a most desirable point from
which to view the country roundabout
I. of course, expressed my delight with
the idea of quiet country drive after
the man and turmoil of the eity, from
which I had Just escaped, , t t-
Immediately after luncheon a light
two-seated wagon drawn by a pair of
aplritecV bays appeared at the door.
Mrs, i Grazier and I took our seats be
hind and Mr. Grazier, springing into
the aeat in front, took the reine and
we were whirled away down the long,
smooth driveway, beneath rows of fine
old elms. I glanced admiringly at
them as we passed along and tnrned
to my hostess enthusiastically: "What
magnificent trees these are," I ejacu
lated. '' 1 - V,,
" She, however, tailed to respond, and
I noticed that her Hps were tightlv
compressed. "He careful, Wiilard.
when you turn fnto the road." ahe
said, warning ly, and I perceived that
we were approaching the picturesque
atone gateway, over which much su
perb English Ivy was gracefully twin-
"We're very proud of that Ivy," Mr.
Grazier remarked, eyeing it with satis
faction, as the bsys turned smoothly
out into the road. ,
"It Is beautiful," 1 murmured, trans
ferrin? my attention to his wife, who
was holding her breath and firmly
grasping her side of the wagon.
'Are you tlinld about drlvlne?" I
asked, sympathetically.
vn, no,", sue returned, "only my
husband absolutely disregards every
suggestion of mine," and she sighed
deeply. ' i . ,i - .
''Indeed" I mid, lowering my tone
so that it might reach her esrs alone,
wnue l eyed the bays uneasily, "and
Isn't Mr. Grazier used to driving?" ,
'He ought to be," she responded.
"for he has driven since he was a boy."
I lelt relieved, though still puzzled.
"But yon are a. great horsewoman
yourself, then," I persisted.
bhe shrugged her shoulders. "Not
in the least 1 never touch the reins
if I ean help it," she concluded, ,
At this point I became convinced
that Mr. Grazier had very sharp ears,
for, as I continued to regard her qnes-
tioningly, he remarked, lightly: "Mrs.
Grazier drives from the back seat"
"Wiilard, here comes one of those
dreadful coaches," his mentor began
almost Immediately. "Be sure that yon
turn out more than you did the other
afternoon. ' 1 never saw man take
such risks."' ; ... in.', ,
la a few minutes one of the horses
whisked his tail over one of the reins.
which was promptly freed by Mr.- Gra
zier; this gave his better half a chance
to suggest that, a tighter rein would
have prevented the catastrophe.
"Some one was telling me the other
day,, Wiilard,". she went on, "that
when a horse gets his tail over the
reins no one knows what he may do;
in fact, he la just as likely to run away
as not" 1 ' 'i i i
A little later we reached the shore of
a beautiful lake and I exclaimed with
rapture over the glimpse of the ver
dant hills rising majestically upon the
other side. , - ., ,,,
."This is Indeed an ideal spot," t
burst forth, but Mrs, Urn tier had no
eyes for the beauties of the landscape
just then, i . . . . ,
WHIard, what is the matter with
the horse on this side? lie looks very
Strange." " - - v .
"lie's all right,, my dear; only the1
flics bother him a little," and Mr. Gra
sier waved his whin Ifirhtly over the
offending animal's head. .
"Wiilard, how can yon do that, when
you know he is so nervous, unless,"
she added, plaintively, "yon really
want mm to run away and amab us
up!" ' ' - .
"That's my Idea, precisely," he an
swered, pleasantly, as we left the lake
drive and began to climb a neighbor
ing hilL During our ascent Mrs. Gra
zier fixed her attention upon the check
reins. ! ; r -, , -
'It seems to me, Wiilard, that these
horses are checked unnecessarily tight;
it is nothing but that, I am- sure, that
makes them actso." I
"But they haven't acted so." her hus
band remonstrated. '
"Well, they will I'm perfectly tow-
tive they will when they co:ne to go
down this steep hill; I can tell by the
way mat iney pnetc up their ears" '
At the summit we drew rein. "Not
a bad view here," my host announced,
pointing with his whip to the glorious
picture spread out beneath ns. "
"Jsow, Wiilard, you woteh the horse
and let it a.-lnrlra the view," Mrs, Gra-
saciting any response from the occu
pant of the front seat, who continued
to point out to me special features la
the anrroundtng landscape, despite her
protest
We shortly began to deuces J the
hill, which process I foresaw "would
permit my hostess ample opportunity
to lend her ever ready assistance from
the tack seat, and I was quite right in
my surmise. - , , ,
H was, "Wiilard, what a loose rein
yon have! Caul yoo realise that
they re likely to stumble at any mo
ment?" Or. "Wiilard, we're coming to
one of. thoe dangerous thank-you-ma'ams;'
do be careful."
1 sat by wondering at Mr. Grazier's
aiiruded composure under the contin
ual fire, but reflected that doubtless
he was used to it -.
Next we reached the crossroads, and
Ma Grazier turned the horses to the
right, remarking: "Here we leave the
main rood for a .drive through the
woada"
"Oh, no, Wiilard, tm sure you're
mistaken," his wife declared, "we
ought to keep to the main road 'or at
least a mile mora. I remember perfect
ly Just bow every inch of the road
looked the last time I drove over It"
'iy dear, I am absolutely sure that
this is the road," he replied, whipping
up the horses : ' .
Mrs. tirszier Waned back la her seat
with an expression of intense resigna
tion depicted upon her fsco. "Very
well; take Us anywhere you please,
provided that you get us home finally.
I shall not any another word; I have
offered all the advice that I intend to
this afternoon." .' . . -, . ;. j
I heard this statement with much
satisfaction, feeling that advice waa
not, after - all, the necessary accom
paniment ef a; thoroughly , enarmuiff
country drive. i ,
"This woody road Is lovely1, at all
events, and so shady and eool, I put
in timidly. ... ' ! r I J t j
"Yes, it Is very pretty here," Mrs.
Grazier assented-, ' then she - added:
"lYillard, I sea a farmer coming and I
want you just to ask hiin if this is tha
right road." ' ' -
"But I know It la the road.V. , .
"No matter, I should thick you
might ask him, if only to set my mind
at rest ' " t -J ,
"I suppose it would restlt very much
1( he said it was the wrong road.". .
"There, that's why you .won't In
quire;' you ' know he'll aay it's the
wrong road." -. . . '
Just then the farmer came alongside,
and Mr. Grazier, who was apparently
determined not to stop, suddenly drew
rein, more abruptly, I fancied, than
was wholly necessary, and my compan
ion on the bn'k aeat, after exclaiming:
"How, could you WlUardT"; esgerly
addressed the farmer: ,. i,
"Is this the road to Pine Knoll?"
"To Pine what?" he 'questioned.
blankly. '- .s ! i t, j .
"Pine Knoll, a hill witli trees on It"
she explained. , ;
"Well, I can't say," he responded.
"I ain't Biudh acquainted up this' way,
but 1 reckon you'll find pines ail about
hers.',' . , ., ,,. ,, !
"Thank you," lilt interlocutor said
briefly, and we drove on. '
"Now, we must stop snd ask tt the
next farmhouse, Wiilard," my hostess
announced; "they certainly are ac
quainted with the neighborhood."1 .'
'But how absurd, when I know that
the Knoll is not half a mile from this
very farmhouse." 1 ;
"So you Imagine, Wiilard, but 1
think differently. . . Here comes an
other man, and I am going to speak to
him." - ' - ' 11
Man number two, however "did not
wait to be, spoken to, but acoosted us
with a broad smile.
1 "Good day, Mr. Grazier, goln up to
the Knoll again?" , . j
Mr. Grazier nodded. "Is this the
shortest load?" Mrs. Grazier Inquired,
promptly. . ... , .
"1 reckon" it's about the only one."
ho te joined, grinning, as if ho found
the idea of a possible second road huge
ly amusing. , v- l i ,!
Pine Knoll proved to be a truly love
ly spot, but zny memory of the' way
thither and back is clouded by my too
vivid recollection of my hostess' par
ticipation In the management of the
y , ... i, ' ,
If we crossed bridge Wiilard was
reminded of the Sign which directed us
to "walk the horses," If we passed i
wagoner in a narrow part of the road
he was conjured not to tip ns down the
steep embankment 11 the horses quick
ened their pace it was cruel to drive so
fast, and if they slowed up they were
overheated, or had, doubtless, stones
in their feet
, The most trying time of all was
probably when we turned around in a
very limited spco On the top of Pine
Knoll; but npon that I will not en
large, ; v . '
When we reached home I felt tired
and exhausted, well-nigh sick, while
nm hostess sighed deeply as she
alighted, dsolaring that the couldn't
understand why ( driving fatigued
her so. ... " " ; ' i
Even Mr. ' Grazier, despite ' his ad
amantine nerves, appeared somewhat
weary, as he replied: "It's not driving
that tires you, but driving from the
back seat,, Mrs. brazier." j ....
Since my country drive I have often
observed people endowed with those
characteristics ao prominent, in Mr
Grazier. Jn every club, society or so
cial gathering I have found them pres
ent; in fact, wherever human beings
strive or struggle, wherever they con
gregate for work or, for amusement,
some are present .who ever stand one
side, their mission being to advise, di
rect and eritielscv' They make them
selves generally useful by telling oth
ers what they ought to do and how to
dOit ' " ; ' J
And as oft'O as It is my misfortune
to run across them (and their name Is
legion,- I. regret to say) my. painful
country drive rises before me and I
murmur: "I know yorf well, my
friends; therefore I shun yfitt, as 1 do

t Invitations to Chnreh vTeddloft.
There is a good deal of dispute in
regard to the etiquette of acknowledg
ment of a card for a church wedding.
Some high authorities assert that
the invitation is so general and meant
so -little particular attention that no
notice need be taken of it except in the
regular line of future visits to the
bride and to the bride s mother. Bnt
Mrs. John Sherwood, who is, probably,
our American social oracle, declares
that a card hi obligatory at the hour of
the wedding, if one can not attend.and
that If the bouse address is unknown,
this card should be sent to the church.
If this Is necessary most people err wo
fully, for few non-attendants send the
card. Chicago Tribune., . ;-..-.

one of its strongest points. Sometimes
we even exceeded the limits, and cow
and then somebody had "a fine to fm v

"One day an tild lawyer from the

old fellow had been in our courts many

been talking uut l the young fcjkm t

would tesch him a lesson and at the

' HOUSEHOLD MYTHS, ,
Thtf Are Departing rram mw Mint,.,
llousvwife's Sllnd.
One tv one the household mvths de
psrt, to keep company with the legend
of the apple shdbucg and the fountain
of perpetual youth. A very convenient
myth of this class was the belief in
"growing pains" The mother used it
as the auiiicient exnlnuation of certain
twinges and nips of pun which as
sailed her sons and daughters, mid she
invariably conveyed the idea that they
were an inseparable concomitant of
the physical expansion snd accretion
that is the youth's moat absorbing am
bition. Now comes along one of the
uUMJnnking,' analyzing, statistical
doctors of the periOQ Rud pt ils unn.
venient consolation to flight . Ho
insists that growth is , natural
snd has no' pains; but he finds
that pains cons from crrere;cer
tion of the muscles, as children will
overuse them when entering enthusi
astically into their games. If in the
leg elevating and rubbing it will soon
bring about what the, old doctors
called a "determination" of healthy
blood to the part, wliU'ii tUie tuu
overwrought tissue and gives nwif t re
lief.. Those pains should not be neg
lected ' or ' overlooked, for ' children
often have the beginnings of rheuma
tism, although it is generally regarded
as a disease of Bfre that timely cure
from a skillful man' may 'cure?; and
nearly all fevers have "pains in the
bones", as one of their preliminary
stages, so that whllo "growing pains"
as a distinct disorder are gone parents
shoud not be Indifferent to tha suffer
ings of adolescence, but should tuko
the "stitch in time." N. Y. Independ-

The art journals and home" maga
zines are full of suggestions for hovel
ties in decorated chairs, footstools and
fancy tables. I would respotfully sub
mit a set of three pieces finished as
follows: Get them of white pirn and
finish with a cost of wood filling and
white varnih. Have the work well
done, so that the grain is well brought
out and the surface smooth.. Now,
paint upon each piece pf furniture
delicate sprays of hop vine with clus
ters of green hop?. Do not attempt
an "all-over" pattern,' but upon the
cusir represent the vine as climbing
and Up two or three posts of the back
with, leaves and clusters of hops fall
ing over the board at tho trp, A
bunch of the sprays might be massed
on top of the table with leaves and
tendrils falling upon the sides and per
haps twining around one or t let's,
and a heavy-clustered vino wi.-H be
represented thrown across one cor
ner of the three-legged stool. Such a
set of furniture would be cool-looking
and pretty for a younsr girl's bed-room,
and would cot be inlinrmoiiiouswitU
