Lp, H Q ...M-.....,,-.......,.,,.,,,...f.,,....... L-ww bl J .-.,-,-..,.....,-.,......M.,M.. ln The Absence of John Bicm-zsien Bon1Nn '23 Winner ol' Merwin Cup lt was -lune and strawberry time. In the - I tields around an old New England farmhouse, weathered to a eomlortable brown by many winter snows and summer rains, the berries were ripening in the wal'n1 sunshine. It was a pity that Peter tlraham out ol' whose toil and hope these fields had borne fruit, eould not witness the result ol' his labors. I llis oldest daughter, Phyllis was sitting on the step ot' the long deep veranda, hulling a big panlul ol' the luseious erimson berries. She sat where she eould get a whiff otf the south wind, laden with the salt invigorating I breath ol' the sea. 'l'here, too, the investigat- n ing sunbeams l'ound the gold in her bronze hair. ln various pieturesque attitudes, the other members ol' the l'amily reelined on the veranda, likewise engaged in this interesting oeeupation, t'or strawberry time meant pre- serving time, t'rom the deleetable odors whieh eame l'rom the kitehen. Mrs. Graham paused in the doorway, and ' L at sight ot' her Phyllis exelaimed, Do eome laalmxtt-1.3 izomgtg out here with us Mother. This is really too perteet a day to spend in the kitehen. even t'or the sake ol' strawberry jam. ll' you will sit a while in the sunshine, and smell the honeysuekle, and that sea breeze, you ean't help but t'eel the joy ot livingf' ller mother smiled a tritle wearily. It was sometimes hard to get Phyllis' point ot' view. Ilowever, she was glad to relax in a eomtortable roeker. That reminds me otf Uousin Agatha 's letter. Mrs. Graham said with a twinkle in her ealm eyes, She thinks that growing strawberries is just too poetie t'or anything. l think we ought to invite her up to enlighten her. Neverl replied Phyllis, was an harassed, toilworn sehool teaeher I elaim my right to a. smnmer ol' domestie peaee and tranquility. t'lluhl'l put in Ted, aged ten and the man ot the family, she ought to have to weed and piek them like I do, then she'd forget about the poetic side. Like you dol'l retorted Barbara, his twin, I'll bet l've pieked as many as you havef' t'NVell, never mind, said fifteen-year-old Aliee, the peaeemaker, ' The-re's enough to keep us all busy. Yes indeed, her mother replied and then added anxiously, Hthe most unfortunate thing has happened, and right now at strawberry time too. John told me that he would have to go to Indiana, as his mother is seriously ill. John had managed the t'arm t'or the family sinee the death ot' Mr. Graham, five years het'ore. Faitlilul, eftieient, taeiturn, he had eome to be regarded as their prop and mainstay. H80 you see,' she eontinued 'talthough we ean get Joe 'l'rumbull to do the t'arm work, he will need help in paeking and shipping the berries. They will all be ripe next week. i 24
