evening. As the evening drew on, it was a group oi' tired people that gathered around the iireplace to discuss further pla11s. The rest of the week passed in hard work like the first day. Very early the next Saturday morning the carriage was sent to every train to bri11g back the guests, but alas! no guestsl At noon Mrs. Fox said: lt is just as well. They will come late this evening or tomorrow and that will give them time to rest up.', Near four o'clock in the afternoon a large touring car rolled up before the Fox home and Aunt Anne and Uncle Je1'ry bounded out of the car and into the house. It was with surprise and astonishment that the family stared at their relatives. Having lunch, cried Aunt Anne, well, we will Join you. 'tYou seef' she continued, we came here on a bet.

CPREPARED ESS .,.i. l Well, we are in for it nowf' said Mr. Fox in a tone of despair as he read the telegram handed to him at breakfast. Then he continued fretfully: 1 am just out of a sick bed and you have none of your spring house cleaning done and all the children still in school. What are we to do? He does not say how long they intend to stay but he has been promising us a visit for so long they will probably stay a month or so. He states that they will be here the fifth and we have nothing prepared. VVould not the news that wealthy relatives are coming, at a time when your energy and resources have been taxed to their fullest extent by sickness, cause a burst of fear and anxiety in your household? Mrs. Fox, capable and patient a little woman as she was, felt her heart sink at the prospect. This was Saturday morning and she could not begin house cleaning for the next day was Sunday. The house, to begin with, must have a new coat of paint and the rest of the lawn must be laid. lt would have been finished long ago were it not for the illness of Mr. Fox who could not stand the ham- mering of the sodders.

Sunday was spent in planning, and it was no wonder she sighed heavily as her imagination pictured in lively colors the havoc all this would work on their slender bank a.ccount. The hall would be in dull red,-this had been settled long ago. After a long and heated' debate they decided to have all new furniture for the library and paper to harmonize. The work of this room was intrusted to a professional decorator. The living room and parlor will not be much trouble, said the girls, 'tjust new paper, new curtains, oiled floors and Persian rugsf' . Monday morning dawned bright and sunny as luck would have it. lt was Decoration Day so Marshall and Margaret were home from school, which greatly pleased Mrs. Fox for she said they could take down curtains, dust pictures and do a multitude of odd jobs, which always accompany house cleaning. lt was very late in the afternoon when Margaret decided to ar- range the porch. Then came her questions: Marshall, will you wash the porch? Mar- shall like an obedient brother washed the porch. Now will you hang the swing? Maybe Aunt Anne and Uncle Jerry would like to sit here on a warm
