Trees were still bare, but Easter

“I wrote the old man we’d go to

It would be rather fun to visit
there, as Gibbs’ wife, with little
Thomas, Third. She well remem
bered the handsome woman who
had been so baffltngly superior In
her manner toward Mrs. Rose; her
own—what was It V—stepmother-in
law now, so curiously bod events
come about.
"Gibbs! she said suddenly.
“Look—there by that little boy on
the pier who’s waving a flag!
Isn’t that your father—of course It
1st And your stepmother, too—
and there’s Joe—that!* Uncle Joe,
Tommy—Oh, Joe—Joe—Joe!”
"That Is dad," Gibbs said, deeply
pleased and touched. “And that’s
old George4-I call this decent I
We’ve been away so long, Ellen,
that I’d forgotetn how nice it is
to have folks! I suppose the dash
tng lady in the black hat is my
mamma? Wave your band, kid,
that's your family! And try to
remember the English for things,
or they’ll not like you!”
Five minutes later they were all
together-in a Jumble of landing.
Ellen was kissed on her suddenly
wet cheeks by her father-in-law,
and by George Latlirop, who had
been best man at their wedding,
and by the sweet and rather silent
Joe. Joe was taller than ever, he
would never be well-dressed or well
] groomed, or have a particularly
happy manner in company, but
Ellen clung to the big, boyish arm,
and laughed into his handsome,
kindly face as if she could never
feel and see and hear enough of
him. He had improved so, and he
looked so—well, so grown-up!
Afier all. one’s little brother was
one’s little brother, even if he was
twenty-five! She found her father
ln-law aged, he was someho w
shrunken, his __
and face had grown
leaner in Its aspect. Lillian was
so changed as to be hardly recog
nizable.
She was dressed with great Se
verity, but everything she wore was
fine and rich. Her skin was like
a rose leaf, her dark eyes were
rimmed with faint violet shadows—
eyes made,for sorrow, but
with pleasure and hospitality
Bllen thought she had never seen
whiter teeth, a more beautiful
scarlet mouth to enhance
whiteness.
She had been beautiful seven
years ago, she was more than
that now. She radiated charm
and personality, there was a lrtht
of sadness In her face when It was
in repose, there were a hundred
provocative attractions in her
thoughtful smile. She was ready
wit a a rrenen pnrase, a < ion-nun
phrase, she touched lightly upon
the - Italian political situation, she
had the name of a Russian novel
ist readily upon her tongue.
Ellen thoroughly liked George
Lathrop, who was Gibbs’ senior by
only six or seven years, and his
best friend. George was a lawyer
and a man of Importance, but he
was somewhat insignificant in ap
pearance, and his manner still be
trayed the country boy who has
fought his way to the top.
“You must help roe get some new
gowns,” Ellen said, realizing for
the first time in seven years that
gowns really were important. “Of
course at home—In Paris, I mean,
I’ve worn only studio things.”
“But, my dear, you should have
gotten loads of things in Paris!”
Lillian said. “You’ll think they’re
pirates here!
Well, I did get an evening
gown, and an afternoon dress,”
Ellen said. ‘‘Gibbs and I tried to
pick out something smart, But
really It is hard, there. There are
so many new models, and one can’t
tell which is going to be adopted—
and so many women dress just to fit
their own types, now, regardless
of style!”
“Here we are!” Joe, who could
not move his delighted eyes from
his sister, said suddenly. They all

HOF
t
FRUIT BUSINESS
That H. C. Hardy, son of W. R.
Hardy, of Broks, is making a suc
cess in his work is shown by the
following clipping from the Law
ton (Mich.) Leader:
“At a recent meeting of the
board of directors of the Southern
Michigan Fruit association, H. C.
Hardy was hired as manager for
another year.
i Mr. Hardy’s work during the
past year has been very satisfac
tory to the board and to those
who have been in close touch with
his management. As this is his
first year in connection with the
marketing end of the fruit busi
ness, the opinion is that he will
be more valuable to the associa
tion another season.
a Mr. Hardy does his work so
quietly and with so little fuss
that those who do not come in
direct contact with him do not
recognize his ability or foreeful
ness of character. However, when
one does have occasion to take
up a matter of business withhim
they find him courteous and oblig
ing and also discover that he has
matters well in hand.
“For seven year's Mr." Hardy
was district manager for the Fru?t
Growers' Express, one of the
companies that furnish refrigera
tor cars for shipping fruit and
vegetables. In the summer and
fall his work was in the North
and in the winter in the South.
“In the north he had charge of
his company’s business over the
Michigan Central Lines, handling
during the season from 2,700 to
2,800 cars.
“His knowledge of transporta
tion has been a heln to him in his
present position and has aided him
in unraveling a number of tan
gles during the past season.
TWO NEW CHARGES
HURLED BY IBANEZ
AT KING OF SPAIN
Paris, Nov. 28.—Vincent Blasco
Ibanez from his Paris headquar
ters yesterday hurled two new
charges against King Alfonso of
Spain.
The first was that he was con
spiring to supplant all the demo
cratically inclined officers of the
home forces of infantry with re
serve and gendarmerie officers
loyal to him, in order to be able
to rely upon the infantry for a
coup d’etat, making the monarchy
absolute.
The second was that, being short
of funds, his majesty recently
dumped on the Bourse two million
pesetas worth of shares of the
Madrid Subway Company, causing
a considerable flurry and making
the other stockholders lose heavily.
Ibanez explained that the king
feels he can rely on the cavalry
and artillery officers, because vir
tually all of them belong to or
are akin to the nobility, whereas
the infantry officers are commis
sioned officers.
