No Third Mrs. Perry
“She is not the same sort as your
first wife, Henry," said Mrs. Perry,
with an ominous closing of her upper
lip over the lower one.
Mrs. Perry ealled herself a devout
Christian. All through the country
she was held in estimation as one of
the salt of the earth, comforting be
side a siok-bed, efficient in a neglected
household, and welcome everywhere
And when Alice May came tc the old
homestead, as her son’s second wife,
she naturally looked up with reveren
tial afieotiou to the venerable, white-
capped old lady.
“Sweetheartthe young husband
had said, looking fondly into the eyes
of his bride, as they stood under the
blossoming boughs of the quince trees
on the soft May night when first he
broaght her home, “do you think yon
can be happy here ?”
“Ob, Harry!”. The young wife had
replied, “it is like a little paradise."
But Mrs. Henry Perry soon fonnd
oat that Lilac Farm was something
more practical than her ideas of para
dise. ,
“Don’t know how to churn!’’ said
Mrs. Perty, Senior/in amazement.—
"Why, Alice, where were you brought
up ? Hurry’s first wife thought noth
ing of churning twenty pounds of but
ter of a morning, beside doing all the
housework: and getting breakfast for
ftmrHiftitoden.”'
Alice coiored to tjie^very roots of
her luxuriant chestnut-brown hair.
“I know nothing about oouhtry,
dear Mrs. Perry,” she said, for she
was too shy to use the tender term
“mother,” unless by the special invi
tation which had not been accorded.
'T was educated, yon know, at a
boarding.school; after I graduated I
taught school until I met Henry
and—’.’
"I dare say,” said Mrs. Perry, dry
ly; "bnl if you are going to be a
farmer’s wifo it is high time yon ac
quainted yourself with some of the du
ties perluining to your position. My
son's first wife, now, was a model.”
Alice looked eagerly up.
“Flense, Mrs. Perry,” said she,
“tell iue v.Lmt Hhe used to do. Of
course. 1 more had no experience,
but—
“Well,” said Mrs. Perry, looking
up to the top fringe of the curtains
and tonching the tips of her finger re
flectively together, “sho had a faculty,
Dorothy hud. She was a famous cook.
She baked fresh pies every dBy, for
no one eau be expected to like stale
pies. Her hot breakfast biscuits were
like flakes of snow, and we mostly had
waffles for supper, with honey and
fresh apple sauce. Sho always got up
at 4 o’clook of a Monday morning to
do the wusbng. Henry's shirts hare
never been the same sinoe Dorothy
was removed. And I wish yon could 1
have seen her.iropipgs. The sewing
circle met here once a month, and tbo
teas Dorothy got np were the talk of
the neighborhood. And there was a
Sister of Industry meeting here once
a fortnight, and the Singers’ Sympo
sium every other Friday. She was a
noble hearted Christian, Dorothy
was! And then she did all the fami
ly sewing. She could not reconcile
it to her own conscience and her hus
band’s income, she said ‘to hire snch
work done."’
And Alice, who bod committed tbo
enormity of having a dress made by
a dressmaker, colored scarlet and
hung her head.
“Then at bntchering time,” pro
ceeded relentless Mrs. Perry, Senior,
“Dorothy always made the tripe and
sausage-meat and corned the hams
herself; and she denned nouse four
times a year. She was a master-band
at quilting, and she always made her
own bonnets. A woman can savo so
much for her husband in that way
As for the butter and cheese, I think,
if she had not died so suddenly, poor
thing, that she could have beaten any
record in the country.”
Alice sighed deeply. How could
she, a slender, inexperienced girl of
twenty, hope to cope with these mar-
marvelous attainments ?
“Henry never told me all this,”
said she.
T suppose he has thought of it
many a time,” suid Mrs. Perry, Sen
ior. “But perhaps he didn't like to
allude to it while you was playing’ on
your melodeon and reading yonr
books. Dorothy never got any time
to read 1”
"But if yon’ll teach me,”, pleaded
Alice, "I will do my best to learn.”
She looked the melodeon, put away
the books and portfolio and her bas
ket of fancy needle-work, and sot her
self resolutely to work to fill the place
of the departed Dorothy.
“Why, what a little house-wife you
are,” said Henry, laughing, when she
showed him the tray of golden butter
that she had churned, and succeeded
in burning her fingers at the ironing
fire and reducing her pretty complex
ion to scarlet in cooking buckwheat
cakes for breakfast.
“I want to be one,” said Alice, wist
fully.
She out up squares of bright-col
ored calico into patch-work, she stud
ied the cookery-book until her head
ached, she caught a heavy cold work
ing over batter in the damp dairy-
house, and sprained her wrist wash
ing clothes, which, after all, looked
’dim and dirty. She rose early and
went to bed late; she counted eggs,
mixed np whitewash, made herself
sick chopping np sausage meat, and
strained her baok lifting a kettle of
pickles off the fire, and still she strove
resolutely on.
“I should like to do just what Dor
othy did,” she said to herself. “I
don’t think Henry is quite pleased
when I am so busy in the kitchen of
an evening that I cannot spare time
to come in and hoar him read the Wa-
verly novels aloud. And my feet
ached bo this morning with the cream
skimming that I could not walk with
him to the haying ground. Bnt I am
doing my duty, and that ought to be
reward enough 1”
That same afternoon, however,
poor Alico was foroed to flee to her
own room with a sick headache and
seek the refuge of her pillow. There
Mrs John Bonney, a cheerful lit
tle neighbor, fonnd her.
“Sick are yon?” asked Mrs. Bon
ney.
Tax not very well,” acknowledged
Alice.
“Ah,” said Mrs. Bonney, “I thought
!”
“What do you mean?” asked Alice.
“Why, you’ve been killing yourself
by inches 1” said Mrs. Bonney, “as
fast as yon could. I’ve seen it alL—
I’m not yonr next door neighbor for
nothing 1”
I am trying to do my duty,"
pleaded Alice, with filling eyes. “I
am trying to be like my husband's
first wife!”
“Fiddlesticks 1” said Mrs. Bonney.
‘Like Dorothy Parker indeed! Why
she was nothing on earth but a house
hold drudge, and finally drudged her
self to death, without anybody being
particularly sorry for her. She never
visited, she never read, she never kept
up with the progress of life’s march
around her. Any machine could have
filled her place.”
“Mrs. Bonney, y<m ought not to
talk so,” said Mrs. Perry, uneasily.
“It’s the truth," said Mrs. Bonney.
“However, do us yon pleuse. It’s
privilege which people generally
claim, I have observed; kill yourself
if you like. Perhaps the third Mrs.
Perry will be a little more sensible.”
So Mrs. Bonney put the bouquet of
tea-rose buds, which she had brought,
into water, and tripped laughingly
home, while Alice, clasping her hands
over her throbbing temples, tried to
ask herself, which was right, hersell
or Mrs. Bonney, and in which direc
tion her path of duty really and actu
ally lay.
And it was at this critical moment
that she heard the nasal, monotonous
voice of her mother-in-law dowu stairs
talking to her husband, and uttering
the sentence which opens our sketch.
“She ain’t the same sort as your
first wife, Henry," said Mrs. Perry.
Senior, “and she never will bo, let her
try as she will. She hasn’t got the
faculty, you see.”
"She lay there quite still and quiet,
with closed eyes. She never opened
them when Henry Perry himself tip
toed into the room, and, believing ber
asleep tiptoed oat again, mattering to
himself:
“Poor little daisy, she is entirely
done up!”
The next morning, however, Alice
rose and dressed herself with care.
“Bless me,” said Mrs. Perry, Sr.,
where aro you going, Alice?”
“To the village,” answered Alice
“What lor,” cross-questioned the
elder matron. . , V. , , (1
“To engage a dress-maker and
seamstress first, said Mrs. Perry, Jr.,
“and to got a strong girl to do the
bonse-work next.”
“A girl!” soreamed the old la
dy. “Dorothy never—”
"No,” said Alice; “I know sho nev
er kept a servant. But Dorothy
cleaned and churned and swept her
self out of the world. Fve no inten
tion of settling my own career in that
sort of way. I find that I can’t do
the work of this farm myself without
breaking down my health, nnd shut
ting myself ont of the world of books
and science. I do not think my hus
band desires snch a sacrifice—”
“Of coarse I don’t,” said Henry,
promptly. “The house has been as
lonely as a convent since you buried
yourself in the kitchen and dairy. I
married yon for a companion, not a
drudge. Have half a dozen servants,
if yon like, Alice, only let us have
books and music and pleasant wood
land walks again.”
TJiank yon, dearest!” said Alice,
as she kissed bis forehead.
Mrs- Perry, Sr., rolled up her eyes
and clasped her hands, und declared
eotto voce she didn’t know what this
world was coming to.
Mrs. Bonney was feeding chickens
at her own door when Alice Perry
returned from her walk to the village.
Are you better?” asked tbiB young
red republican, smiling cordially.
‘Thanks,” Alice answered, “I am
much better. I have just engaged a
sewing woman and a stout Swedish
servant girl to do the house-work at
the farm. I am no longer ambitions
to do all that Dorothy did. ”
And Mrs. Bonney waved her snn
bonnet in the air, and exclaimed:
‘Bravo! There will be uo third
Mrs. Perry after all."
And her words were prophetic
Mr. Editor: Will yon please tell mo
who was “David’s wife’s mother ?”—
Certainly, with pleasure. David’s
wife’s motuer was David’s mother-in-
law.
