The Kindly Plan Picky Pisrlosed
fo Madge.
T think the astonishment I register
ed at Dicky's announcement, satisfied
even his love of the dramatic.
"Mother going to Xorth Carolina
with I.eila and Edith!" I repeated
slowly.
"Well why not." he queried pat
ently enjoying the effect of the tiny
handgrenade he had thrown.
"Why there Isn't really any rea
son," I returned, "except that X
shouldn't think Leila would want
anybody hut her very own women
kin around at this particular time.”
"Oh Leila won't mind mother'"
Dicky said comfortably. "She isn't
Leila s inotherin-law, you know.” he
added with an Insight that I found
a hit disconcerting, "and therefore
she'll not start to run the whole
party as she would do with you, or
as Mrs. Durkee would with Leila.
Mother will simply to be a companion
for Aunt Dora Paige during the ex
citing event, and you know how
much they like each other.”
Does Mother Know?"
I nodded assentingly, for Dicky and
I often had smiled over the odd and
strong friendship which had grown
steadily between the two elderly wo
men ever since their first meeting at
the time of Leila's wedding to Alfred.
Aunt Dora, an unreconstructed
daughter of the old regime in the
south, and Mother Graham, an
equally sturdy representative of the
north, smothered their prejudices,
heroically refrained from any ex
pression which might wound or dis
please the other, and enjoyed each
other's companionship immensely,
“Does mother know she's going?”
I asked demurely.
Dicky grinned.
"Xot yet, but soon." he intoned.
"Alf and T fixed it all up between
us when I saw him yesterday, and
Leila's going to call mother up today
and give the formal Invitation. I
meant to have told you before, but I
forgot It. I'm surprised she hadn't
telephoned before, but we'll probably
get a ring any minute.”
I looked at him wonderlngly, and
decided that be really had no idea
of the absurdity of his arrangement
with Alfred. Luckily, both Aunt Dora
Paige and Edith Fairfax possess com
mon sense as well as a sense of
humor, and Leila is so much in love
with her husband tiiat almost every
thing lie savs is gospel to her. But
I know if Mother Graham suspected
her Invitation had been arranged In
such harum scarum masculine fash

amended hastely. rising and moving
toward the telephone.
"Coward! coward!" Dicky chanted,
w-ith th$ time honored childish ges
ture of sliding his forefinger across
his accusing left.
“Oh! I admit it!” I returned with
an impudent moue at him, and then
Leila's voice with the delicious south
ern drawl w'hich she never has lost,
came over the wire to me.
"Oh, Madge, dear! I'm so glad to
hear your voice!" she said. "I sup
pose you all know’ about the plan
Dicky and Alf have fixed up about
Mother Graham."
"Dicky has just told me,” I said.
“Are you sure-"
"Isn't it perfactly splended?" she
interrupted enthusiastically. "I'm
just crazy about it, only we’ve got
to plan so that your mother-inlaw
won't suspect the boys thought of it.
We wired Aunt Dora a long telegram
and we've just had one back from
her—a most cordial invitation Just
as if she had thought of it first.
Shall I read it to you?"
I had answered the telephone from
the upstairs branch in my room, but
just at this second I heard a click in
my ear which told n^ that someone
had taken down the receiver in the
hall below. Either Katie was grati
fying her curiosity or Mother Graham
herself—in sudden panic, I spoke
quickly, abruptly: "I’ll call mother
quickly, abruptly: "I’ll call Mother
to the telephone right away, and you
can read the telegram to her. Just
hold the, wire."
Before I could turn back to Dlckj’
and send him for his mother, who, I
was afraid, was still furously angry
with me. I heard in the receiver her
calm assured voice, royally contemp
tuous of any accusation of eavesdrop
ping which I might justly have
brought against her.
"I am on the telephone down stairs,
Margaret. Who is it that wishes to
speak to me. and what is this about
a telegram?"
