I saw of her she was waving her hand-
kerchief, and smiling the kind of a
smile that’s worse than crying right
out loud. Mother's always like that.
No matter how bad she feels, at the
last minute she comes up bright and
smiling, and just as brave as can be.
It was heaps of fun to be grown up
and traveling alone! I sat back in
my seat and wondered and wondered
what the next six months were going
to be like. And I wondered, too, if
I'd forgotten how to be "Mary."
"Dear me! How shall I ever re-
member not to run and skip and laugh
loud or sing, or ask questions, or do
anything that Marie wants to do?" I
thought to myself. And I wondered if
Aunt Jane would meet me, and what
she would be like. She came once
when I was a little girl, Mother said;
but I didn’t remember her.
Well, at last we got to Anderson-
ville. John was there with the horses,
and Aunt Jane, too. Of course I knew
she must be Aunt Jane, because she
was with John. The conductor was
awfully nice and polite, and didn’t
leave me till he’d seen me safe in the
hands of Aunt Jane and John. Then
he went back to his train, and the next
minute it had whizzed out of the sta-
tion, and I was alone with the begin-
ning of my next six months.

smile, and a “Glad to see ye home,

• ... she also tells her reasons

“tndersonville. Mary begins with
Nurse Sarah's account of her
Mary’s) birth, which seemingly in-
terested her father, who is a fa-
mo us astronomer, less than a new
Star which was discovered the same
nint. Her name is a compromise;
her mother wanted to call her Viola
and her father insisted on Abigail
Jane The child quickly learned
that her home was in some way
different from those of her small
friends, and was puzzled thereat.
Nurse Sarah tells her of her moth’
er‛s arrival at Andersonville as a
bride and how astonished they all
were at the sight of the dainty
eighteen-year-old girl whom the
sedate professor had chosen for a
wife. Nurse Sarah makes it plain
why the household seemed a strange
one to the child and how her father
and mother drifted apart througli
misunderstanding, each too proud
to in any way attempt to smooth
over the situation. Mary tells of
the time spent “out West" where
the “perfectly all right and genteel
and respectable” divorce was being
arranged for, and her mother's (to
her) unaccountable behavior. By the
court's decree the child is to spend
six months of the year with her
mother and six months with her fa-
ther. Boston is Mother’s home.
Mary describes her life as Marie
with her mother in Boston and
about her mother’s “prospective
suitors."
mean, the righteously indignant kind
of mad—for I can’t help thinking how
poor Mother would have loved those
extra days with her.
Aunt Jane said I was to have my
old room, and so, as soon as I got here,
I went right up and took off my hat
and coat, and pretty quick they
brought up my trunk, and I unpacked
it; and I didn’t hurry about it, either.
I wasn't a bit anxious to get down-
stairs again to Aunt Jane. Besides,
I may as well own up, I was crying-
a little. Mother’s room was right
across the hall, and it looked so lone-
some, and I couldn’t help remember-
ing how different this homecoming
was from the one in Boston, six
months ago.
In the morning I went up to the
schoolhouse. I planned it so as to get
there at recess, and I saw all the girls
except one that was sick, and one that
was away. We had a perfectly lovely
time, only everybody was talking all
at once so that I don’t know now what
was said. But they seemed glad to see
me. I know that. Maybe I’ll go to
school next week. Aunt Jane says
she thinks I ought to, when it’s only
the first of May. She's going to speak
to Father when he comes next week.
She was going to speak to him
about my clothes; then she decided to
attend to those herself, and not bother
him. She doesn't like my dresses. She
came into my room and asked to see
my things. My! But didn't I hate to
show them to her? Marie said she
wouldn’t; but Mary obediently trotted
to the closet and brought them out
one by one.
Aunt Jane turned them around with
the tips of her fingers, all the time
sighing and shaking her head. When
I'd brought them all out, she shook
her head again and said they would
not do at all—not in Andrsonvillei
that they were extravagant, and much
too elaborate for a young girl; that
she would see the dressmaker and ar-
range that I had some serviceable
blue and brown serges at once.
Blue and brown serge, indeed! But,
there, what's the use? I'm Mary now.
I keep forgetting that; though I don t
see how I can forget It—with Aunt
Jane around.
But, listen. A funny thing happened
this morning. Something came up
about Boston, and Aunt Jane asked
me a question. Then she asked an
other and another, and she kept me
talking till I guess I talked 'most a
whole half-hour about Grandpa 59
mond. Aunt Hattie, Mother, and the
house, and what we did, and. on. 4
whole lot of things. And here, Jus
two days ago, she was telling me a
she wasn't interested in Grandpa Des-
mond, his home, or ids daughter, or ,
anything that was his! ,
There's something funny about
Aunt Jane.___________ <
