"But this is our house," returned the mistress of" it, "and we are not debarred from choosing our own amusements." "It's a pity you ain't," came from the top step. "When any one ain't satisfied with two hours' pickin' out 'Keep the Home Fires Burning' with two fingers on a pianna that ain't re liable, it's high time somebody inter fered an' told you them fires had got to be dampened down a bit.
