MOW GO OiM With THE STORY X CHAPTER 9 • IT WAS IN mid-winter that Lionel had a ietter from Mimi. They kept up a desultory corre spondence, and now and then he read a line or two to me. But this letter became mine to keep. I have it now, and so can give it, word for word, as she wrote it in her modish, angular script, on sheet after sheet of paper headed with a crest. Lionel read it to me because I happened to be in his room when it was handed to him. “Poor old Mimi,” he said, when he had fin ished. “She’s been having it out with Olga.” He laughed and leaned back in his chair. “Listen, Jerry, and see if it wouldn’t make a scene in a play.” 1 may as well confess that I trembled as he read. It was like ,her own voice speaking. She wrote very naturally and un affectedly, and she poured out her heart to him. “You see, Lion, I had to put pride in my pocket. lam to make my debut next fall, and we have to plan ahead. Mother said that I should only be asking for what was mine, if I went to Olga. And that grandfather’s heart would have been broken if he had known ( that I was to have my coming-out party in any other house but his. “I don’t want to have it there. The darling Papins have offered, land the Dana Clarks. But mother won’t hear of it. She says she jcame out in the rose ballroom, and that I must. I told her if grand father had wanted me to have jthings, he should have made a will land said so. And then she cried land insisted that Olga had influ jenced him, and that he had 'thought she would do everything for us. j “Well, anyhow, I went. Olga has been having some alterations jmade in the house, and oh, Lion, It is dreadful. The hall looks like the entrance to the Grand Opera House in Paris—stairs sweeping ftp both ways, as they do on the stage, instead of the blessed old banisters that you and I used to slide down. ! “She seemed glad to see me. I went in the afternoon, and she had tea for me. She has made grand father’s den over into a sort of Turkish Retreat. It is puffy with cushions of black and gold brocade, and she had on a teagown of pale blue .chiffon with sleeves like wings, and she looked like a plump, (blond prima donna. “I know I am prejudiced, Lion, but it was all so different in grandfather’s day. She has had a balcony built at the end of the .hall, and it overlooks a sort of wide foyer which leads into the ballroom, and there, as large as life and as lovely as the artist could make it, is my peacock por trait!” , Lionet laid down the letter. “I can just see Mimi on that balcony, and Olga. You can’t imagine two people more unlike, Jerry.” I nodded. I was breathless with interest. The whole recital seemed like something out of a book. “We leaned over the balcony, looking at the picture, and she said, in that slow way of hers, •One can’t give too much walJ- Mother and Third Set of Twins Doing Well SfiWLo^ -.• , -.?BP. u .l l 1 • • SyXMWuIUMBBLj, , , ~ .••••..: forfm, >, , £ ;cr-"- '.••• .>:• ■■•■■•;•::•; '' f; ' • :j There are six single kiddies in the happy home of Mrs. William Le Blanc, in Framingham, Mass., besides these three sets of twins.

I didn’t know she had it in her. But I flung back, ‘There’s a difference between vanity and pride.’ And she said, ‘But peacocks are vain, aren’t they?’ “Well, I was simply furious, and I wanted to tell her so. But I wasn’t there for that, so I simply said, ‘Well, I am glad he made me handsome, so that when I am old and ugly I can come back and look at it.’ “We went back then to the Turk ish Retreat, and tea came, and I talked to her. I told her how mother felt, and that I knew grandfather would have wanted it, and she said, ‘I think he would, and I will do everything to make it a success.’ And I said, Thank you, Olga,’ and that seemed to be the end of it. “But when we had finished our tea, she asked, ‘What are you go ing to do after that?’ and I said, ‘After what?’ and she said, ‘After your coming-out party?’ and I said, ‘Oh, I shan’t have to do much entertainin '; our friends will help out.’ And uhe said ‘I don’t mean that. What are you going to do when you’ve made your debut, and had a winter of dances and parties?’ and I laughed and said, ‘I suppose I’ll get married.’ “She sat looking at me, and do you know, Lion, she gave me a queer feeling, as if I were glass and transparent. . And somehow I felt small and mercenary, and frightfully frivolous, until I sud denly remembered that it is she who is mercenary and small minded, and unfair to you and to mother and me, so I stood up and said stiffly, ‘I am sure it would have pleased grandfather to know that I am to have the rose ball room,’ and she said, ‘I am sure it would please him. But you HENDERSON, (N. C.) DAILY DISPATCH FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 19, 1937 mustn’t expect too much of me,’, Mimi.’ “Lion, I felt utterly frozen when she said that. And I got out as quickly as I could, and cried right in the street, and I had to hold up my muff so that people wouldn’t see me. And when I got home, mother wasn’t there. She had gone to Aunt Bernice’s to play bridge. And so I am writing to you, or I shall simply expire from suppressed emotion. “Oh, Lion, I loved grandfather, and it hurts and hurts and hurts, to think he could have treated me like this. I was so proud of him. And the last time we were in Washington I was so happy. Oh, I wonder if I am ever going to be happy again.” It ended there, and I was torn by her distress. To think that she suffered! Lionel took it easily. “Oh, well, Mimi got what she wanted, so why should she care?” But I felt that she should care, and, indeed, when I had time to think of it all in colder blood, 1 wondered that she could *ever have asked a favor at the hands of such a woman. I contrasted the sturdy pride of my own people, which would have led us to work our fingers to the bone rather than re ceive help from one who gave it grudgingly. We called Olga, after that, “the Ogre.” We decided to put her in our play. She was to be the vil lainess and was to be overthrown in the end. “No chance of that in real life,” Lionel said, “but we can do as we please on paper.” 9 He answered the letter, and it lay for a long time in a basket on his table. At last. I carried it off. It was such a treasure, with its thin, crested paper and its cry for happiness! I knew that Lionel would not miss it, and that if he did he would think it lost. 1 should not confess my theft to him. (To Be Continued) Christian Workers THE WEEKLY SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON (The ffolfrett (Text IP i;' '' v ' : '"'v. V^ Galatians ft:9— <4 tet us not be weary in well-doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not." By DR. ALVIN E. BELL. (The International Uniform Lesson on the above topic for Nov. 21 is Acts 6:1-10; 1 Cor. 3:10-15; Gal. 6:6-10; 1 Tim. 6:11-21, especially 1 Cor. 3:10-15; Gal. 6:6-10, the Golden Text being Gal. 6:9, “Let us not be weary in well doing; for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.”) Few men in their life time have ac complished more work than the apos tle Paul accomplished in the thirty years between his conversion and his death, as preacher, teacher, traveler, organizer and pastor of churches and writer of literature of abiding interest and value. He is a worker at whose feet we all may sij, to learn how to become efficient Christian workers. Distributing the Work. Dwight L. Moodyls policy was that “it is better to getiteh"men to work than to try to men’s work.” And he assured, his own immortality by enlisting other ’workers to carry on his work froin generation to gen eration. The apostolic church was not long in learning the necessity of distribut ing the church’s work among others ihan the twelve apostles. There was v jrk that laymen could do as well or better than the already over-burden ed apostles: “Now in these days when the number of the disciples was multiplying.... the twelve called the nulti+ude of the disciples unto them, and said, “It is not fit that we should forsake the word of God, and serve tables. Look ye out therefore, bre thren, from among you seven men of good report, full of the Spirit and of wisdom, whom we may appoint over this business, but we will con tinue steadfastly in prayer, and in the ministry of the word.” Thus laymen came into their own in the priesthood of believers ana made good in the work assigned them, for we read, “The word of God increased; and the number of the disciples multiplied. ’ All Christian work begins with Christ, the Master-Worker of us all: “Other foundation can no man lay than that, which *is laid, which is Jesus Christ.” Starting with Christ and building into our own lives and the lives of others the things that are in accord with him and his teachings we are building with, the unperishable materials Paul likens to “geld, silver, costly stones”; falling here our build ing is with “Wood, hay, stubble,” which all our work must be sub jected. The Workers’ Support. But Christian wbrk and workers must be supported. By whom? By those who believe in and are benefit- 1 ed by the work, not by outsiders who have no sympathy for the work. “Let him that is taught , in'the word com municate unto him that teacheth in all good things.” Not the merchants on Main street who can bje cajoled into buying tickets to suppers and bazaars, but the people who want the preaching and teaching *for themsel ves and their children, they should support the work and the workers. By their offerings they “sow unto the Spirit, and of the Spirit reap everlast ing life.” “So then, as we have op portunity, let us work that which is good toward all men, and especially toward them that are of the house hold of faith. Advice to Workers. Paul’s advice to Christian workers is to keep themselves “without spot, without reproach until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ.” “Follow after righteousness, • godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness. Fight the good fight of the faith, lay hold on the life eternal.” Those who thus bring life into accord with their pro fession can not fail to be “rich in good works” —the oniy riches that bring abiding satisfaction. Greatness is measured not by what men do for themselves, but v/hat they do for others.
