Harriet Maxwell Converse in Home JournaL LITTLE MISS PRIM. Gray, angry looking clouds obscured the blue sky, a cold east wind blew tiny particles of snow into the faces of those persons vhe were so unfortunate as to be exposed to lie cutting blast. A warm fire and comfortable easy chair were things to be appreciated, and so thought the Laurence family as they stood or sat around the great blazing logs of hickory in-the open fireplace of the. luxurious sitting room at Pleasant Park, the old homestead of the Laurences. Harry, the eldest boy, ,a tall, bright eyed lad of 14, went to. the window that looked out upon the highway.- It was nearly school timeand troops of boys and girls were passing 6wiftly along in the direction of the " huge brick edifice, the pride of Fairmount. 'lizzie,- Johnny, come here," cried Harry, and his handsome countenance beamed with merriment as. he gazed upon the scene without. ,A lady not much taller than Lizzie the 12-year-old aister of the merry youth -fit the window, was walking, or rather trying to, for the slight figure swayed from one side of the road to the other, beaten and blown by tho high winds; and the umbrella she carried was turned inside out, while her long gray her was floating like a banner in the wintry breeze. The girl and boy ran to the pretty alcove, wtth .its snowy lace curtains looped back, showing the stand of plants bright with . bloom, and joining in the laughter caused Mr. and Mrs. Laurence to look up from their read ing to inquire the cause of so much mirth. 'Ob, mother you ought to see- the capers little Miss Prim is cutting; old Boreas makes her move lively," said Mas ter Harrv, and even his parents could hardly suppress a smile as they saw the ludicrous figure the. poor dressmaker made in her vain, endeavors to keep her feet and avoid the rude-embrace of. tho northeast- gale, "Jiminy, but . she is a scarecrow," said tittle Johnny. "Won der what she goes out such stormy days for?" ' -. - , fWhy, my son, Miss Prim is poor and is obliged to earn her own living. She has no kind papa to give her nice warm clothes, or provide her with food, as you have. It is not right to laugh at the lit tle woman, for she has a hard life of it, and is so patient and kind in every trial," and Mrs. Laurence patted the soft curls of her 6-year-old boy, mentally thanking God she and her dear ones were free from the curse of poverty. - "It is nearly 0 o'clock," cried lazzie, glancing at the huge old fashioned time piece that ticked away so musically in the cornerof the room.- "I will take Johnny with me, mother, and then one umbrella will shelter us; Harry is large enough to take care of himself.'1 So saying Lizzie arrayed herself in her warm cloak, hood and furs, looking like the pictures of Lit tle Red Riding Hood, with Hbrown eyes shining and cheeks rosy with health. Just as the threo children descended the steps to the garden the huge iron gate clanged to, and Miss Prim met them on the broad traveled walk. . "Mamma at .home, Blossom?" said the tittle lady in a cheerful tone to-Lizzie, and at the same time laughing, as she saw the half concealed smile on tho faces oi the children.- "You rogues!,',' you might just as well shout and- laugh at the funny figure I cut. . I shall not feel at all hurt. I know I am a perfect scarecrow, but no - matter, my beauty will not suffer." , And with a nod and a A,Good-by, dearies, ?? not waiting for an ms wer' to her question Miss Prim van ished within, the open doorway, and the cuudrenr hastened to school.
