I just thought I'd ask your advice, Teddy dear, before I asked the Committee, and so now I'll go to see Mrs. Trenton, the President.

* Mrs. Trenton, the President of the Arts and Crafts, received Mrs. Banks' suggestion cautiously.

Mrs. Trenton always asked, Is it right? Is it wise?

It was Mrs. Trenton's extreme cautiousness that had brought her the proud distinction of being the first President of the Arts and Crafts, where it was considered necessary to temper the impetuosity of the younger members; and, besides, Mrs. Trenton never carried her doubts and fears too far.

Mrs. Banks introduced her subject by telling Mrs. Trenton that she had come to ask her advice, whereupon Mrs. Trenton laid aside the work she was doing and signified her gracious willingness to be asked for counsel.

When Mrs. Banks had carefully laid the matter before Mrs. Trenton, dwelling on the utter loneliness of the prairie woman's life, Mrs. Trenton called the Vice-President, Miss Hastings, who was an oil painter by profession, and a lady of large experience in matters of the heart.

Mrs. Trenton asked Mrs Banks to outline her plan again.

When she had finished, Mrs. Trenton asked: "Is it wiseis it kind?

I have read of it," she added in explanation, when she noticed Mrs. Trenton's look of incredulity.

Mrs. Trenton sighed, a long sigh that undulated the black lace on her capacious bosom.

" "You put it so aptly, my dear," Mrs. Trenton smiled, as she patted her pearl bracelet, Mr. Trenton's last offering on the hymeneal altar.

Trenton's pauses were a very important asset in her conversation"it requires" "Collateral," said Mrs. Banks.

" Mrs. Trenton nodded.

Mrs. Trenton, in billows of black lace and glinting jet, presided with her usual graciousness.

Mrs. Trenton, Mrs. Banks and other members of the Arts and Crafts, at a distance discussed her with pride.

Let us flit again, and just take a look at the level sheets of water and broken falls of Trenton,at the oblong, almost squared arch of the Natural Bridge,at the ruins of the Pemberton Mills, still smoking,and so come to Mr. Barnum's "Historical Series."

Of what worth would the Declaration of Independence be now, had it not been for Trenton and Princeton, Saratoga and Yorktown?

To-morrow evening I purpose to be at Trenton, the night following at Brunswick, and hope to have the pleasure of meeting you at Elizabeth Town point on Thursday at 12 o'clock.
