A great deal of laughter except when Aunt Abbey came to call Aunt Abbey was Mr. Farraday's aunt, a very rich, very unpleasant old lady who lived In an imposing granite house at the end of town.

They merely accepted her, all but Mrs. Farraday, who seemed to like having around. Curiously Aunt Abbey enough, it was of Mrs. Farraday herself that Aunt Abbey most bitterly disapproved. "My nephews wife isnt fooling me, shed say. "Always pretending to be so gay. What's she got to be happy about, I'd like to know? If my nephew had married a sensible woman, hed have amounted to something by now. "I declare, my mother said, it gives me the creeps, the way that old lady looks at Mrs. Farraday. I believe she really hates her. "She hates them all," my father said, "becai theyve got what she never had. The Farradays have contentment. All Aunt Abbey has is money, and when she's gone they'll have that, too. Only they didnt. Because when Aunt Abbey died the year Ellen arraday was nine, she left them no money at all. Her entire estate went to charity, with one exception. She left Mrs. Farraday a rug. It was an Oriental rug. exceptionally large and lovely; golden in color, satiny to the touch, starred with dusty pink flowers. "Its a shame, people said, when those children need money so. But of course they can sell the rug. It's valuable and Orientals are in vogue. Then a dealer offered Mrs. Farraday $25,000 for her rug. The town rejoiced for the Farradays. This meant college for the children and money to fix up the old house. But, to the amazement of everyone, Mrs. Farraday stubbornly refused to sell. She had always admired that rug, she said.

The weeki after the funeral Dora went back to her job in New York, and the day after she left Mrs. Farraday came to see my father about selling her rug to pay her bills. My father did his best; but this was a depression year and nobody had money now for Oriental rugs. The five thousand dollars he finally got from a dealer barely paid for Mr. Farraday's funeral and fori Mrs. Farraday's debts. Mrs. Farraday got a job at the hotel. Her salary included room and board, so that Ellen could live with her, too. It was storming hard the day they moved down there. We left them( alone and drove home through the town, passing the old Farraday house on the way. Nobody lived m it now. Tears crowded behind my lids as we drove slowly by. "They were happy in that house, my father said. "A great pity they ever moved out of it. If Aunt Abbey knew what she was doing when she made that will, then she must be laughing now m her grave. My mother suddenly. spoke That's it!" she exclaimed. She did know what she was doing. And cause my mother disapproved of Dora Farraday's new friends. Dora had always been a sweet, docile little thing, ambitious to get along. Now she had given up business school. She had even broken off her engagement to Danny Wright. Dora had a new beau now, one shed met through her "crowd." Nobody liked him, but he was rich and he gave Dora a good time. He had a weak, handsome face and a loud scoffing laugh. Id see them together as I walked home from school, dashing around town in his rakish car or going Into Vans Place for drinks. People felt sorry for Danny Wright. He'd been so crazy about Dora, and always so glad to have Skippy and Ellen around. ORA'S new beau didnt like chil dren He objected to Skippy trailing her about. Skippy was six now, very spoiled and rather a nuisance; but it seemed hardly fair to blame Dora entirely for what happened at the Elks picnic that year. Everyone Elks picnic that year.
