She is the kind of a girl Charles Wagner describes as putting "witchery into a ribbon and genius into a stew." But let us take a look at the girl who lives in the more settled parts of the country, near a town. If she be ambitious, or anxious to help the home-folk, she will want to become a teacher, a bookkeeper, Civil Service employee, or a stenographer.
From all this there was din enough to be heard among them, and the home-folk were nowise fain to come to them. Now Thorir said, "Never yet did I meet a man unknown to me, who would do us such good deeds as this man; now, what reward wilt thou take of us for thy work?"
Then bade Siegmund have cried to all his men, that he would hold a feasting with his loving kindred. The tidings thereof men brought into the lands of other kings. To the strangers and the home-folk he gave steeds and armor. Wheresoever any was found who, because of his birth, should become a knight, these noble youths were summoned to the land for the feasting.
Until he had speech with home-folk he would merely be hoping that Marian was there; but until he had speech with them he need not hear that they knew nothing of her. Bud like, however, he tried to cover his trepidation with a joke. "We'll sneak up on 'em," he said to Ed and Jerry when the roofs of house and stables came into view. "Here's where I grew up, boys.

Then the guests of the host betook them to where men bade them sit. With good cheer they refreshed them and with the very best of wine, of which one bare frill plenty. To the strangers and the home-folk was shown worship enow.
On his way to Washington, he visited Cleveland, where his westward journey had come so near an abortive ending, and then his home-folk at Canandaigua. He was but thirty years old, yet he had held five important political offices, he had risen to high rank in his profession, he was the leader of the dominant party in a great State; and all this he had done alone, unaided.
Thorir said he heeded not how women might squeal; "But," said he, "thee indeed we may set apart from the other home-folk, and methinks we may well make thee our man of trust." "See to that yourselves," said Grettir, "but certes I do not take to all men alike." Thereupon they laid aside the more part of their weapons, and thereafter Grettir said
