In six months the frightened girl had changed her boarding-place four times, hoping that the men would not be able to follow her. She was also obliged constantly to look for a cheaper place, because the dull season in the cloak-making trade came early that year.
One day, in the middle of October, the mail brought Polly two letters: the first from Edgar, who often dashed off cheery scrawls in the hope of getting cheery replies, which never came; and the second from Mrs. Bird, who had a plan to propose. Edgar wrote: . . . "I have a new boarding-place in San Francisco, a stone's throw from Mrs.
After attending my school a few days he invited me to go to his boarding-place to spend the night, as he wished me to write a letter for him. I found his history was a sad one. He was sold from his wife and four little children to satisfy a heavy debt. The master tried to reason with him, and the man he owed would not take any of his slaves but him.
At half-past nine, he rose, and said half-regretfully, "I wish you were going to live in the village this winter, Mr. Morton." The young man smiled. "Such is my intention, Frank," he said quietly. "Shall you stay?" said Frank joyfully. "I suppose you will board here?" "I should prefer a quieter boarding-place. Can you recommend one?" Frank hesitated. "Where," continued Mr.
Besides, he felt the call of youth in his nature, and he longed to get away from it all and fill his life with those things that his heart craved to do. At last he decided that he was wasting his time trying to stay in the turmoil, and abruptly left his father's home. Going to town he obtained a boarding-place and settled down to work.

A few minutes' walk brought the party to their boarding-place. When Mrs.

Bowers looked up languidly from his desk where he had begun to go over a pile of letters. "What's the matter with the Studio Club? Been fighting with them again?" "The Club's all right for people who like to live that way. I don't."
You had better pack a suit-case, for you possibly may not be able to get back to your boarding-place." So it was to happen now! Phyllis felt, with her substitute in her place, her own wraps on, and her feet taking her swiftly towards her goal, as if she were offering herself to be made a nun, or have a hand or foot cut off, or paying herself away in some awful, irrevocable fashion.
But in such things as rehanging the pictures, deciding on a summer boarding-place, taking a seaside cottage, repapering rooms, choosing seats at the theatre, seeing what the children ate when she was not at table, shutting the cat out at night, keeping run of calls and invitations, and seeing if the furnace was dampered, he had failed her so often that she felt she could not leave him the slightest discretion in regard to a flat.
Unfortunately this is often impossible, and then it becomes the more essential to seek for a boarding-place where we may get a little of the cheer of other people's children and at the same time practice some of the virtues which children always call out in older people. No home is truly homelike in which there is not a large hospitality.
