Homos to see certain phases of American life at close range, and he couldn't possibly see them under better auspices than yours, Camp." "Yes, I'm going to drive him through the hill country after haying, and then I'm going to take him down and show him one of our big factory towns." I believe this was done, but finally the Altrurian went on to New York, where he was to pass the winter.
"Yes, that may all be," I put in. "But it seems to me that you give Mr. Homos, somehow, a wrong impression of our economic life by your generalizations. You are a Harvard man yourself." "Yes, and I am not a rich man. A million or two, more or less; but what is that?
"Gone?" "Yes; gone West. They've left the old place, because they couldn't make a living here any longer." "Why, this is quite a case in point," I said. "Now, Mr. Homos, here is a chance to inform yourself at first hand about a very interesting fact of our civilization"; and I added, in a low voice, to Mrs. Makely: "Won't you introduce us?" "Oh yes. Mr. Camp, this is Mr.
Homos is a perfect dear, and all the women in the house are in love with him, from the cook's helpers, up and down. No, the only danger is that there won't be room in the hotel parlors for all the people that will want to hear him, and we shall have to make the admission something that will be prohibitive in most cases. We shall have to make it a dollar."
"And you know how fond I am of you all!" Mrs. Camp wore a bewildered look. "Perhaps we have said more than we ought. But I couldn't help it, and I don't see how the children could, when you asked them here, before Mr. Homos." I glanced at the Altrurian, sitting attentive and silent, and a sudden misgiving crossed my mind concerning him.
The word "glory" the word which has to bear the weight of holding those "impressed forces" is a stranger in current speech, and our first duty is to seek out its equivalent in working English. It suggests at first a radiance of some kind, something dazzling or glittering, some halo such as the old masters loved to paint round the head of their Ecce Homos.
Reuben Camp broke out: "That was my blunder, Mr. Twelvemough. Mr. Homos and I had talked it over conditionally, and I was not to speak of it till he had told you; but it slipped out in the excitement of the moment." "Oh, it's all right," I said, and I shook hands cordially with both of them. "It will be the greatest possible advantage for Mr.
Homos would most disapprove of. He says that in Altruria they would consider exercise for exercise' sake a wicked waste of force and little short of lunacy." I thought my exaggeration might provoke him to denial, but he seemed not to have found it unjust. "Why, you know," he said to Mrs.
"You wouldn't like the smoking, Dolly." "Nor the stories, some of them," she retorted. "Oh, the stories are always first-rate," he said, and he laughed more than before. "And they never gossip at the clubs, Mr. Homos never!" she added. "Well, hardly ever," said her husband, with an intonation that I did not understand. It seemed to be some sort of catch-phrase. "All I know," said Mrs.
"MY DEAR MR. HOMOS, Will you give me the pleasure of your company at dinner, on Thanksgiving-day, at eight o'clock, very informally. My friend, Mrs. Bellington Strange, has unexpectedly returned from Europe within the week, and I am asking a few friends, whom I can trust to excuse this very short notice, to meet her. With Mr. Makely's best regards, Yours cordially, DOROTHEA MAKELY.
