"For What We Are
About To Deceive"
BY MILDRED HOUGHTON COMFORT.
PART L
Sarah Burton bowed her heal me-
chanical1y while her husband said
grace, with her left hand patting the
eager baby in the high chair, who,
mistaking her overtures for play,
crowed happily; and, with her right,
admonishing into quiet her son who
sat tilted forward on the chair that j
was uncomfortable for his short little
legs beating a tattoo on the nearest
table leg. She raised her eyes slight-
ly, a signal for her daughter to drop
her hands demurely into her lap.
Then carie hr husband's voice, its
crisp, business -like quality deepening
unconsciously into the sonorous tones
her father had always used when he
said grace.
"For what we are about to receive,
0 Lord, make us duly thankful.
Amen."
Such a short little prayer but the
one touch of old-fashioned form that
she had insisted on carrying over into
her new Iife when she had left the
solid, square paternal home for the
uncertain proteotion of Samuel Bur-
ton. Sam had come under the censure
of Old Josiah Wells because of a pro-
clivity for wandering into untried
paths and also because of a belief
that somewhere, irthe outside world,
lay glamorous opportunity. This was
the very reason for his attractiveness
to Sarah. The idea of leaving her
home town in which she had been
born and bred had stirred her roman-
tic imagination. This imagination,
inherited from generations of pion-
eers, was as wholesome as it was
searching. Not so much the hectic
desire for experience actuated her as
the hope, that somewhere in the out-
side wowed was to be found the ideal
home for her and Sam.
The children broke into shrill chat-
tering as the "grace" closed and the
patriarchal voice of Sam again re-
gained its crispness. He heaped the
mealy whiteness of a baked potato on
Junior's plate, meanwhile shoving to -

ly she stopped .eating and abruptly
charged into her subject. ' •
"Sam, what's what's the matter with xis? i
I've been thinking ever since you said
grace that if we really believed, we
wouldn't be fussing about the future,"
"You're responsible for this faith `
business, my dear, When you married
your relatives' ideas.eertainly dif-
fered from'yburs as to what you were
about to receive."`
You In n't joke about serious,
religious things, Sam dear."
"It Was no joke,"
Sarah laughed, then sobered..
"I have faith in the future, Sam,.
she announced, "but sometimes suc-
cess seems a long way off. While
we're waiting, I want to be happy, ..
The hard part is being duly thankful
for what we have—and for what we
expect is coming to us."
Junior had slipped down from his
-chair and was staring ;out into the
twilight • his nose pressed against the
glass. Be'"raised a sudden war whoop.
"It's snowin', mama. I can see it
comin' down by the street light."
Sam and his wife' rose, Sarah hold-
ing the sleepy baby quietly against
her and >ease putting his arms about
the shoulders of Margot and Junior.
They peeked through the window at
the yeleste` blot of light outside. Big

-The Clever Beaver.
Sitting upon the bank of a 'Columbia
River slough, I observed. two beavers
making their way from the water's
edge up a beaver slide and back to a
small clump of willows. They: selected
a willow about six inches in circum-
ference and immedisi.tely began cue
ting with their sharp, chisel -like teeth.
Within two hours the tree fell and
thea ons of the animals began to cut
off a section of the about four
feet Itrunk ru k u length while ,the other rested,
sitting upon the log. In one-half hour
the task of cutting the log in two was
half completed, and the beaver` that
had been resting took up the task
while the oiie that had been working
rested, and within the next half-hour.
the log was severed completely. Then
a strange thing happened; eve of the,
beavers stood upright, braced its body
with its Stift tail, and made a peculiar
whistling sound. Directly i:o more
beavers joined them, coming from
some distance down the slough.
After .holding a short consultation,
they all, pitched In and began to turn
the log about so that it was parallel
with the slough. Then they -began
rolling .it just as nicely as any • crew
of men could have done. It was' in-
deed a, curious and ,interesting sight.
Those four animals got behind the
heavy- willow log: find pushed;with
their fore paws, and, over and over,
rolled the heavy timber till splash, its

Etiquette in Persia.
The Persians are exceedingly gen
erous with money, says Mr. Thomas
Pearson in Asia, but they are miserly
enough in matters of prestige:. You
have to go to Persia to learn the true
meaning of that Word. I have heard
it variously- used all my life, but no-
where is it fraught with such ewful
meaning as in Persia. .The proper
seating of guests at table, for example,
becomes a 'problem before which even
the most valiant quail. Ie. Persia in-
fluence and prestige cluster around
the centre of the board; those seated
at the ends may oonsider themselves
lucky to have been invited at all. A
guest ,quite properly resents being
seated below some one whom he con-
siders his inferior and often prefers
to, remain at home rather -than submit
to the indignity. The proper way to
prepare a room for receiving Persians
is to place chairs around the room side
by side, with their backs to the walls.
In front of the chairsthere should be
little tables, possibly" one table for
every four chairs, and on the tables
should be fruit and sweets. No one
ever disturbs the artistic arrangement
of fruits and sweets, but they are es-
sential to the setting of a banquet. At
intervals you will send large trays fill-
ed with cups of tea about the room..
The fleet guests arrive, and, having
greeted the host, who sits near the
door, they make their way to a far
corner, where they sit down and spend
the first,, few minutes in taking in
every detail of the room and of its fur-
nishings, Then. they begin to talk
with-etheir neighbors. At intervals
more guests come in, and the chairs
are filled. Half the fun of a Persian
party is watching the other felloer.
come in. Persians have an interesting
habit et remaining °seated when a per-
son enters the room, but of bowing
and smiling and half rising after the
newcomer has taken his chair. The
latter acknowledges the courtesy by
half rising in unison with the crowd.
the moment he has touched his chair.
This procedure passes the time ad-
mirably if you know the game and
-keep' your wits about you. Thus, when
a personage enters the room, every
one bows and smiles and hat a per-
fectly heavenly time, but when an In-
conspicuous somebody comes in every
one is deep in conversation' with his
neighbor and pretends ho does not see.
Once, after some Local disaster, a
meeting ofpublic-spirited citizens was
called for three o'clock to subscribe
funds for relief of the victims. I pre-
sented myself at what seemed to me
to be the proper time. I was•.the first
to arrive and was ushered out upon a
terrace overlooking a famous garden..
Around the terrace stood an impres-
sive array of chairs and tables. In date
course other persons. arrived and
chose seats as seemed best to. them.
At half past six the most important
personage arrived, and the meeting
was called to order. . .After a few Ap-

the occasion was taken up. A fine
book was passed around on a cushion,

The accompanist has anxieties
which audiences., engrossed` by the
solo performer, little realize. Many
are the difficulties and dangers avoid-
ed by the swift manoeuvring of the
man at the piano; and distasters are
often escaped only by his capacity to
tide over awkward moments. Sone -
times his task is beyond him, however.
