Your Grace, we would be pleased to hear from you." "I don't know," said Grandma Elliott, looking rather seriously into the smiling faces before her, "that I am entirely in favour of the country home.

I think our Patty would greatly enjoy the city atmosphere.

She is a schoolgirl now, but in a year or two she will be a young woman, and one well deserving of the best that can be given to her.

I am city-bred myself, and though at my age I prefer the quiet of the country, yet for a young girl I well know the charm of a city life.

Of course, we would all regret the loss of our Patty, who has grown to be a part of our daily life, but, nevertheless, were I to vote on this matter, I should unhesitatingly cast my ballot in favour of New York." "Bravo for grandma!" cried Frank.
