bound to affect our own household. The great increase of students had outstripped the housing-provisions on the campus and made the building of new dormitories imperative. Outside houses were numerous, some of them filled by invitation and occupied by seniors who secured chaperons and managed expenses. It was difficult to insure the keeping of rules, although heads of houses did their best to cooperate with the administration; social rivalries threatened the democracy which had been strong at Smith College since its earliest days. Most of all, however, it had become clear that so large an in- stitution demanded further centralization and regulation, as a stronger backing for the student-government which was answering more and more effectively to the demands made upon it. The presi- dent and alumnae were convinced that there should be campus- accommodation for every student of the college, with uniform laws and privileges. The heads of private houses were already contem- plating this eventuality and were beginning to make plans accord- ingly. I had long expected the change and heartily appreciated the need for it.
But the idea of turning our time-honored mansion into an apart- ment-house was hopeless. Even the resourceful builder who had solved such problems hitherto, could realize it. The great central chimney stood like an obstinate giant in the way of all plans, and could not be blue-printed out of the foreground; the low rooms and narrow halls were prohibitive; the heating-apparatus and plumbing unadaptable. A faculty-house, too, was out of the reckon- ing, since for the most part the older teachers were settling in apart- ments, and the younger ones in small groups. Yet for a valuable landmark with so many historic associations, to be pulled down and done away with, seemed a cruel sacrifice. I knew that I must give up my work before long, and take an extended rest from care, but I did not know how to bring that about. All this was the problem of so many other women that one could not talk about it nor com- plain, but it underlay the bright life at "109" for months, until at last I gained courage to take my anxieties to President Neilson, whose large-heartedness and kindness brought it to a settlement; the college would by the house at the terms I offered, as a "going

concern," furniture and all, and set me free to drop all burdens, finding a substitute even before the end of the season, if I felt I must give up at once.
It was clear that this plan would be best. I had six weeks in which to go through garret and cellar, ridding them of the accumu- lations of years; at the farm, that time was used in making necessary alterations, putting in a furnace, and otherwise preparing the Phelps house for residence in cold weather. It was better to keep busy than to allow too much leeway to one's emotions, for now and then presentiments of a great lack and emptiness in my life came to me darkly. To live without the tonic of association with youth; the swift motion, the eagerness, the mirth, the welcoming faces, the flash of a gay good-morning, the knock at one's door for a good- night; how could one keep young and hopeful in spirit, failing those daily confidences and reminders? In late afternoon there would still be a soft light over Paradise Pond, groups coming up from the boat-house, crossing the street, loitering on the sidewalk, with sound of laughter and hurrying steps along the porchway; I should picture it many, many times and long to be with my children of the college; but it would be part of a vanished past. Unless, per- chance-and that was always a bright thought -- I might live to go back into it all as an onlooker, some day, and see, in the personal- ities of their daughters, what sort of mothers my girls had made; that vision restored my courage and shed a hopeful light upon the immediate prospect (which after all was not a gloomy one) with its promise of rest, and time, and freedom from care. It would be much easier to have the parting come when my girls left for their vacation, with plans ahead and home-coming a joyous anticipation. I made much of the fact that I should be only six miles away and easy to reach, and that they would always find me at the farm, whither they had often gone for a night's camping-out on the hillside or a day's picnicing in the woods. I bade them farewell when the day of spring closing came, with its usual excitement. As the baggage-men were tramping through the Hilarium and up the stairs, an open- faced, cordial young fellow stopped for a moment.
"They tell me you're going away," he said. "I'm sorry about

that, 'cause you've let us set the victrola going when we carried up the big trunks; it makes it so much easier, you know. I hope the next one will do that too." I felt a regret and a heart-warming both together; it was one of the nicest goodbyes I had.
By two o'clock the few belongings of my own which were to go with me were gathered in a lower room. There was no necessity for keeping my helpers, and I did not want to prolong the parting, for they were loyal friends, and we had worked together with satisfac- tion and affection; they, too, had pleasant vacation-plans. When they were gone, and I was alone in the empty house, there was time for a long letter to Archie, who was to come up to the farm for the week-end, and to my sister Molly; part of the plan was that she should spend the rest of the season with me, and we hoped very much that Arria would come back to us before another Christmas.
At five o'clock I went to meet the treasurer of the college for a final business transaction-the sale of the house. I have dim recol- lections of a shady office, of some pleasant gentlemen, of signing ny name once or twice on dotted lines pointed out to me, of shaking hands rather formally and cordially. Then I came out into the sunny street, without the faintest idea what I should do next. I ran into my friend Mrs. Sleeper. We had met crises of various descrip- tions together in the course of the years, and I felt that Fate had led her to the spot.
"Well!" she said. "Have you been finishing up the business- part?"
"I certainly have," said I. "I haven't a debt in the world, nor a care, nor a single thing to bother about. And I've a queer, light- headed feeling, as if my feet weren't really on the ground; anı I walking straight?"
She laughed. "You can't fly just yet."
"Will you come and have supper with me somewhere, and then -- we'll see what we can do."
"I know. Let's go to the moving pictures. In the college vacation, you know, they always have some play that the country people like. Tonight it's a revival of The Old Homestead. The place will be crowded, so we'll get there early and talk till it begins."

ON THE STOOP AT FORTY ACRES
"Perfect. It's restful, at a picture show, like lying on the deck of a steamer; no past and no future, no regrets and no plans."
We supped at The Manse, and talked of dress-making, of city planning, of Bertrand Russell. We lingered over our coffee. At the theatre there was indeed a crowd of people, from all the neighbor- ing villages; men, women and children. "Not an intellectual in sight," we observed to one another. We laughed with them at every joke; for all I know, wept with them in tragic scenes. After it we had a pleasant walk home, and I left my comrade at her door and let my- self into my silent dwelling for the last time, and fell asleep, not in the west room which was now swept and garnished for my successor, but in an east chamber, with windows open to the sunrise.
ON THE STOOP AT FORTY ACRES. July 15, 1936
I have come over here to look at the sunset. The long gallery is empty, for the inhabitants are away. In the west, a sinking sun is still above the crisp horizon-line; the luminous green of the ineadows stretches to a shining river, beyond it is the white spire of Hatfield's meeting-house, with its gilded vane and the long line of elin-shaded roofs. This place is still, yet now there are moving fig- ures here and there. Two young people who have just stepped out from between the willows, with oars over their shoulders, are George and Arria; they are coming up from the boat, marching in the old hexameter-rhythm which our brothers taught us when we were children. I can see Arria's blue boating-dress, and the straw hat pushed back from her forehead. They pause a moment under a huge elm which Father called the perfect wine-cup; its branches still droop in graceful symmetry.
A lithe fourteen-year old girl with a crop of curly brown hair for all the world like that of her next-older brother, swings herself down from the gnarled branch of an apple-tree. It is Molly, and she lands in a clump of wild tiger-lilies, soft red and orange, which have

always grown on that orchard-bank; they were never allowed in the garden where grander blooms were tended and favored, so they have kept aloof for a hundred years and more, and make a tall back- ground for the slight figure. Molly, the shy, the keen, the daring critic, the amused looker-on!
Our father and mother, two white-haired people, are walking between the rows of hollyhocks, farther back. They stand now, look- ing upward at a flock of circling swallows in the midst of their mystic sunset-dance. Already, one by one, the swallows drop and disappear into the unused chimney over the ell. At the window sits Aunt Bethia, remote, self-abnegating; her face, with the long upper lip, the high cheek-bones and brilliant eyes, a replica of the countenance of her grandmother Betsey Phelps. Beyond, on the road, a boy and girl are walking together, thrilling as their hands touch. Cousin Ellen is waiting for them on the steps of the Phelps house. They are walking away, but the others are coming toward me now, the last of my generation, who can never be lonely when they answer so read- ily to the call of memory. For, as Havelock Ellis says, the meaning- less turmoil of the moment falls silent before the things which come out of the past and are incorporated with the texture of one's own soul.
Overhead I hear a young man's voice, chanting; it is James, at the little window of the prophet's chamber. The text of an old eve- ning psalın comes to me, with a long rising and a falling note as the monks of the Middle Ages intoned it; Nisi Dominus aedificaverit do-mum: in vanum laboraverunt qui aedificant e-am.
Moses Porter's labor was not in vain. The house has withstood fire and flood and earthquake for almost two centuries; the founda- tions underneath me will hold another hundred years. The Lord must have been its Master Builder. And there was another line in the psalm; Cum dederit dilectis suis somnum. That was what we said when my brother's eyes were closed to this mortal world a year ago.
The sun has sunk behind the hills and left a golden sky above them; one last ray touches the valiant weathercock pointing north- west. The long cool bars of cloud lose their rose-and-violet tints,

but the orange lilies make little points of light against the darken- ing background of the orchard-bank. I feel a twilight dampness; there come the tiny flutings of the frogs. Tomorrow will be a splen- did hay-day, and perhaps John will mow the alfalfa in the lower meadow.
If what faded had its glory, then what lasts will be invested with still greater glory.
