On another occasion — it was one of the later visits — she said with emphasis, Julia, do not allow yourself to grow old! When you feel that you cannot do a thing, get up and do it Julia never forgot this advice. Cousin Nancy never read a novel in her life, as she announced with pride.

The next day she was, Very weary all day. Put things to rights as well as I could. Read in Spinoza, Cotta, and Livy. It was for the Brain Club that she wrote The Socio-Maniac, a cantata caricaturing fashionable society. She set the words to music, and sang with much solemnity the Mad song of the heroine whose brain had been turned by too much gayety:--Her mother was a Shaw, And her father was a Tompkins; Her sister was a bore, And her brother was a bumpkin; Oh! Soci-oh! Soci- Oh! Soci-e-ty! Her flounces were of gold, And her slippers were of ermine; And she looked a little bold When she
