Patty at Home

In Mrs. Elliott's library at Vernondale a great discussion was going on. It was an evening in early December and the room was bright with firelight and electric light and merry with the laughter and talk of people who were trying to decide a great and momentous question. For the benefit of those who are not acquainted with Patty Fairfield and her relatives it may be well to say that Mrs. Elliott was Patty's Aunt Alice at whose home Patty and her father were now visiting. Of the other members of the Elliott family Uncle Charley grandma Marian and Frank were present and these with Mr. Fairfield and Patty were debating a no less important subject than the location of Patty's future home. You know papa said Patty you said that if I wanted to live in Vernondale you'd buy a house here and I do want to live here-at least I am almost sure I do. Oh Patty said Marian why aren't you quite sure? You're president of the club and the girls are all so fond of you and you're getting along so well in school. I don't see where else you could want to live.
