"I WANT something to do."This remark being addressed to the world in general, no one in particular feltit their duty to reply; so I repeated it to the smaller world about me, receivedthe following suggestions, and settled the matter by answering my own inquiry,as people are apt to do when very much in earnest.
"Write a book," quoth the author of my being.
"Don't know enough, sir. First live, then write.""Try teaching again," suggested my mother.
"No thank you, ma'am, ten years of that is enough.""Take a husband like my Darby, and
fulfill1 your mission," said sister Joan, homeon a visit.
"Can't afford expensive luxuries, Mrs. Coobiddy.""Turn actress, and immortalize your name," said sister Vashti, striking anattitude.
"I won't.""Go nurse the soldiers," said my young brother, Tom, panting for "the tentedfield.""I will!" [Page 10]
So far, very good. Here was the will璶ow for the way. At first sight not a footof it appeared, but that didn't matter, for the Periwinkles are a hopeful race;their
crest2 is an anchor, with three cock-a-doodles crowing atop. They all wearrose-colored spectacles, and are lineal descendants of the inventor of aerialarchitecture. An hour's conversation on the subject set the whole family in
ablaze4 of enthusiasm. A model hospital was
erected5, and each member had acceptedan honorable post therein. The
paternal6 P. was chaplain, the
maternal7 P wasmatron, and all the youthful P.s filled the pod of futurity with achievementswhose brilliancy eclipsed the glories of the present and the past. Arriving atthis satisfactory conclusion, the meeting
adjourned8, and the fact that MissTribulation was available as army nurse went abroad on the wings of the wind.
In a few days a townswoman heard of my desire, approved of it, and brought aboutan interview with one of the sisterhood which I wished to join, who was at homeon a furlough, and able and willing to satisfy all
