THE OLD GAKRET:
tn the dear old home of our early years,
A gloomy garret on ralny days,
Resounded oft with our merry cheers,
And witnessed most of our simple plays.
Great chests and many a forgotten pile
Supplied our various changeful needs:
Quaint dresses, fashioned in by-gone style
Clad us like heroes of doughty deeds.

smali a bit of humanity could cause

oomfortable, and the tiny drawing-

through the big bow-window when we

was the very core and essence of the

day to come! First, we were driven
from the drawing-room, because there
the baby must be placed in two big
arm-chairs with a pillow for bed (there
was no space for a cra lle), and we kept
her from sleeping. Next, we must not
go into Nell’s room, for we excited
her,
My room was the third in the suite,
and Idared not move a chair for fear
of Miss Lansdale’s wrath, so I econld
not stay there. The dining-room an!
kitchen were at the back, and here 1
took up my residence, with no sun-
shine, no piano, mo compszuy! Poor
was over, 1 remembered that I was
virtualy alone in the flat, for Kate was
worse than nobody in an ergency,
and of cour e Nell could d@ithing. I
dared pot go to unlock the door and
try to discover what was the matter,
for fear of alarming ber. But my ean-
tion was unavailing; she hai been
aroused by the noise, and I had to go
to her at once. She was dreadfully
agitated and I could not leave her for a
moment.
The struggle below seemed to have
ceased for a little time, and 1 pictared
to myself the Romers urdisee in
their beds, and
horrors, and was feeling very unhappy
about them, when there was an unearth-
ly yell at my very ears, and a thunder-
ing knock at our hall door.
Nell threw her arms around me, and
implored me not to leave her; bat the
knocking continned, and I thought i
distinguished Mr. Homer's voice. I
told her so, and she at last released
me.
I could scarcely find strength to get
The janitor bundled her out of the
“Lift” quite early in the day, and we
sent her wages to her with a request
that she would not show her face again
at any time.
Nell and baby were not hurt at all,
ad so it is only a very odd adventure
which happened to grandmother, and
one which that old lady will not soon
forget. — Homemaker,

bad no excuse to give her for dispens-

was nothing for it but to wait as patient-
Iy as we could till her time expired,
and we were free and independent
citizens once more.
The afternoon preceding te morn-
ing of which I am giving a ramblin
history had been one which had tr:
my soul. The whole sutdmn I had
wanted to see “I'he Rivals,” —played
as only he who was then gi it to the

not been willing to leave Nell. so
had put off going until the very inst
matinee, which took place on this
memorable Saturday.

should be disapvointed, and | did not
wish the children to know how much I
cared to see the play; but after lunch-
con I dressed m ,» and with bonnet
on went to bid “Iyoung ones” good-
bye.

stately form rose from the ons

was pliced a table, covered with fruit
and eake on Nell’s India chioa!), nows-

just as he had his hand on it,

torted countenance and portly person

And then ensued a very pretty fight.
The dame was a mighty warrior with
bat she had a power-
fal opponent in Mr. Romer and he
succeeded in preventing her landing in
the kitchen, and with one desperate
push sent her down on her throne to
the lower regions,
When he had recovered his bresth a
little he told me of the dreadful fright
poor Mrs. Romer had received.
We suppose the woman must have
wandered into the n cellar and
pulled herself up by the “Lift”; at all
events, she appeared suddenly at Mrs,
Romer’s bedside with the Persian cat
in her arms, which she proceeded to
lace comfortably under the covers.
ra. Romer shrieked, Mr. Romer
awoke, and made for the woman, who
tussled with him, then broke away and
ran to the kitchen, whare, before he
could stop her, she had pushed herself
into the dumb-waiter, and pulled
herself up out of his reach. Fearing
she would frighten Nell to death, he
threw on his dressing-gown and dashed
upstairs to our door, determined to
keep the woman from landing in our
rooms. Terrified as I had been, I

HINTS ON EATING.
Don't smoke immediately
meals.
Don’t take animal food more than
twice daily.
Don’t drink green tea and use black
tea moderately.
Don’t average more than twenty-
four ounces of fluids daiiy.
Following are a few pointers that
are well worth memorizing:
Don’t believe that eating fat will
make you fat; quite the contrary holds
true,
Don’t let your entire food exceed
thirty-four ounces in twenty-four
hours.
Don't eat gamey meats; remember
that “‘gamey” is the hyper refined
word for rotton.
Don’t forget that healthy persons
genetally lose weight in winter and
gain in summer,
Don’t eat much meat and increase
its quantity only gradually when re-
covering from a fever.
ay Unt id that Shewing tobacco is
most injurious method of using the
weed; the contrary is true.
Don’t allow your servants to
meat and vegetables into the same
compartment of the refrigerator.
Don’t eat . When it is sbeo
lutely unavo to do so it shouid be
rendered harmless by being exposed to
strong heat long enough to be converts
ed into a decided gray color, even to
its innermost part.
