She is .ih only child of rather elderly parents, Wid very (treat treasure. Slio has never been particularly strong, and her mother )i nlwayE In terror on the score of her health, not because there's anything Radically wrong: with Gertrude, but Just because Mrs. Jones Is a tussy sort of 'woman. The child Isn't allowed to go to school With All the rest of the little ones In our alreet-lt Is thought that the strain of learning lessons In a big clns.i would be' too much for her. Bo she goes to 'ft private school, a dreadfully dull place, where there are only half u dozen Children: and I know, for a fact, that he teacher Is asked to keep an eye on her and report to her mother If she looks at all pale or seems tired during the course of the morning's work, Gertrude came to tea with my Jill nfd Jerry last Saturday, and, really, It was too funny! r had bought them half penny currant nuns, two buns for each 'child and one over for mother. A Limited Menu Jill and Jerry, with their healthy ap petites, put nwny a couple of thick slices of bread and Walter eacii, ami men started on their ten buns, while Ger trude wns still nibbling daintily at her first piece of bread. "Wouldn't you like to leave that and go on to cake now, dear?" 1 enldj and ehe brlghtenod up as she answored, "Yes, please." nut. If you'll believe me, that child picked every single currant out of her tun before she ntc It. Sho ranged them In a neat row on her Dlnte. while Jerry watched, his eyes nlmofct popping out of his head with surprise. "Why do you do that,'' ho naked at last. "Mother wont let mo cat currants." Gertrude replied. "She says they might make me ill. And mother won't let hor eat any sweets because of her troth; or any pas try because of her complexion; or any DBh, because she once felt poorly after too many shrimps at the soaslde; or any Uncooked fruit, because It mny bo ovor xipe. And sho mayn't drink tea because of her nerves; or coffee, becauso It keeps her awake at night; or unboiled water, becauso It may have typhoid germs In It; or unboiled milk, for fear of consumption. Hcally, I sometimes wonder what sho Is allowed to- tnkc, poor little dear. Lonely Exercises Sho isn't allowed to romp with other children, because It's too exciting for her and may mako her nervous; so, in order tn get enough exercise sho has to swing Indian clubs and do skipping all by her nelf In tho back garden. I went In, tho other night, and found her at her lonely club exercises. Sho looked quite cheory about It, for she's a wonderfully sweet tempered child. If she had beon na pep pery as my two, I boliove sho would have run away from home long ngo. Sho wears seme sort of patent "all wool" underclothing, sleeps In a particu lar make of bed, and has special strength ening salts In her bath. No doubt she Ioes many other weird things as well, but I haven't heard of any more so far. I'm afraid sho'll grow up Into a woman who "enjoys poor health," nnd Is never good for much all her life long. Hut It does seem such a pity, for she's a well made child with a nice disposition, who might bo turned Into a happy, hearty, useful woman by a few years of sensible (treatment. For the Needlewoman A bad workman loses nis tools, so we are Informed. This may or may not be a fact, but ono thing Ih cer tain, a lost needlo Is about the most elusive thing In tho world when one Is In a hurry. Tho coachman magnet will prove a useful friend when such an occasion occurs, pingpong ball, a magnet about 3V, Inches long, a piece of red flannel or cloth, an Infinitesimal piece of wash-leather, a few pins and a little emery powder will be required to fashion the attractive little gentleman shown on this page. First of all, silt the pingpong ball In half, ofne-half makes the face. Sketch In the hair, eyebrows, eyes, nostrils and lips with a little Indian Ink or Bepla. A touch of crimson lake will give an attrac tive glow to the cheeks. Fold the celluloid into a circular Bhape, to look like the head, and stitch it nt the top and bottom. Make an oblong bag 8 Inches by 2. stitch It up at the top and sides. Place the magnet In this.

Take a atrip of red flannel or cloth Stt Inches by 111. fold It, cut it at the back down the centre, within a quarter of an Inch of the top. Place this around the coachman's waist to form the "skirt" of his coat, placing two pins at the back to Imitate two buttons, and fastening It with one pin In front. Cut out two arm shapes In the cloth one Inch from the shoulder to the elbow, curve slightly, and It should be one Inch from the elbow to the wrist, and half an Inch wldo. Sew each "arm" firmly on each shoulder, as shown by the Illustra tion. Cut out two Utle glove shapes In the chamois leather, aeceotlne them Inside the bottom of each sleeve, and the little man Is made. The Travelers Two travelers fared on life's rough road, One hurried day after day, "With always the wish to be getting ahead, Never throwing a moment away.

". 1 I --J ' M -mp -- , , 4 I MISS HELEN KELLER THE A CHIE VEMENT OF HELEN KELLER A delightful lecture on "Happiness" was given Inst night In tho Wlthcrspoon Hall by Miss Helen Keller. Tho gifted young woman was listened to with great Interest by a thoroughly appreciative nuillence. Tho story of Helen Keller, now In tho early thirties ami (loaf and blind since In fancy, Is as unparalleled us It Is well known. The development of this extraor dinary girl, who nt 7 years of ngo was dumb as well as totally deprived of the power or sight, and yel grnuunicii wnn honors from college at 21, wrote several successful books, and finally acquired a speaking voice that enables her to ap pear on the public lecture platform, is tho most remarkable achievement In tho history of education. To realize tho full Import of these triumphs, nnd of the stu pendous obstacles which hindered their nttalnment, Is to agree with Mnrk Twain in his assertion that "tho two most In teresting characters of the 13th century nro Napoleon nnd Helen Keller." For 27 years Holen Keller's constnnt companion nnd teacher hns been Mrs. John Mncy, who as Anna Sullivan first pointed tho way for the little girl to emerge from tho darkness Into the light. It Is difficult for us who havo nil our normal senses to reallzo tho full Import of Mrs. Mncy's work. Sho found Helen with a mind so untaught that It was ab solutely Ignorant of the fact that things have names. Fenr. pain, hunger, thirst these the girl knew, for they were In stinctive; but of knowledge aH wo under stand It Helen Kollcr had not tho re motest sensntlon, nnd all tho ordinary avenues of acquiring knowledgo were closed to her. Yet through Mrs. Mncy's riavntinn nnrt eenlus came a true con ception of even the suhtler beauties of the world, nnd so keen Is Helen Keller's appreciation of nnturo that It seems only right she should be living now In the country whero sho can revel among the fields and woods sho loves so well. And hero In the country Is her homo nmong the MoBsachusetts hills, with broad out looks and grateful sunshine. Wentham, not so far from Boston, is as plcturesquo a New England village as ono would ever hope to find, and, well In keeping with Its Common and Its white meeting hou&e. Is tho old Colonial home of Mr. and Mrs. Mncy, nnd so of Helen Keller. About the house are evergreens, from whose needles the sun draws deli cately resinous odors spruce and pine and fir, they are. with hero and there tho feathery plumes of hemlock. Great trees, too, stand about, the famous elms of New England. Hospitality and kindliness are tho keynote of the place, nnd their spell falls on the visitor as he turns In nt the gate nnd walks up tho drivo past the row of rough gray holders of which Miss Keller wrote so chnrmlngly In "The Song of the Stone Wall." Meeting Miss Keller anywhere It Is dif ficult to believe she Is deprived of the senses so necessary to most of us. But to be with her in her home Is to forget that there are any differences. She Is In the big sunny room set apart for her study. Mrs. Mocy Is there, so Is Mrs. Keller, a charming lady with a de lightful sense of humor enhancing all the faculties of which her dnughter is deprived. She often travels with them on their lecture tours about tho coun try, for the relationship between all three li more than fond. Very much like an ordinary woman, Helen Roller seems as she sits there, hor fingers running rapidly from line to line of the raised Ilralle type of the book sho Is reading. No time la ever lost to her; she has her hours for study, work and recreation, and she goes about them with wonderful confidence and precision. With a knowledge born of long use, one points out her various typewriters for different purposes, the Bratle machine for writing letters to the blind, and nil tho multlude of things her library and study contain. Most Interesting of all, perhaps. Is the collection of books being printed In the raised type; each of them Is about the size of the ordinary dictionary. There Is a certain unconscious satire In the thought of Green's "Short History of the English People" being packed away In about seven of these huge volumes. It makes one realize what a persistent fight education has been to this girl, espe cially as many books could not at first be secured In the raised type, and Mrs. Macy had to "read" many df them to her by meant of the mariuel alphabet. The whole house Is full of Interesting thlngB, particularly autographed pictures of people who have been devoted to this remarkable girl. No ordinary collection Is it, but rather a review of America's genius for the last century, James Rus sell I-owU Is there, and Mark Twain, while Joseph Jefferson seems everywhere. One of Jefferson's great Joys was to not for Helen Keller, and there are several pictures of them together, her hands on his mobile face Interpreting his every wqrd and mannerism as he enacts soma part. The love for acting did not depart with Jeffersen's death, for today Helen Keller Is a arreat theatregoer. Only at a theatre. Mrs. Macy, of course, has to interpret the play to her. A short while ago they saw David Warfteld, and after the play Mr. Wajrflald gave a little per forwu'ria? for Miss Keller, so sha could read bis faee. Her delight was un bounded as the great actor's genius oame to hr through the medium of her Angers' touch, and the sxpresslon on her sensitive faee indicated more plainly than words could bow accurate a conception of the part aba had format!. Indeed, Helen Kel ts! 's sense of touch is beyond belief. Not Uuxg aa sfct met Frank Spealgbt, tbe isjislIWi sauMiwswr si uwuai, ana, to I k uu af avu Ur isUffiati friuuii.

It Is Interesting to see how closely Miss Keller keeps In touch with the talk nroimd her. Hardly n thing Is spoken of which Is not told to her. and sho takes n lively Interest In nil that Is going on. If too long nn Interval elapses with out her being told what Is happening sho will nsk in the voice which Is her great accomplishment: "Teacher, what inn you talking nbout?" Then Mrs. Mncy will put her hnnd In Miss Keller's, nnd tho lingers begin to fly. They uso the same alphabet as the dumb use, only Miss Keller feels the letters Instead of seeing them. The speed of the "con versation" In phenomenal, and Is an excellent proof of how much tho human mind can compensnto for losses. Of course, every ono cannot "talk" llko this to Helen Keller, so In most casea she places her hand over the speaker's mouth and "listens" that way. Sho, of course, uses her voice now In talking to every one, This lip rending and 11b attendant an swering of questions nro ono of tho great features of tho lecturo which Miss Kel ler and Mrs. Macy give. The audlenco asks the questions, nnd Mrs. Macy re peats them while Miss Keller reads what she is saying from her lips. Then, quick as a flash, Miss Keller makes her an swor, nnd It is always n very clever one, to'o. What Is more, sho Is so thor oughly conversant with the events of tho world, social, political and scientific, thut rarely Is n topic touched upon for which she has not nn answer. As to business matters, she Is always very much Interested In her own. Helen Keller's happiness seems to be perpetual. A smile Is always on her face, and sho looks like tho most cheer ful person In any gathering. This good humor Is ever present In her conversa tion, and sho has a wit that Is diffi cult to get the better of. So It Is little wonder that sho chose "Happiness" ns the themo of her new lecture. Even In her affliction Miss Keller has found the real happiness of life, nnd she has helped many others to discover It, too. A CLEAN BILL OF HEALTH By C. HOUSTON GOUDISS. Food Expert. A recent outbreak of typhoid fever among tho students of Lehigh University has been traced to a kitchen employe of tho college commons, This man was a masculine "typhoid Mary," a carrier of the germs of the disease. Immune him self, but Infecting everything he touched and every one with whom he came In con tact. The outbreak of fever was a sore pus zle to the authorities at Lehigh, because they pride themselves upon keeping everything at the college precisely as It bhould be. Every precaution Is taken for proper sanitation, clean, wholesome food and everything which Insures good health, so the appearance of this drended, filth-born disease was for a time inex plicable. As It happened, the disease In this case was easily traced to Its source, for tho college commons are under such compe tent management that the testing of em ployes for evidences that they were car riers of tho disease came as a natural consequence of the failure to discover anything wrong In the dormitories or anywhere else. But how about the ordi nary restaurant? It has been somewhat difficult to obtain adequate supervision of the physical health of the persons who prepare and handle foods. Lehigh University presents a concrete case of the transmission of a dangerous disease through the medium of food that was In itself clean and whole some. Tbe testing of the kitchen man was merely a caso of the usual tardy locking of the stable door. Had he been tested before he was employed, there would have been no epidemic Considering the constant presence of this danger, It is amazing that so little attention s paid to it. Every sort of effort Is being made to keep the milk sup ply pure and wholesome; to see that foods aro fresh and unadulterated; that sanita tion In houses, shops and factories shall be the best that It Is possible to procure; but no one seems to think It necessary that those who have to do with manu facturing or handling foods must have clean bills of health. A few sporadlo efforts have been made toward securing the exclusion from laundries, bakeries and food factories of persons suffering from tuberculosis and venereal diseases, but so far not an ef fort has been made to safeguard the pub lic who frequents hotels and restaurants. References are demanded from employes regarding their ability and trustworthl new. but apparently no one goes to the trouble to ascertain whether or not they are sound physically. Some of the most dangerous diseases, especially in their early stages, give no outward sign of their presence and tbe ease of the typhoid carrier is literally a freak among diseases, because only a test reveals the presence of the dangerous germs. As a rule, kitchen employes, whether of the hotel, restaurant or borne, have but a haay conception of sanitation and bodily elaanUncas and are both Ignorant of and iii4t$4eMt to the necessity of taking any uuiutku to trevettt otners rrom oe ' eomlB- infested. They can hardly fee t' - : .. .i -. .- ! v. PHILADELPHIA, SATURDAY NOVKMIJKK S, 1014. Modes of the Hour Xt Is predicted that the next Influx of fashions will be of Belgian origin! that Is fp say, that the Belgian peasant garb and tho Belgian uniforms wilt furnish the motifs for the wearing apparel of the near future. Skirts are beginning to look as If Hot land had had something to say In their fashioning. The fulness Is not confined to the bottom of the newest skirts. Gathers and shirring at the waist are seen In so many of the frocks that nre given a prominent place In the window displays of the best shops, that the seven days' wonder hns subsided. Tile American Fashion Fete, early In November, showed skirts that were longer In the front and the bnok than at the sides. It Is a rather daring fashion, but a distinctly pretty one It the chaussure shows perfection and It the ankte Is well turned. The little frock sketched today Is one of the simple affairs that has unmistak ably the quality we call smart. The skirt Is circular and It Is cut with a Bharp point In the front and another In the back. We have long worn over skirts cut nfter this model, but with the frock In question, there Is not a trace, a vestige, not oven a soupcon of a drop skirt underneath. And In case the skirt should not call attention to itself, of Itself, there Is a band of velvet to accent Its somewhat audacious cut. That we still have uses for tho kimono sleeve Is Illustrated again today. The surplice bodice Is one of the easiest to cut, one of the most simple designs that there Is. When It Is becoming, it Is very much td, but It cannot bo worn by every one. A band of velvet outlines the surplice neck of tho aamo width as that employed by the skirt. One might almost at tribute tho distinction of the dress to Its lack of fur trimming If that were not fashion heresy. The material Is silk of Kaiser gray, that wonderful color Indeterminate like tho sky and the sea In "falling weather," to uso a nautical phrase. It has some thing of blue in it, llko a London fog, nnd, like all elusive things that wo can never quite capture, It holds us with Its charm. The hat worn with tho dress Is audacious, too, and so Is tho bit of a muff. A Scotch bonnet with Prince of Wnles feathers appears to bo In har mony. Certainly the combination Is dash ing and pleasing, too. It seems as If there would be a raid on children's furs In the near future, and his Christmas Majesty may have a perplexing time when ho compares the size of furs with the size of the stock ings for which they are Intended. A child's muff cut In two mnkes a pair of cuffs of Just about the right size, while a child's neckpiece Is really larger than many a tour do cou or a collaretto. Ono can give It tho sophisticated look of maturity by adding something very Frenoh In the way of nosegays, or a bow or quilling or plaiting of ribbon or velvet. A new Bet of collar nnd cuffs Is achieved at a minimum of expense. Wise Sayings Tell tho truth nnd shame tho family. A lie In time saves nine. Being good Is nn awful lonesome Job. If one half of tho world doos not know how tho othor half llvoi, It's not the fault of the woman next door. The greatest trial of married life Is not to bo ablo to take advantage of the ex cuse yoti know your wife would believe. Which? "And how Is your old friend Wilson?" "Poor chap! He Is delivered from his long sufferings." "Yes? But you haven't told me whether It Is he who In dead or his wife." FOR THE COOK blamed; for if their presumably better Informed employers neglect such precau tions, why should they brother about It? If tho typhoid carrier wcro the only menace, the problem would be simplified to a great degree. But unfortunately a large percentage of those who cook, pre pare and Berve foods are low grade work ers, mostly foreigners, and both tuber culosis and venereal diseases are appall ingly common among them. It Is a well known fact that the Latin races are liter ally honeycombed with hereditary syphi lis. The fact Is accepted and regarded with Indifference. So long as they are able to work, they concern themselves little about their afflictions, and that they are sources of danger to other people troubles them not at all. It Is wholly the fault of the employers that syphilitic and tuberculous employes are found In public and private kitchens. In factories, laundries, etc. These per sons cannot be blamed If they are em ployed without question concerning their physical fitness to handle foods. There Is not ono case In a thousand where a victim of either of these diseases has any acute consciousness of being & vic tim. No proprietor of a restaurant or a hotel would think for a moment of em ploying any one suffering from scarlet fever, smallpox, diphtheria or any of the more spectacular diseases; yet they do not hesitate to give work that 'is most Intimately concerned with the health of all patrons of these establishments to persons suffering with tuberculosis, syphi lis or other diseases of the sort which do not Immediately Incapacitate them. What la needed most of all Is to give the State and city boards of health full control over public eating places as re gards their sanitation, the cleanliness and wbolesomeness of the foods served and the health of those who prepare and serve them. It Bhould be a prison offense for the proprietor of any public eating house to employ a servant who is af flicted with a communicable disease or who Is a "carrier," Such precautions would not be dlffloult. If public opinion demanded It they would be taken. If the restaurant that could show a health certificate for every employe, as well as clean tables and germleas Ice boxes, were given the support and patronage of the community to the exclusion of the care lessly kept restaurant, the business sense of every restaurant keeper would Boon respond to such a practical demonstra tion of the power of public opinion.

A DAINTY LITTLE FROCK THE STUBBORN GIRL "Molly makes me tired. I never saw a girl like her, anyhow. I went over there tho other day nnd she and Jim woro arguing, as usual. For newlyweds I think they're awful. I never heard people wranglo bo. She doesn't moan to be arose, but she gets an opinion In her head and you can't got It out. I'd Just ns soon bump up against n stone wall as that BlrJ." "Poor Jim Is Just dear to hor, too. Ho says she's decided In her opinions, but that's only becauso ho Is In love. It may scorn nice now to have the law laid down by a pretty tyrant, but believe me wait until she's threo or four years older." Tho rest of the threat wns left un said, perhaps because It was too sad to contemplate. Surely a man Is tho first to tire of a stubborn, boesy woman. Sho makes the homo a placo of misery by her continuous arguing. Tho most peaceful of husbands, desiring nothing more In Ilfn than a. quiet pipe nnd his evening pnper, dare not express his humble opin ion. The strange thing about tho stub Woman and Her Ways Woman Is a perpotunl paradox, n rld dlo without an answer. She Is man's greatest and earliest blessing, yet tho cause of most of his misery. Sho soothes his tired nervesi with tho muslo of hor gentle voice, but she always has tho last word In any dlsousslon with htm, and about 87 per cent, of tho pre ceding conversation. Most of his trouble Is causod by her, but so cleverly does she pile the load on him that whenever hlB burden of trouble Is lifted he wanders about uneasily hunt ing for more. Otherwise there would be but very few second wives. She scorns all advice In tho choice of a,hUBband, but she takes two friends with her to help her select a hat. Tho less actual comfort there Is to be had from a thing the moro enjoyment she gets out of Its possession. She will face the grim spectre of death without a tremor, but swoon at the sight of a mouse. Sho Is the dearest thing In all the world and the most aggravating. She Is as she Is, nnd that Is all there Is to it. The only man who ever understands her Is the ono who knows that he does not understand her, and has enough sense to let It go at that. Odd Crusts of Bread The Good Cook Says I turn all odd crusts of bread Into plain Plum puddings, and my people never yet discovered that In this favorite dish they eat the "bread pudding made from left over bits." which they all say they so much dislike! The crusts are put through a mincing mnchlne, mixed with an equal weight of flour, a llttlo sugar, suet, and a few rais ins, put Into a basin and steamed for several hours, I make a little batch of three or four at a time, as If hung In a dry, airy place they will keep good for a couple of weeks, and only need rebolllng when re quired. VERTIGO OR Have you ever been troubled by a sud den giddiness, aort of a nauseated feel ing, which makes you want to lie down and stay there until things stop revolv ing? This Is nature's own warning that your stomach Is in bad condition and that your system In general needs care ful hyglenlo treatment. Dieting is usually necessary, too, if the case is a stubborn one. It you are a very great lover of eggs, the reason is clear. Nothing Is so con ducive to biliousness as eggs. They are very indigestible when cooked, and If taken at all, should be taken raw. Give up all rich, greasy foods, and avoid par ticularly the highly seasoned ones. Live as much as possible on milk, stale broad, green vegetables and lean meat This may be trying at first, but you will soon show results It you stick to it. Take no tea or coffee for a while, say two or three months. A good laxative Is essential. The poisons which cause the stomach to become upset must be entirely cleared out of the bys tem.

"Laura Is such an ugly girl," said ono of these women the othor day. "She hasn't nice teeth, or nlco eyes, nnd her hair Is awfully straight. If It wasn't for hor clothes nobody would o'cn notlco her. Whnt people seo In hor I can't say. I prefer blondes, nnywny. I llko a girl that's full of life and ready for a good tlmo nt any hour. Sho's too quiet for me." Tho utter lock of logic In such a criti cism Is very evident whon It Is empha sized In this way, but women listen to opinions llko this every day and think nothing of It. Toil can romember say ing something like It yourself, for few fall to make this mistake. We forget that If people fail to come up to our Ideals tho fault Is more likely to bo with tho Ideals themselves than with the peo ple Sort of a If-whlsky-doesn't-agree-wlth - your - business - drop - your - busi ness argument. When Did You Sneeze? Hero Is a most amusing old rhyme which Informs us the Importance former ly attached to tho not of sneezing. It appears that the days of the week were significant In this matter. Sneeze on Monday, sneeze for danger; Sneeze on Tuesday, kiss a stranger; Sneeza on Wednesday, have a letter; Sneeze on Thursday, something better; Sneeze on Friday, expeot Borrow; Sneeze on Saturday, gay tomorrow; Sneeze on Sunday, morning fasting. Your love will love you to everlasting. If, therefore, ono can arrange that oolds In tho head occur to suit this quaint fancy, ono Is sure to reap the benefit in tho form promised. Ideas in Idleness Too often the hero worshiper Is his own hero. A high-class liar Is considered a high salaried necessity In some kinds of busi ness. If time Is money, why Is it most men havo more time than anything else. Many a woman loses a good friend whon she acquires a poor husband. What can't be cured must bo Insured. Talk may be cheap, yet some people are always trying to manipulate a corner therein. , A Visitor Says I was callng the other day on an old lady who keeps no maid, she wont out of tho room and I heard the rattle of china.

Did it matter to St. Paul whether his life had been easy or hard? No, the only thing that mattered was whether he had been strong and brave, and true and steadfast when tho etorm came. The thing that matters In the end Is not whether you wero hurt, but how you took tho blow that came. Why I Like My Place By "Domestic Help" Considering that I've only been In my new eHmtlon n few weeks, some people might cay that It Is early days to talk about liking or not liking It, but I made up my mind that I wan going to like It the day I arrived. This Is the first illme I've taken a post In a large town. How my mother teasod me before I left home! She eald I'd have to wear my flngnrs to tho bono to keep paco with tho dirt; and as we knew that the maid before mo had loft for several days, mother Imagined that tho place would be In n. mess. I wish mother could have seen the Toome that wore handed over to me. They wero all as clean as If they'd been spring cleaned. My mistress Informed me that she had had tho charwoman In, and that aho'd been through the house. It Wns a Surprise It was a nlco surprise for me, I can tell you. Many ladles would have Baved the cost of ii charwoman, thinking that the new irrald might Just as well do the cleaning up. Finding the place spouoss mado alt the difference to mo. I wanted H to keep It so. When tho mistress took mo up to my bedroom I couldn't help an exclamation of delight. It was such a dainty room. Not that It was any larger, nor wan the furnlturo any flnor, than that In rooms I'd been given before, but every thing wns so clean. There wns a placo for hanging my dresses In ono corner, with a curtain over that matched the curtains at the window. When I opened the drawers of tho dressing table I found them all fresh ly lined with white paper. I have opened drawers before today, and found curl papors, combings, and bits of rubbish to be cleared out before I could use them. "Now, Jennie," said my new mistress, "this Is your room, and I hope you'll like It and be happy hero." Sho did not add that sho hoped I'd take a prldo In keeping It nice, but somcholw she managed to mako me feel that she took that for granted. Two Hours to Settle In My trunk had arrived with mo, and I was told that I might take two hours to unpack and get my things straight. I started straight away, nnd when I'd hung up my frocks, filled tho drawers, and put out my photographs and bits of things, I looked round with pride. Instead of the homo-slok feeling that usually sweopa over me In a atrangu place, I began to feel at home. This feeling Increased when I went FJ3M0H jo ogua ti ereM. ojowji rjrnitfUAiop on tho kitchen table, and tw! my tea was laid. Mistress heard me come down and she came out. She told me to have my tea, nnd then she'd show ma where somo of the thlngB were kept, and talk to me about ray work. She'd actually arranged that dinner that night should be cold, so that I could get off to bed earlyl You don't know the difference It made to me, not being expeoted to tumblo to nt once. I got a good nlghf a rest after my rather long Journey for the mattress wasn't all lumps, like some I'vo slept on and started next day determined to do my very best. Regular Time. Off In some of my places I've been on my feet all dny. I've had mistresses who made Jobs for me If they thought I'd got a minute to spare. But my present mistress Isn't a bit like that. She Insists that the time from 3 o'clock until 4 o'clock shall bo mine to do as I like with. I may sew or read, just as i iiKe, out i must use that hour for my self. If I get done earlier than usual, she Is pleased. She never says; "Oh, Jennie, as you've finished your work, you might turn out thut cupboard ; then go and pull up tho weeds on the garden path." No; we have our proper times for every thing there Is to be done, and we keep to them. Sometimes I get up earlier than I need, to get the work forward. During the hot weather I like to do this, so that I need not work so hard during tbe hottest part of the day. I once did the same when It was my day off. so that I should have time to Iron my muslin frock before Z dressed.
