"I didn't know. How long do they

her speech of the provincial taint in

talk like old Arne of the boreen.

grew thinner. Mrs. Lang told her,
she was a fool not to do as the other
women did, and make up a bit.

Forgotten Peerages.
It would be interesting to know
how many of the present titles of Bri-
tish peers will be known fifty years
heace.
Peerages disappear at the rate of
lire every four years. There are
numerous reasons for this. The re-
cent case of Lard Swinfen, who died
before the letters patent of his peer-
age passed the Great Seal, is unusual,
but not without precedent, "
Seven years ago\ a barony was be(
stowed on Sir Thomas Borthwick, but

Paieut. From various causes 124
peerages became extinct between 1800
and 1900. Some peers have had no
heirs, as Lords Kitchener and Roberts.
Lord Kelvin, the scientist, left no
heir at all. Lord Lister, the inventor
of antiseptic surgery, had no one to
carry on his title, which has thus4be-

Economy of Rules
It is economical to have rules, and. it
is economy 'to obey them.
A tremendous number of accidents
result from the breaking of rules.
Sometimes the rules are not laws,
laid dOwn in black and white and en-
forced by law, but they are rules, just
the same. Many motor accidents come
because of opeecling, driving on the
wrong side of the road, disobeying
traffic regulations In the city streets.
Many accidents to pedestrians occur
because they doa't stay on the side-
walks, and when they must cross the
streets they don't do so at thecross-
ings, Many fires start becau.se
fiammables are kept in dangerous
places—gasolene is stored in the linen

So it gods. Many of the ills of inan.
kind result from a disobeying of rule%

lated. And they should be a help to
family life: Unfortunately for the
housekeeper, punishment for the
breaking of these rules does not al-
ways fall on those who break them.
Too often it is the housekeeper or the
servants who get the punishment.
Nevertheless, it is possible to formu-
late a set of household rules, and to
drill one's family to obey them. Per-
haps without actual punishment they
can be made to believe that the most
comforable way of living is to ob-
serve the rules set down by the house-
keeper. And to the housekeeper these
rules can be made a means of saving
time, and energy and nerve force,
Think over every rule you announce
before you speak of it. For a foolish
rule, like a foolish law, breeds disre-
mot on the part of those who are
asked to observe it.
There can ' be, Just rules about
promptness at meals, abont individual
duties for each inember of the house-
hold, about opening wndows, about
closing screen doors, about carinefor

and at the same time so thought out

tle that she had taken from the dres-
ser, and with a trembling hand red-
dened her cheeks and- lips, drawling
the wet cork across and across. She
stared for a moment, then ran to the
Washstand.
"Ochanie!" she said. "Sure, it
en. ekes me look like Jezebel," She
washed her face ruthlessly with, the
nailbrush,
When Angus came in a little later,
he gave her -a second look.The nail-
brush had left her cheeks honestly
red.
"You're looking well, lassie," he re-
marked. It was the first time he had
seemed really to see her for weeks.
Jean cried after he had gone out for
the evening.
"The wee of the wicked shall per-
ish," she said to herself. But she
could not find as much support for
the statement as she eould have wish-
ed in the history of Port Laulau, as
far as it was known to her.
Jean had the trip to Auckland that
is considered the due of every wife
"down Tahiti way" and came back
feeling fresher and' younger. The chil-
dren Venefited also, and Auckland in
itself :was delightful and new. But
she was not sorry to return to the
white-hot suns and jeweled seas and
year-long endless summers of the
Laulaus, The bungalow beside the
papaw tree had become home to her.
She looked for the tree as soon as
the house came in sight. It had
grown immensely diming the month
of her absence; its graygreen trunk,
sealed like a serpent's skin, had
thickened and shot up, and the crown
was leveled on top, aspiring no more.
The papaw was twenty feet high and
had done its growing. In thee days
it bore enormously; the cluster of
cream -white blossoms underneath the
crown wassupported by misses of
solid fruit, ripe and unripe, enough
to fill several sacks. Tall, deep-rooted
and sturdy, it looked fit to last for
fifty years.
Angus was glad to see her back. He
had missed his home comforts. Meals
at the hotel weren't all they looked;
and the new barmaid from Sydney
had taken up with a rich tourist, to
the exclusion of more deserving if less
moneyed men. Of course he didn't
care twopence about her, but still—
she was "grey an' bonny." Odd she
should have such poor taste in men.
What a good little soul Jean was.
She know how to appreciate a man.
I/ only she hadn't grown quite so
plain! She never had been a beauty;
but now—
He supposed it was in the nature
of things.

GHOSTS AT
ROYAL PALACES
QUEEN BESS •H AUNTS
WINDSOR CASTLE.
"Lady in White" Was Herald
of Calamity to Reigning
House of Austria.
The news that a "veiled spectre"
has recently been seen on three separ-
ate occasions premenading the corri-
dors of Windsor castle recalls a story
told by a young officer, Mr. Carr Glyn,
of the Grenadier Guards, some twenty
years ago.
Mr, Glyn was reading a book in the
Castle library when, glancing up, he
saw the black -veiled figure of a wo-
man walk past him and disappear itt
the inner library., As she did not re-
-turn, he followed her; Tilt found to '
his amazement that she had complete-
ly vanished, although there was no
means of exit from the inner room.
The Woman in Black.
When he told his uncanny story the
following morning it created eonster- '
nation in the Pelee% especially when.
It was discovered that three centuries
ago the roam had had an exit at the
very place through whicl the black
lady had passed. It was generally be-
lieved that -the mysterious figure
must have been that of Queen Eliza-
beth herself, of whose midnight ap-
pearances in her old haunts itt the
Castle many stories are told.
But...Queen Bess is only one of the
several royal spectres which are said
to haunt our royal palaces. The
Duchess° de Mazarin, one of the Mer-
ry Monarch's many far.orites, has
been seen more than once in the
rooms and orridors of Si. James' Pal-
ace, which is also said to be a favor-
ite haunt of Nell Gywn, of the saucy
tongue and merry laughter; and of
that termagant beauty, the Duchess
of Cleveland.
Hampton Court Palace, too, has the
reputation of being visited by the
shades of several great people who
have once "walked in splendor" with-
in its historic walls. Strange tales are
told of spectral figures which vanish
when accosted; of mysterious noises,
the uncanny opening of doors, With-
out visible agency, and of sounds of
merriment and. snatches of song pre-
ceeding from empty rooms.
When Henry's Wives "Walk."
But the most affrighting vision of
all is that of a white -robed figure run -
ring down a corridor, with her long
hair streaming behind her, and
appearing into the char.el. This start,
ling apparition is said to be that of
the unhappy Catherine Howard, the
second queen whom Henry VIII. sent
to the executioner's block; and who,
sp long after her tragic death; re-
peats an incident in her troubled exl
istence -when, escaping from hel"
guards, she rushed into the chapel to
beg for her life from her tyrannous
lord who was praying there,
