A REAL LADY HELP.
CHAPTER
There could not be a more agreeable
house to visit at than 119,, Thurloo Square,
the residence of a barristee's widow, named
Conyers and her two daughters.
Mrs. Conyers was a hright, active little
woman, in easy eirournst4nces, and such an
exoellent manager that heir friends declared
that she made a guinea g? as far as thirty
shillings did with other people, The house
was the quaintessence neatness, regular-
ity and elegant comfort. Just the nort of
place where a sensible man would belapb to
look for a wife, on the principal of " like
mother, like daughter."
Ethel and Maude were such good-temp-
ered,j pretty girls, and had so many admir-
ers, ie was perhaps only netural that their
moth,er should expect theml to make as good
marriage -ii as their eldest sister had recently
done: Aceerding to her lights Mrs. Con -
yeti hadkought up her tmily fairly well,
but she had helieved a you g woman's chief
end in life was to secure a husband, the ed-
ucation of her daughters w s too much cou-
ducted with this view.
They had a meagre smat ering of French
and German, could sing, ri e and play lawn
tennis, but knew as little about household
affairs as if they had be n " lilies of the
field."
Yet, albeit the widow w not aware of
the fact, the snugness and dainty arrange-
ment of their home enconsciously enhanced
her daughters' attractions in the eyes of a
good many of their visitors!
Aunt Nancy, a maiden sister of the de-
ceased' barrister, was in the habit of paying
an annual visit to his widow, and generally
took the opportunity of lecturing her upon
what she termed the " useleseness-" of her
daughters. " I'm sure, Maria, " she would
say, " it is to me perfectly incomprehensible-
hoanyour conscience permits you to leave
those poor girls in utter ignorance of what
every woman, gentle or simple,' ought to
be acquainted with. Playing the zither is
all very well in its own place, and so is
painting upon white satin buttons, but can
either Maude or Ethel melte a pudding or
boil a potato ?"
" Of nitres not. Much tise such refined
attainments would be to Annette, who gives
a cook sixty guineas a year,"
" But her sitters may not all happen to
pair off with rich antediluvians,",returned
'elle spinster, who, forty years before, had
refused the gallant ,old general recently un-
ited to her niece. "Suppose, one of them
prefer() love in a cottage ? or never mar—"
Really Nancy ! your notions grow
queerer every day. Handsome, good-look-
ing girls are sure to get well settled, euffi-
mently so, at least, to make it a matter of
perfect indifference whether they can tell
raw beef from mutton, far less make a pud-
ding—the idea of such a thing !"
" Well, well, you know the old proverb,
' can do is easily carried about,' even if one
has no need to put in practice. Will you
allow the girls to attend the cookery class at
South Kensington if I pay for their les-
sons?"
" Dear me, Nancy 1 . What will you pro-
pose next ? Just as it I would permit them
to rain their complexions over stew -pans
and ovens. Why, her fine color was the
principal thing for whieh General Beaufort
married Annette."
" Old fool ! Well, Maria, all I can say
is, that I trust the puor things may not live
to regret their ignorance. Even if one is eo
placed that work is unnecessary, one can
never be the worse for being able to give ie-
telligent orders to one's servants. Look at
yourself, for instance. Would this estab-
lishment go on in the methedical way it
does if you were not such a eapital house-
wife ? I'm sure it would not cost you much
trouble ' to initiate your daughters into
the duties of which you are so thoroughly
mistress."
" Thanks. But even if it were of the
slightest use, I'd fifty *roes rathtir do a
thing myself than be at , the pains to teach
other people!'
CHAPTER II.
Brompton ohuroh was crowded the day
the two pretty Mias Conyerses were mar-
ried, and their creamy satin robes, Brussels
veils, exquisite flewers, and handsome bride-
grodtos met with general approval.
Ethers husband's regiment being in Can-
ada, she, of course, accompanied him there,
but Maud's home was in one of those new
neighborhoods ten or a dozen milea from
town, reached by a branch line of railway,
but wanting, as yet, in various conveniences
fonnd in longer popelated localities.
Alfred Seymour, pretty Maude's liege
lor , was a government employee whose
eo bined salary and patrimony prodeced
an income of about—well,' it was under a
usand a year. In person he was fair,

" No, Aunt Nan ; but jto let you int a

so dismal for want of occupation that I
should almost be glad to ecour hlankets or
a variety," 1
The spinster's visit was a 'decided succe s,
but before its conclusion she discove ed
that, even if Maude wished to take a y
charge of her own house, the late -Mrs, 8 y -
mous s elderly dome,stics would resent er
in terference.

dinners, and though I don't particulerly
like either her or Agnes, things must just
be as they are, I suspect. You are quiet)
right, however, aboue my usefulness, and lit
has just struck me that were my husband
to lose his appointment or money, his wife
would be a drag upon him inetead of a blelis-
Mg."
The result of several such conversatio s
was, that thrice a week for the next t o
months Maude went to town with Fre
who let't her at the cookery school in Ke
sington, whence he fetched her in the f-
1
ternoon, declaring somethnes that the e
lit tle excursions and partings and meetin s
were almost as Charming as a second " wop-
in' o't." .
Mrs. Conyers and Mildred, being ju t
then in Yorkshire, enjoying the hospitali
of General Beaumont, .and Annette, r
mained ignorant of how far Aunt Nan y
had won over the beauty of the family o
her utilitarian view's. .
Watson and the mipidleaged housenudd
were left undisturbed ;1 but one step leads to
another, and their mistress began to sur-
mise that a knowledge of comestibles was
not the only thing which had been, omitted
in her education ; so, inkead of !yawning
through her hours of solitude, sbe occupied
them with good literature, which was glai-
ly supplied by the enraptured Fred. .
.
CHAPTER III.
Thanks to plenty of evergreens, even
chilly January failed to make Eden Lodge
particularly dreary ; while inside it was es
snug and cheery an abode as good fires anal
other comforts could render it.
" Only fancy, Maude, who are in En -
turn from London. I

wife, as she met him at the door on his r •
" Not the Andersone, surely ?"
" No ; but my old _chums, the two Nor -
rises, of whom you have heard me epeak,
and Tom Andrews. We used to be like
brothers at Bonn thirteen , years ago. Ali-
drews is home from India on leave, and the
Norrises have just returned from Australia.
It is so strange, all being together once
more. They are coming to dine with us on
Thursday, and are pretty anxious so a e
you, little woman, I can tell you."
" It never rains but it pours," was nr.
Seymour's remark n -ext morning et the
breakfast table, R13 he ran over a letter from
his sister which had ;just come by post.
'' Liatene Maud," he said, to what Jane
says : ' Only imagine, Fred, old Mr. Bee-
toun, papa's rich cousin -0 whom, as ehil-
, dren, we used to hear o minds—hail at
t length retUreed to his native land, and 'is, I
verily believe, looking uplh all, his kith and
kin to see who will make t e fittiest h ir of

should give you a call. ut, joking apart,

That ve y afternoon the said roesus in-
terviewed Mr. Seymour t his ifice, and
accepted a -invitation to ine a d sleep at
Eden Lod a on the same day the other men
were expe ted. So great imeparations were
n•iade, and Watson and Ag es sig ified their
intention of " having t imp ncommon
nice" on t e occasion.
" Yes, ear," seid Fred as he ook leave
of his wi e on the morni g of he party,
" we shall all arrive' at se en, by he train.

glanced o t, but was star led o seeing a

which, ho ever, was onl for t e parlor
maid, info ming her of he fathe 's aeri6t18
illness, an biddivg her hu ry ho e instant-
ly—which he did.
" Whor is Agnes ?" askilad his istress of
Peters, tbe page, when 1 he brought up
lun,,,ophieaset,
'm her's moist dreadful bad
with toothache, roarin' aw id ; and Watson
says; 'please 'm will you give out some
more -bramly for the pud in' s.nd Agnes's
teeth, 'm." • -
In dismay, Matide flaw to the kitchen,
where things were in a r guls,r muddle—
Agnes rocking too and fr with pain, and
Watson decidedly the wor e for. drink.
" It is too soon to put t at --game 0 the
fire, cook 1" she cried ; " i will be roasted
to a oinden !" .
"Just you keep hupetair , 'm," she stam-
mered, insolently, 1•4and I'l send the dinner
Poor Maude's head .grevi giddy with dis-
up most beautiful 1"
treis. Even if shei telegra • hed to Fred to
put off his friends e woul peobably nob be
at the office ; and he was 0 sensieive about
propriety, that it ould b dreadful to ex-
pose such a state o thing in the home of
which he had talked so lov ngly to his old
companions. Nearer town assistance might
have been procured, but, e cept a cobbler's
and two public houees, the e was not a shop
of any kind within ihalf a ale. ,
An idea struck her. " un," ehe cried to
Peters, " run for the gar epees wife 1 I
remember she told !me she had once been a
cook." • ;
Away. flew the boy, an forthwith re-
turned, followed by Mrs. Adams, a tidy,
elderly woman, who hal ed considerably
from a rheumatic affectien.
While Maude retired to onsalt with her,
Watson took the opportu ity! of finishing
tha brandy which had bee cSrried ' to the
kitchen in order to give a little to Agnes,
and was literally " drunk and incapable"
when her mistress and re, Adams en-
te rIetd w.
as a terrible pligh for the young
wife to be in, but, love or her husband
made her arise to the occae on, and oh 1 how
in her heart of hearts s e blessed Aunt
NaTnticey. fi rot thing was to aul Watson to
bed, tell Agnes to lie down in hers, and set
Peters to prepare for lay' g the cloth for
dinner. The gardener's w fe knew hardly
any cookery exeept plain r eating and boil-
ing, but she was cleanly and willing, so,

Had Mr. Seymour not been so my near -
Bighted be must have been as much struck
as his guests by the exceeding eomelinese of
the servant, who, in a plain cap, apron and
Peter's white cotton gloves, announced
gravely thet " dinner waited."
It was a joyous and most successful enter-
tainment, and by-and-by, when Maude be-
_ga,n to opy the near end of her troubles, she
could hardly keep her geavity at the sotto
vow remarks upon her activity and appear-
ance.-
" Remarkably geod-looking 'help' you've
got, Seymour," oaid the Chicago millionaire,
"and mighty Fimart into the bargain,"
which encomium, however, was passed
while the subject of ib happened to be ae
the room door, receiving one of her own
daintiest confections to i.place upon the
table.
" Handsome help think .60 !" an-
swered Fred, innocently, without troubling
to look around. " Well, tastes differ, of
course."
A happy woman was lYlaude that night,
as looking prettier than eVer, in, her becom-
ing maiden -blush silk goven, she eat resting
on a low chair in the drenviug-room, expect-
ing her husband and his giaests.
" Lei me introdhce you to my wife," he -
said, proudly, as with his! glass fixed in his
eye, he presented them individually.
One ot the Norrises was a good amateur
artist, but strange to say, old Mr. Beatoun
was the only person to discover his hostess
identity with the charming "belp ;" and
then what peals of laughter there were and
how ge,ily and gallantly the cidevant idary
was complimented upon her little ruse,
while Fred's eyes grew so dim as he looked
at her, thet he had to wipe his princenez,
and turn away for an instant to recover
composure.
She had a very sweet voice, and this
being a time and place When even Aunt ,
Nancy would have voted for music, the
stran ere were treated ' some charming
balla e, and felt more co vinced than ever
that Fred's wife was the oh -i -Noor of her
lex.
But the upshot of the story was best of
all, for what should the niillionaire do next
morningafter breakfast le b ask his host and
hostess to live with him as his son and
daughter, saying, with qtatint old-fashioned
politeneen as he kissed her hand, "I shall
have the 'handsomest and spriest lady in
London at the head of my table when you
remove to the -Cromwell Road, where I have
purchased a house."
Which accordingly came to pass, to Aunt
Nancy's immense satisfaction. -

A BLESSING TO THE
HONIES OF CANADA.
No invention of the century now coming
to a close has done so much for the 'hUmes
of Canada as the Diamond Dyes. These re-
liable and never -failing dyes have saved
more money for our Canadian families than
.all other combined agencies.
Diamond Dyes, with their magical re-
creating powers, give to faded and dingy -
looking dresses, skirts, welds, blouses,
shawls capes, jackets, coats, ,vests, pants,
and oll' fabrics, light or heavy, a second life
—a condition of richness and beauty, in the
majority °Ceases far ahead of the original
colors and shades. It simply means that a
new dress, coat, jacket or other article of
wearing apparel is obtained at a cost of
from ten to twenty cents. This week is
now successfully carried on in tens of thous-
ands of happy and prosperous homes in our
Dominion.
If you have not yet tested the recreating
and econornieing powers of Diamond Dyes
in your hcime, you are losing money every
month. To achieve the victories that come
to others in money -saving, you should try
what Diamond Dyes can e do on your faded
and crest off clothing.
As there are imitation package dyes sold
in some stores for the sake of extra profit,
avoid these colors as they are ruinous eo
any material ; see 'that you get the Diamond
Dyes that make old things look as good as
new.

Milk and Diseas1 e.
Dr. Adami recently read a paper before
the Montreal Council of Women on " Milk
and Disease," stating that thet city Waif
twenty years behind the times in the civic
health requirements. Disease has recently
been traced to vitiated milk supply. Said
Dr. Adami " Impure milk especially af-
feots the developing systems of theyoung.
There continues unabated within this city
the terrible massacre ol innocents, of little
helpless children, from six months to five'
years of age --a massacre that is veritably
appalling, and which muet in the main be
asoribeel eo the employment of badly kept
milk," The total deaths of 1896 of children
under five years was more than half, 53.34,
After dealing with the statistics of the deathl
rate, .Dr. Adami said he ascribed a very
greate portion of these deaths directly. to
the milk supply. Milk is a fluid in which
bacteria flourish with great ease ; it ia in
fact an ideal food for bacteria. i In
epidemic after epidemic of diphtheria, leer -
let fever and typhoid, it has been absolutely
proved that the milk has been a Souece of
infection. Only within the last fe* months
Montreal had been mosb painfully eerpinded
of this fact by the occurrence of an lepiderilic

were laid ap with that disease, and .at least
two died, an epidemic sharply limited to
