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.

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." .

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.

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 ; his wealth—at least, rib sure it's wh t he ought to do, Ile visaed the John Sey- inours lase week, Cousin B uce on Monday, and dine here yesterday, hen; as bet een ; ourselven, he seemed a bit f a gourman .

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. We are go g to take a ru to indoor, or sornewher a 'blaring the d y, but Pll take care you a e not kept wait ng." Abouth lapast eleven re.

" 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, as Maude undertook the more reeberch dishes, and by five o'clock matters were so -well in train that her s hits grew quite liga again ; Fred would not be affronted after all. . Joyfully' she danced up , to the dining - room, gave a finishing tonch to the lad's table arrangements, instrulited Ihim how to wait single-handed and r mised, if he did his best, be should be i orally rewarded neAxtyddairny.e 1 As -she epoke crack. went the neck of a bottle of sherry h was uncorking, and cut his right hand fearf Ily.

But for the prospect of red's speedy ar- rival with bhe four strangetis this freah mis- hap would have " floored " her entirely, but again sbe 86rewed up conrage to the point of duty. , One cemfort was, the ' entire operations were proceeding satiefac ory. '-‘ Now, Mrs. Adams," she said " I m sure yen will dish every hing nicely, and be sure the plates are, ot.' " Yes, a'am, but I' astonished how well a yonng lady like yo understands thein sort of mateers." " I learnt all that at the cookery class, whore I be an at the beginning with scul- lery woek." " Dear e, ma'am ! It's wonderful how the gentry does thin s nowaday ; and I must say y u make pu mete first- ate. But what ii to lbe done about waitini ? That stupid boy is quite helpless with is hand." ' I mean Ito wait myself." " You, Ma'am ?" • " Yes ; there's no help for it. Stay.

M husband is so short-sight#1 he'll never fin out the difference, and, sis for the.others, t ey never saw me in their lives." When the party arrived in hig spirits, their host left them in the draw ng -room, and went to look fer his wife, who bad not yet put on ,her official " fixings," and who said, quietly : " P tem has out hie hand so badly he can't wait, so one less at the table will be convenient when there's only a wo- man. Besides, den'ti you think, dear, you will enjoy yourselves better without me, and when you come to the drawing -room 1 shall be ready to sing and make myself generally agreeable ?" . .

CHAPTRR 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. - (THE END.) • 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.

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 of typhoid, in which some fiftY persons were laid ap with that disease, and .at least two died, an epidemic sharply limited to 1 s some are To=day.
