brought by Cora and Bess, the two
oldest of the Varner children,whenthey
went in at idra. i3reedloW's back gate to
buy a cfnart of shimmed milk. 1 -
Of this invitation Mra.,13reedlow WAS
rompt to avail herself, having inher-
ited her full share of 'Mother Eve's
ruling puska. Her opinion of the new
neighbor was not raised_by finding that
she was to have no best room or parlor.
The little- back kitchen was to 'Serve as

!teddy work, Mrs. Varner hoped to put.
tboarder in the other room, and Mrs.
reedlaw's kind though coarse face li-
med Lizzie to askher advice about
ding a suitable person. -
"Well, now;" said the neighbor, as
they sat together on the steps of the
tiny front porch, "Mein' as you only
ant her for a time, I can tell you the
very. one as '11 come. That's Polly
Thornton. Mind you, she won't stay-

that Miss Thornton was an Old maid
who had no belongings, ,but Was always
boarding around, finding so much fault
with her hosts that all her plans ended
quarrelsomely. • • - - •

mtin's scornful comment, ' - -
. "Humph, she's been livin' to, the

tled -the question of Mrs. Varner's wide
experience. . .
Mrs. Breedlow looked at her own rose

of pleasure, ancLby.the thne the buds

-learned that herlittle fluffy chickens,
which she had heretofore looked upon
as merely a troublesome means ot gii-U

tune both for summer and winter: ' In

She had not been -six months in the Va-
rier family before the steady, unclouded
sunshine of Lizzie's kindness and Mr,-
'beara„nie dispelled the thickness of the
gloom id which the old maid had more
and more enwrapped herself, and made
life a different thing.
As winter came on, Miss Polly's north
rooM, which hed been so coinfortable in
aumr4ler became rather dismal; but be-
fore he could take up the burden .of
complaint, she found herself whisked
across the passage, bag . and baggage,
into izzle's"south room, with two sunny

and red geraniums. AO *all through'

remarked to her neighbor across the
fence.

"Did you ever hear, Mrs. BreeidlOvi,

"Stiiffing:children with tastily'prapared
dishes, often almost void of nutriment,
sometimes too rich in it, from imperfect
knowledge at their needs , and powers of
digestion, is erhaps.the Most common
cause of temporary sickness; while it
pares the way, -prepares the body, for
the most serious diseases. Give the
darlings what they desire of good milk,
good bread and fruits in season, not too
much "preserved " or sweetened. If
dishes; all th more real happiness will
they never learn the taste of rich fancy
