That winter was what we called mild up there, and it passed most uneventfully for my tenants, and for me. We saw very little of each other since that chill to our friendship; but I soon began to find that the little pale woman, who was too acid to excite as much liking as she did pity and respect, had no idea of allowing the obligations between us to Iie all ou one side.

The climax of his rage was reached when, one evening at din- ner, surprised by an unusually sav- ory dish, I sent a message of con- gratulation to Janet. Like a north- ern Mephistopheles, his eyes flashed fire. "I didna know, sir, ye were so par- tial to kiekshaws," he said, haugh- tily, with the strong Scotch accent into which, on his return to his na- tive hills, he had allowed himself to relapse. I saw that I had made some fear- ful blunder, and said no more ; but I afterwards learned from Babiole, as a great secret, that her mother had prevailed upon Janet to yield up her daily duties as cook as far 0.8 my dinner was concerned; and my heart began to melt and soften as the winter wore on towards the strictly anonymous little chef who had delivered ins from the binding tyranny of haggis and cock-a- leekie. When the snow melted away from all but the tops of - the hills, and there came fresh little sproats of pale ,green among the dark feather foliage of the larches, a change Caine over tie tiny household of my tenants. From early morning until the sun began to sink low behind the hills, Babiole was never to be found at the cottage. Some- times, indeed, she would dash in at mid-day to dinner, as fresh and sweet as an opening rose; but more often she would stay' away until evening began to creep on, taking with her a most frugal meal of a couple of eandvviehes and a piece of shortbread.

A border, for instance, MI - proves a yello\y pine floor Immenee- ly, and makes it look like an ex- tensive parquet, while it is so elm - pie that anyone can make it. The first thing to do is to draw a line about a foot and a half from the wall all around the room. This can meetly be done, either by snapping a ehalked carpenter's string, or lay- th een two given points and a straight adrawing vthe lino with pointed chalk—white, not black, as the latter leaves a smut. This line when painted should be. about a half anon wide, and should be repeated next to the surface against the wall. The border should bo a simple, con- ventional design, stencilled, but if etenetls aro not to be had tho pro- minent shapes n the design can be cut out of brown paper and out- lined with a pencil, repeating there at regular intervals, the interven- ing spaces being Riled out after- ward. Any ordinary transparent palet, mixed wittf-turPenttne, makes a good stain, if care is taken not to get the eoforeng to dark. It le a good plan to have some motif to fol- low. The colored border on an Eng- lish porcelain plate proved a good model in ons instance, and the orna- mentation on a Dutch cabinet was othe r'.
