A BATCH or BREAD AND
A PUDDING. 1
BY A. B. WARD,
Nancy Newton was a blunderer, said
folks,who ought to know. If it wasn't
blundering, it was Worse ; and here they
tapped their heads, signifying there was
something within those precious spheres
which Nancy's ertircium lacked.
Her aunt Felicia—what a name to go
with sallow cheekteand a frame like a
harrtedder !—felt that she could have
done better by Nancy if she had had an
earlier start. For the child was ten
years old when her father left her
doubly orphaned, and Felicia 'Newton,
spinster, was called upon to fulfil the
duties of kinship, and to atone for
"such a bringing up as men folks give."
A straight diet of femininity, "over and
over" seams, bed -making, dish -washing,
Miss Newton prescribed, and admini-
• stered her own medicine. Nancy took
it meekly, but grew more reticent,
aaked fewer questions, and eolved ' her
problems by making reckless dashea at '
them, so winning her reputation, for
• blundering or worse.
"I declare i don't know whether you
are too bright or ain't bright enough,"
cried her aunt, after finding the &Iliad
flat cin the kitchen floor, fitting herself
to an old jack the elder had given her.
"But how in the name of goodness—
Turn -round here." Nancy revolved,
showing her small back with the lerge
garment pinned across, There were
slits in the clOth, where alterations were"'
to be made. t` How yo tt ever twisted
and turned," went on Atint Felicia tak-
ing out the pins andslipping the sleeves
on the girl's unwilling arms. "If you
wanted it fixed, why dida't you come to
rne ?"1
Nancy murmured some unintelligible
response. She could not tell her aunt
that any contortion was preferable, to
such STI appeal for help.
Eight years failed to alter the rela-
tiona between the two. Nancy grew
more" capable," but not a whit more
confidential. Aunt Felicia openly
exulted over the resultof her own
training, but eyed the blenk, fair face
before her with suspicion wellnigh be-
come distrust. "She's glib enough out-
side, makes friends. has attentions. I
wonder why We two don't get on bet-
ter ?" mused the old ledy. She was
sixty -,eight, or, would be on the morrow.
The nearness'of the festival, the promi-
nence it gave ! her mounting score of
yearsn brought a pensive influence to
bear upon her, The old heart yearned
over the young one.
"Nannie," he said, gently, "I've
ben telling Mie' Barker an' Mia' Skelton
an' Mis' Briggs, that's cctmin' to dinner
to-raorrer, how you could cook. Now,
I'm gin' to la* back an' let you do it
all. I won't raise a finger., so to show
'ern what I say's true. How'd you like
that?"
It was a delicate compliment, and
tendered generously, without a hint of
possible blundering. Naney nodded ap-
preciatively ; " First-rate, Aunt Flicia.
What you goin' to have ?"
"I've promieed 'ern b'iled dish,
'carafe they don't; all of 'em get it, nowa-
days—leastwise Mis' Skelton an' Mis'
Briggs don't—aa' b'iled Injin puddin'.
You'd best set a. pan o' biseuit doin' to-
night. 'Come to think of it, we need
bread ; may as well make a whole batch
while you're abbut it,"
•
There was meeting 1 that night, and
afterward Nancy loitered through the
• fragrant/ lanes with her eacort, Jo
Barker. The vehippoorwills were sing-
ing as if their honor depended upon get-
ting in as many notes as possible before
daybreak. A wild -grape vine climbed
the rail fence, and held its fragile blos-
soms out to ehe moonlight and the soft
night breeze. ,
"Mon -in ! Ain't that sweet ?" •cried
_
Jo, rateterously. "1 don't know Any-
thing sweeter, 'less it's "—here the pre-
caution of a glance at his companion
told him to hedge a little—d"less it's
roses. By -the -way, our sweetbrier's
out full. Don't you want a pitcher of
'em for your dinner table toonorrer ?"
For Jot• mother was one of the prospec-
tive guests, and Nancy' e debut as a cook
had been a thence of conversation on the
homeward walk. 1
• "Ya, indeed," responded Nancy,
cordially. "You're jutas good as you
can be to think of it. :
"Don't know 'bout that," said Jo,
with proper humility. •
Then the two said good -night, and
Nancy went in to her bread -making.
Aunt Felicia had retired for the night -
*The kitchen fire was out, and the lamp
was frugally turned •down. The place
seemed chilly and dull after the radi-
• ance without. . Rapidly, and as quietly
as possible, Nancy put away her bonnet
and shawl, and, brought flour, milk, and
the jar of foaming yeaet. " Wish 't
aunt had left a Coal or two, enough to
warm the milk,!" she thought. "G-11088
lt '11 be ell right, though." -
It looked promising, a round, smooth

which Wreatled with it. They turned
and kneaded a d turned again, with a
rhythmic motion ; then she caught a
!sharp knife, cleft the Mas, gathered the
pieces deftly together, and, fell again to
kneading.
After !ell, innocent and hopeful as the
infant batch !reeked when tucked into

her heare, awoke at intervals during the
night to avorry, and stole down into the
to learn he were. Inert, and helpless
kitchen Tith the first gleam of daylight
lay the dough, precisely at low-water
mark.
,
" That ever she'll do ?" sighed the
unfortunate debutante. "It '11 never
do to let Mis' Briggs and Mis' Skelton
and Jo's neethee put that stuff into their
mouthadl She glanced wildly about
hew. The odor of a burnt sacrifice would
not be pleasing to the divinity above -
t
stairs, w o was to be heard even now
preparin to descend. ,There was no
time to be lost. Nancy caught up tbe
dough, bore it hastily to the flower bed,
where trim geraniums left the ground
open between their stems, dug a grave
in their midst, dumped in the offending
dough, tild covered it with earth.
When Annt Felicia appeared a few min-
utes late, there were no signs of the
recent tragedy.
‘‘ Seems to Me you're pretty airly,"
said Aunt Felioia, not disapprovingly.
" Breadie.? Why, you don't raean to
say you forget it ? That's just like you,
Nancy Newton. Now, what ever shalt

I'd set up." She ran on and on, giving
the culprit no Opportunity to tell the
000.000.0004114.4.00,1,4r,
truth—at least so the culprit assured,
herself. .
"What shall 4 do 2" repeated Aunt
Felicia.
"I'll make some cream•tartar biscuit.
Those last you said were good," pro-,
posed Nancy. And With this the hero-
ine of the day was forced to content her-
self.
Jo Barker made his appearance' about
ten o'clock, his hands full of sweetbrier.
Nancy met him t the door, and the
two stood and ossiped on th el flag-
stones without. great many things
seemed to have happened to discuss
ranee the night before. Suddenly Jo
stopped in the mi at of a sentence.
"What is that • ut there in the 'flower
bed ?" he asked.
Nancy gave a a art. fitailty premoni-
tion e blanched be cheek and quickened
her heartbeats. A little mound had
Hort in the centre of the flower bed, and
out of the top pa ed, like lava from an
active volcano, th t dreadful dough.
"What is it?" ` epested Jo, curiously,
going te the spot nd poking at the phe-
nomenon with a s ick. '
" It's—ita brea

"Oh. 's -ah! for mercys sake !" im-

and looking thwar the h use. "'She'll

but she'll come ri ht rou d to this side
of the house if you m ke so much

Jo endeavored • anfull to restrain
his mirth, but it b oke aw y and ran its
course in spite of hhtt. "1 hat's the best

eyes. "Well, we 11 have o bury it over

The neglect of t e brea -making ran-
kled in Aunt Felic'a's bre et. Promise
or no promise, she would ot again risk
her dinner.
Not until the c icken, the corned -
beef, and the salt ork we e dafe in the
iron pot together, and t e Evegetables
were prepared to j in thrn, and the
puddingwas under way, di ;she relax
her hold on the hel n.
Nancy, meanwhile, ;was quaking in
her shoes over anot er disc very oL her
own improvidence. There *as ot a
particle of Indian mal for he pudding.
The store was miles away. Mts. Bar-
ker was the only ne r neigh or, and to
borrow of prospecti‘ e " co pany " was,
to say the least, hu iliatin .
There was nothiu else t be done.
She dallied about w'th spoo and bowl,
pretending to put in this an31 that. At
last Aunt Felicia w ut to li down for
an hour before 'donn ng the best black

"Oh, Jo," she ga ped, "this is one of

Nancy spoke hurriedly in her nervous-
ness.
Mrs. Barker set down the bowl she
was washing. "1 haul got any meal,"
she said, in a puzzled voice. "Ben out
for a week, an' kep' a-tellin' we'd have

other. It was all I had for the pud-
ding. I found it in a brown paper bag
on the lower shelf in the pantry."
" For the land sakes !" Mrs. Barker
ave vent to a shout to mate with that
her son sent up on discovering the buried
ki ough. And here there was no Aunt
elicia to terrorize her into silence.
She nicked to and fro, her face growing
purple with emotions, for which her
shrieks and her rocking furnished inade-
quate outlet. Nancy looked bewildered
in turn. tVhat was there in the bor-
rowed meal so agonizingly funny? It
was some time before Mrs. Barker could
explain herself, and then she exploded,
between fits • and gusts of laughter:
" You've—et—the—inside—of—a—pin-
cushion—Pd—had—twenteefive—years.
1—emptied —it—in—the— hag—to-pick
—out—the—needles—an'—forgot--to —
throw—it—away." She stopped with a
moan, and held her sides, completely
overcome by the storm which had passed
over her.
Nancy laughed, a hysterical little gig-
gle, with more of distress than of merri-
ment in it. With it struggled a feeling
of disgust; she too had partaken of the
pudding. But embarrassment soon
yielded to gratitude toward the merry
*tont who could laugh over such an ex-
perience. The blunderer had fallen
into kind hands.
"You're awfully good," she said as
she stood up to go.
"Don't say a word," replied Mrs.
Barker, reassuringly. "1 won't tell a
soul, 'lees it's Jo, He'll be tickled
almost to death."
"I'm afraid he'll tell," demurred
NrcYh.
Ono, he won't," said Jo's mother.
"He sets too much by you."
And he never did tell, not even when
he became Nancy's husband. He held
her eccentricities plain indications of
genius. It was Nancy herself who,
learning to look with tolerance upon
her blunders, told of the remarkable day
when she beried the bread dough, and
made a pudding out of a pin -cushion.
•
Moonlight Courtship.
The rnan in the moan is a very intelli-
gent person. He sees a great many
thiugs that he never tells about; but in
this gay summer time won't you be a
little careful that when he Woke down on
you he will' be able to gossiP co the eters
and the daily newspapers. about what
you are doing because it i• so innocent?
Won't you just remember that while
the moon looks dowu on you sailing at
night alone with some favored admirer
he is thinkieg to himself all the time,
"How foolish that girl is to go:out with
just that one ma,n. He cannot talk to
her and manage the boat too; and there
is certain to be trouble. Why in the
world did she not have a whole party
come out with her ?" Now, that is a
very wise thought for a gentleman who
lives up in the moon. Then,when he Sees
you strolling through the woods a mile
from home, and only one of the moat
charming young fellows in the world with
you; sees you hunting for wild flowers
under his dim light, aud notices the im-
mense amount of interest you take in
each other, he apparently shrugs his
shoulders and thinks out loud, " Well,
well ! What a lot of fooliahnese there la
in girls, anyway. She will catch cold
out in the night air with nothing around
her; she won't find half as many flowers
as she would if my friend, the Kin was
shining bright, and she will probably
trip over a atone or a fallen branch.
E'ven•if she wanted to come out just to
talk to the young man she is very fool-
ish, because he would think she was a
great deal more desirable if she insisted
on staying at home and sitting on the
veranda, where all the rest of the people
are. He _could talk to her quietly, and
he would, think how much nicer it was
for her to be there than to be out ramb-
ling in the woods, even with him, for if
she went with him it is just possible she
might go with any other man who asked
her." The man in the moon is very,
very wise. Ho has looked down upon
millions and billions of girls, and he
knows what he is talking about; and if
you take his advice and -mine the little
bit of sweet hearting that goes on under
the moonlight will be where all the rest
of the people are.—Ruth Ashmore, in
Ladies' Home Journal.
Sleeping for Beauty.'
Sleep. is, under right conditions, a
wouderfur tonic to the human system.
Few women realize itsvalue, and yet it
is said that Hatti and Lucca and all the
great singers and actresses and famous
beauties, who, like Madame Recamier,
were wondrouely beautiful at an age
when ordinary women retire from the
festive scenes of life, have owed their
well preserved beauty to sleep. A beau-
tiful woman who at fifty has the bril-
liancy of youth in her eyes and skietand
the animation of gislhood in her form.
declares thatshe has made it a rule ell
her life to retire whenever possible at
nine o'clock. And American women, of
all classes, need the rest and refreshment
which sleep can give to overwrought
nerves and overworked systems.
If sleep is not easily induced, light
physical exercise should be taken nightly
before retiring, untA the blood is di-
rected into proper channels. Then
upon seeking the couch the eyelids
close as naturally as those of a healthy
child. The knowledge which women
need above all else is a knowledge of
self. To study intelligently nature's
laws is to enter the widest realm that
human feet can tread; to outer, in a
word, the kingdom of righteousness,
where all is beautiful and fair, because
all is good that is in conformation with
the will of the highest.—Light.
