• the trial - of my bridal days, and, w

. • Well, We got home, and the first in.

denying that fact. , I had heard about

great- citi my home, I mentally dete i
minedthat I should cheerfully put
With than when they came. But I di
not expeat one on the first day.
--" My dear, there is a regular pea SoU
fog on," said Charley, as we puffed an
snorted 'into the station at Charing
Cross. Such a 'change from Venice
Dear me t But then, of Course, one's life
cannot beione long honeymoon!
We gothome somehow • that night
very late and very cad, and found u.
bright English fire awaiting us, and als
a trim English servant. She looked s
• demure a3d sa elegant, with a whit
s rose;te pinned to her shoulder in honor
of me; that I dreaded the moment when
I should like to . give her an order. T
-reit very much more like a visitor in herf
home than a mistress in my OW11, especi-
ally when she said: -- ,
"If you, pleas, 'um, thisIithe dining
rabm, and. shall I show you to your
room, 'um 4uld please, 'um, cook toys as
i
r
when will ou have supper served ?"
. And this was my home, whielr I had
- never see before! But Charley had
1%. tad me soonuch about it, and drawn
' ' pictures antdplans of it on the backs of
. every envelope and on every stray scrap
of paper during our wedding tour, that
I felt quite familiar with it. Next
morning Charley had to go off.te; town
very early,ibecause he had been playing
truant to eldisgraceful extent, he said,
and really must not idle any more; so I
was left alone to get acquainted with my
new home. It was very nice, andvery
different fr in what I was accustomed
to ;a 1ittIe.toy house of red brick, with
blesand augies and funny 'windows.
_ Charley ha4 said that he had the heavy
' baggage all unloaded, but that he left
the orname ts and knickknacks for me
, to add ; in thongh there .was quite a..
respectable amount of furniture in each
room, -yet everything looked new and
shiny, and, it must be confessed, some-.,
what unhemelike. - -
' the k itchen.P Not that my cook got
. My first tiial . took place, of course, in
or sto e the meat; she Was a
•'model servant in every way.. But 'lid
not know the names of anything, it
seemed to me. The familiar pots and
. kettles, frho e uses and. names I under-
stood very well in mamma's- kitchenat-home, had disappeared and givenplaceto saucepans innumerable. The very
dishes and plates had changed names,
and glasses Meant wine -glasses exclu-
sively. In fact, I was almost tongue: -
tied with thel dread of using a wrong
.
--
. word and he g the Lok say inquir-
-i
, ngly, "Perhaps it's' the jug you mean,
• !ffia," when I had called it a pitcher!
• The dish -cloths were not dish -cloths,
they had bec me rubbers; and rubkers
Were rubbers no longer, but had chang-
ed into goloshes !' Icor did my perplex -
n;
Ity cease in - own house; it haunted
. me when sho ping, and even pursued
me to the ket. I wanted some coarse
muslin for a ragbag,, for I was going to
be the neatest of housekeepers. I,.
, sought itjarget emporium 'wherein every-
• thing is sold, and asked for muslin,
coarse and strong. I was shown deli-
-este, filmy webs, suitable for a nymph's
baft dress -if tiymphs ever require ball -
dresses, that is. 'tried to eXplain. The
bland shopman comprehended me not.
Finally I sai , tentatively, hoping he
might nnderstand, that I-, wanted some
cotton, strong and coarse; he brought
me some spode" of No. 20 thread. At
length.' e0i d :the very thing on a
shelf. •, '
"That's what I want," I said, exult-
ingly.
• ". Thot, ma' m ; wliy, that's calla! !!'
was his scornful reply.
Somewhat disconcerted after this re-
pulse, I went to make another purchase,
and accosted ' tie of those polite gentle;
- man at the co ntcr, who inquired, after
the manner of hie race
" What can get for you this -morn -
in
at g, madom ?", _
- . 4" Lwant-entumbrella" said I.
"An umbrella, madam ?"
4 i..f Yes, said rl, in desperation; "if you
call itan umbrIla-I want something
to keep the rain off my hat." '
" Certainly, madam, certainly," he
said, hurriedly, in an apprehensive Bort
of way, as he proceeded to !get what I
wanted. All the while he kept. eyeing
- me with nervous, anxious glance, so that
I feel convinced he thoughtme an eseap-,
ed lunatic.
And yet wel are supposed to speak
-- the same language on both -sides of the

we did not, for then Ahem would be die-

should not have that. horrid feeling of
being in a nightmare where things are
the same and yt different in a way that
is distracting. t -

a week after our home coining.

fastened to my heart, for It began beat-
ing-__1,1olently the moment the bell rang.
The door opened, and Maria, that is,
the trim maid, announced Mrs. Jessop,
in.her most dignified manner: My head
swam, my eyes' grey- dark, but I stood
up somehow and bowed_to the advancing
figure. Charley told me never to shake
hands od mee .'ftg &stranger for the first
time, but only after introduction myths
-leave-taking. Mrs. Jessop stepped for
r ornieg-hht,oh
aIfsezyiati
second, and then she laughed a
l
f "Well, my dear, I hope I'm Your first
0, visitor,"she said, and her words seemed
e like a summer breeze in their fresh joy-
ousness. . . '
" res, you are," I replied. I wanted
to say more, but I was suddenly'!•emind-
ed by the full sound "of her voice and
accent that my own- were so very differ-
ent;
"That's right," resumed the Summer
Breeze. -4‘ You see, I have known Your
husband -a longtime and when he went
off to America for his wife I said, Pear
mel that poor thing mill be frightfully
lonely and miserable here in London at
flret, and III go and see her to make her
feel at home."
I answered suitably, I hope, but I said
with NOM warmth ° that I was not one '
bit lonely and miserable ; whereupon the
Summer Breeze laughed again. .
"Oh,you young brides I You are so
on the ookout for slights at your happi-
ness. ' I didn't mean that. • Now tell
me, Were you not dreadingyour visitors?
I am sure you were; you imagine that -
we are different from you -Americans,
and that you'll fidd -ds hard to get on
With. Not a bit of it, if yon -are only
not afraid of us." And so she rattled on
most delightfully of this and the other.
When she got up to go, saying that she
had stayed 'muck longer than she intend-
ed, she kissed me ,good -by and said she
hoped to see: much of me. I had no
idea hew the time had flown, and when
Charley came back and I told him "he
had called he was pleased, remarking
that everybody, liked Mrs. Jessop.
Encouraged by this success, I awaited
my next visitor with comparative t mi-
quility; The minnection, between the
bell -wire and my heart was decidedly
less vivid. 1 hirdly.,minded when
Maria announced Mrs; Kingston. But,
oh! where was the. genial Summer
• Breeze now! Its presence Was sorely
needed, Mrs: Kingston entered the
room with slow and stately carriage,
and froze me with the dignity of her
bow. She had been anxious to make my
acquaintance, the said,. in a voice from
the North Pole that almost made nie
shiver.Her eyes took in at a glance
both me and everything in the room,
and made me horribly wonder if zny
dress was on wrong side before or if the.
.coal -box was ° standing on the ma o.

Mrs. Kingston smiled frequently in a
mechanical sort of way; that is, she
parted her well cut lips and showed her
fine teeth for an instant, then suddenly
closed the lips tight just as if her -mouth

in a few minutes a boiling kettle was

'cups and saucers, and thin bread:and

" Don't YMI take tea?"
"No, never," I replied,
"What db you drink, -then . What

I was endeavoring to reply to. all these

Mrs. Kingston entered, accompanied; of

"How Very extraordinary 1" she ex
claimed. I wonder you can exist! 1.
don't believe I eOul4 live through one

that" Must have always." -
This discourse was ' abundantly illum-
inated aocording to Mrs, Kingston's
peculiar potent. As the ladies - drank
their tea and thus expressed themselves,_
a horrible thought entered my brain,
Perhaps should .have offered them tea
when they came to see me .! I gothot

that wicked Charley -1, -not to ward me

- It was true enough. Charley cor-
roborated my worst fears. A hostess
' was e'xpectecl to have tea for visitors, r
and tilere I had let fifty-six English
ladiea come. to see me ;without ,ever -
having offered -them a cup; ofthat tea
