Mary. It is a pity that more domestic serv ants have not taken to authorship, for some of them could have written most entertaining reminiscences. Foremost among those stands lied Lion Mary, who looked after lUirne-Jones and Wil liam Morris When they shared a studio at 17 lied Lion square. We are told that one morning after breakfast Mor ris came out on the landing and roared dow nstairs: "Mary, those six eggs were bad. I've eaten tliem, but don't let it occur again." Morris was in the habit of lunching daily off roast beef and plum pudding, no matter at what sea- , son of the year, records F. M. IlheCfer, j not a domestic servant, and he liked his puddings large. "Do you call that a pudding. Mary?" he shouted when served with one about the size of a breakfast cup, and, having added some impropriate objurgations, lie hurled it at her. This anecdote should not be taken to evidence settled brutality on his part. Red Lion Mary was one of his loyal supporters to the end of her days. ? L?ondon Chronicle. Competitive Examination.
