pretty picture, and as little Mary ojx'uod
a bureau drawer 1 noticed how neat and
orderly it wus as was also h«*r elos< t,
where the shoes and rubbers even w*‘ro
set back against the basclM»jird with
regularity a*vl precision. 1 as.ked Mrs.
Vhii Dyke when we were nlom* if Mary,
who was nine yi'ars old, arranged her
doHet and drawers herself, to. which
question her mother replied:
"Certainly. 1 taught all mv children
before tlK-y were two years ow to 1>c or
derly. Even at that agv,” shV said,
"you know* they are very imitative, and
they love to do little services for -tfioir
iimfhers. 1 showed them just how to
put their clothes and shoes away jn an
orderly manner, and how to lay tilings
in their drawers ami keep them neatly.
Those early lessons they will never for-
gft. )1 believe,” she added, "itS matt.-v
how many servants one can afford to
have it is well to teach children to l*«
self reliant, and to do everything
promptly and well. Such teaching
eaves a Vast airi*'rmt of work and of un-
iwcemary friction through life. Tni*v it
is that aouic children seem to have nat
urally more of a bnmpof order than
Others, but the orderly habit can l>e cul
tivated. If the hanging loop of Mary's
Coat should give way, po ovderly has
she tiecouiA she would not for a monievt

the loop was mended.”

the niarnen. if ho hud lives! out of
eervice for x hundred ~y<»ars ho would

him, Philip looked around the room
ami congratulated himself. Everything
was very neat ami clean. Tho landlord
was n caqiital fellow—a tittle solemn,
perhaps, but still a capital fellow. This
was far nlswe tho accommodation which
Ii*- had qxpected.
Just then a light f«*'itf.ill came np tho
stairs, and Philip caught a snatch of a
French song. Tho song stiqiped short
just U.'fore the footfall passed his door.
Philip conjectured that this must Ik* tho
daughter, and that it had U-en n French
maid that Hill had married—hence the
rmnjm Jean no and that snatch of song;
also that the daughter had lxk*n warned
Of his arrival, and had gono to put on
her prettiest dress. All of these con
jectures wero quite correct. And yet
when Jean no cntefoil the sitting room, a
few minutes afterward, and saw Philip
for the first time, she was so startled!
that sho shqwed it slightly. Philip was
also a little surprised, for a different
reason, and did not show it at all. Ho

There is no spectacle in tho world more

Ordinary iktsous will buy no end ot
champagne for a theatrical man if they
think there is such a thing us a iKise m

their judgment •
Why a man will spen^ ten dollars m
