must keep q GIRL and of course her rosy
checked girl who want d TO attend a ball one
or two evenings in week, and wished to

ker's bread OF more Expense and less relish,
together with other it me- Of Ike nature.
OF course there ma It be a FIRE in the kiich
en-. and one 10 the dining room, and one nu

might call, though Mrs. Sadler being stran-
ger in the city, hal few acqrantances /; bu

Charley praised her for her industry and
taste, and wore it once or twice to place Cla

and felt more at ease in his old coat. @
Then there were lights of co rse the
servent must hayl one, and certrinly Clarinda
could no. sit in he dark ,ni there must be

entire income, and yet all the while Clarin la
was striving to be n ,table housewife, an to
