TWe like this story very much, because we
know that it will do good. We hope that all
house-keepers will read it. Ed
Mr. and Mrs Fairfax sat down to dinner at
twelve o'clock, Of warm September day. 1t
was rather tempting meal, for Mr.. Fairfax
liked good dishes and Mrs. Fairfax knew how
to cook them. The spring chickens-innocent
things-were done brown" the baked pota-
toes had not shrunk in their skins with waiting
in cooling oven the bread was soft and snowy
the butter hard and golden ; and the juicy peach
pie, covered with white napkin, which could
not hide the tell-tale inequalities of its crust, had
been an object of special skill and pains-iak-
ing on the part Of the young house keeper
that morning.
Mrs. Fairfax had been scrupulously careful
to keep the door closed, which led from her heat
ed kitchen into the little back dining-room, as
also to see that the windows of the latter, though
open, were kept darkened. In consequence of
this attention, the little room was not only cool,
but free from flies, those pests of the tidy house
wife, particularly in early autumn, when the
troublesome insects fy low and heavily. Mr..
Fairfax sat down to the table, thinking that
everything looked very comfortable and inviting,
after that hard forenoon's work, and being en-
outraged by Mrs F., he presently began to
talk.
