are wasteful Of coal, and she knows to an oupce
how little she can use In that maryelou,
place, French kitchen, where two or three

and perform such culinary feats as our great
roaring giants Of coal fires have no CO boepton
of, she fits about like fairy, creating magica
messes out of q raw material of the most ordi-

belle in her way, she does not think it be-
meath her dignity to tighten the household ex-
penses by practical economy and activity.

siderable surplus of stock, if prices do not in |
the mean time rule SO low as to induce very
free consumption. .......
