oven to under-clothing. 1t puts
to use all the odd ends of materi-
ais ono may have. Nothing can
go TO waste. Il wish you would
take pity on me, said T, and put
| me on tho right track, for I've got
tired of pinching and screwing to
no purpose" With all my heart.
I'm afraid you have always been,
like many others, a penny wiso
and n pound foolish but you
have only to send throo dollars,
and purchase yoar's subscription
to Dcmorest's Monthly Magazine.
That is tho aid, counselor, and
hclpmato I've been telling you
Of"
At this juncturo, Mrs. Brown
CHANGED to glance out Of tho win
dow. "I have just finished my
story in timo," said she, her voice
subsiding. "Thcre is Mrs. Wells
coming up tho garden path you
shall have her own testimony"
Bonnet and mantle disposed of,
and work in hand, the newcomer
was prepared for tho consultation
by an active rehearsal from Mrs.
Brown Of a portion Of her own
and her neighbours recent dis
course. Mrs. Wells entrance had
boon tho signal for the resolving
Of tho several little groups Of talk :
ers into a general conversation.
Not fow listoned anxiously for
her sentence upon Mrs. Browns
narrative.
~ am quite prepared to indorso
all said yesterday" returned she
at it's conclusion, smilingly survey
ing her auditors, "and I can even
say more. Mrs. Brown kindly
complimentcd me yesterday upon
tho arrangement Of my table, and
more than one of you praised tho
trifles in tho way Of pastry and
other refreshments I cont: ibuted
to the rcfrcshmcnt table Of our
last years fair. The household
department Of the Magazine was
my guido; it is especially devoted
to items Of interest to housokecp-
ers. You have seen such practi-
cal illustrations Of the value Of it's
various receipts, that need scarce
| ly to dwell upon it,"
"Whero did you learn Of tho ex-
istcncc Of your oraclc7" questioned
Mrs. Hart.
"I read Of it in tho village pa
per"
ooh, wo don't take that"
"Not take the Maysville Tim cs7
I'm surprised. Why, it's to every
ono's interest to take the local pa
pers. You get your moneys worth
over and over. I should as lief be
ont Of tho world as to be without
tho nows. My husband says he
sets as much store by them as l
do by my Demorcst's Monthly.
That must have been tho reason
why AIr. Wells did so much better
by his grain and hay than Mr..
Hart. You 500 no had the advan.
tage Of knowing how to soil, and
whom and hero to find a good
customer, and all this through the
paper, while noighbor Hart, even
though hos quite as shrcwd at
bargaining, had to trust to luck
after all. Mr.. Wells says he fnds
30 many items Of use to him about
gardening, and then there are the
quotations from the city markets.
1t won't do to trust to hcarsay
You want q reliable source for
such information. We watch the
paper, and arc generally just about
right for very good sale. Just
make u trial Of it, and if you don't
confess that you wonder how you
|, ever did without it, I'll pay the
cost Of your subscription"
Before any ono could reply thcre
was a slight stir at the doorway,
and tho ncxt moment chorus Of
voicos welcomed tho good shcp-
herd Of tho Maysvillo flock among
his people.
"What havo you thorc2" said
Jennie Kip, tho pet and belle pa,
eTccltence Of the village, as, after
: the greetings were over, tho rev.
