We are what iscacd comfortable couple
-me and my good lady.
have money in the funds, somr house pro-
pcrty and coal agency A portion Of the day
| uccupy in calling for rent and looking out for
the postman who may or may not tprobably
not, as rue;) bring orders for coal. My good
LADY, sees after the house when she is not hav-
ing nap or looking out Of the window, and
blows up the servant girl
We have several meals during the day. We
like little and often, and our servant girls get
rather ove!-ftd and saucy after time, if they
don't go away ILL., My good lady in the latter
case is generally very kind to them. Our last
girl was taken i'll, and We gave her week $
holiday some SOUP wine and oranges and her
wages as usual. This conduct on our part af-
teced this servant girl deeply, and she insisted
on sending her sister as substitute while she
was away.
Her sister came very early. My good lady
got up and let her in She was cuurtsevng on
the, doorstep ''lf you please, ma 'am, l'm
Jen,ima's sister," she said '"Fakc care,
said my good lady; you've upset The milk
can with your crinone
She came in and began to clear away the
supper things, and dropped plate. My good
lady told her where to find the breakfast
things, and she brought up cup without
handle it had slipped through her fingers
somehow. My good lady said, "The girls
willing, but she's nervous.
We have some nice china ornaments on the
parlor mantle piece While We were at break
fast she busted off u couple OF shepherdesses
Between that and dinner time, though, she
ouIy got through tumblcr aud an egg cup,
and | was beginning to think that she was get
ting steadler.
My good lady went down stairs to see how
dinner was getting on. She came up looking
very vexed indeed; She said; You know the
"I's gone /" "How?" asked. s'To piecesI );
She went down after this, and presently |
heard smash. My good lady shortly after
ward appeared. She was in tears. She said,
Those two dccaners y
said This is really becoming serious.
Hadn't we better send her about her buslness!'
My good lady replied, How unreasonable you
TO talk Her sister sent her out of kindness to
Us. 1t will hurt her feelings dreadfully if we
don't keep her." | said "How about our
feelings ?"
There was an awful smash down stairs just
at this moment. We sat still and waited
Jeuma's sister presently made her appearance
weeping bitterly She said, "Oh nam, oh
sir, I'm the uuluckiest girl that ever was, I've
lcll uoWh win the ulnnCr tray
said, "Wil you be kind enough to return
home? We're not cross with you, and here's
shilling; only, my good girl, depart while
there is yet whole piece of crockery in the
house."
She waved her arms wildly; and Knocked
lew ornamental things off a side board How
can | ever repay you?" she cried In plteous ac-
cents.
said, Your presence here, my good girl,
Is costing Us, on and average, about shilling
minute. II you would oDly 60 away and take
another situation--say, for instance in the
china shop at the corner of the street-we
might, with few years of penury and priva-
ton, gradually recover our losses
She saw it in the same light, and went. :
My good lady then descended to the kitchen
TO look after the dinner. Jemlma,s sister had
left Jug on the stairs, over which my good
lady stumbled and put her ankle out, also
breaking the jng.
Jemima's sister has called once or twice
since and said how sorry she was. We have
on these occasions put the chain up before
speaking to her. We think it advisable that
she should not come inside Of the house any
more.
