Now here her troubles commenced /;
the seanstress who had always been
sewing for her was out of town the rest
were so much engaged that she could get
no one to sew for her. Now there was
no alternative but to do it herself What
in the world was she to do? She never in
her hfe mad done anything of the kind.
NOW her bright eyes were bedewcd with
tears, and in "pretty pet" which is
sometimes so becoming, she throws the
linen and scissors on the floor. In spite
Of her pride, she had to send for Aunt
Deborah.
! The old lady was sitting knitting las
usual when the servant came. She was
both delighted and surprised that Clara
should send for her, and made all haste
to get to her
"Why Aunt Deborah, Carlos is going
away in few weeks, and there are lots
OF clothes to make, and you know
have always had a seamstress but at
present she is out of town, and so L had
to try myself, Ma has gone to the Springs
80 have no one to show me unless you
will be kind enough to do so.
"Dont you remember what told you,
Clara, before you were married? Have
not my words come true? 1 will show
how to do anything, and will be most
happy in the undertaking."
After cutting and fixing. the work,
Aunt Deborah gave it to Clara, saying
that she must do it herself, or she would
never learn. After all necessary explain
tions were made, she left Clara, telling
her, at the same time, that when she
needed her services, she must not, for a
moment hesitate in sending for her.
81 must really acknowledge, after all
that what Aunt Deborah told me was
true, and, had / needed I would never
have regrtted it. But hope this is the
only trouble l will have to surmount."
All! Clara was much mistaken for very
often she had to send for Aunt Deborah
One day, shortly after the return OF
Carlos, several gentlemen were invited
there to dine. Clara knew exactly how
everything ought to be, and when ta-
BILE was tastefullv arranged, but did not
understand how to get about 1t herself
Her pastry cook had been taken sudden
ly i'll and what in the world was she to
do? Here was trouble, sure enough.
After spending some time in quest of
some cne, she, at last, had to stop at
Aunt Deborah's door.
Clara explained to the good old lady,
who very kindly offered to assist her.
"You see, my child" SAID Aunt De-
borah, show necessary it is for one to
know everything; and had you taken
my advice in time, it would have saved
you so much trouble. But we must hur-
ry, for it is getting late, and everything
is to fix"
But these were not half the troubles
that Clara hai to encounter, in conse-
quence of her ignorance of household
duties. She no longer thought it unnec-
essary to know how to do everything,
and very plainly saw that the useful edu-
cation was as requisite as the ornamen-
tai. She found that, in order to be a
happy wife, she must have knowledge
of "household goods; and that young
lady's education is not complete until
she is versed in everything relative to
domestic affairs.
In word, Clara found that Aunt De-
borah's advice would have saved her
much trouble, had she taken it in time
Under the instructions of her good aunt,
which she now gladly accepted, she inn
proved daily. Carlos saw how indus
trious Clara had become of late, and felt
as if he could never thank Aunt De-
borah enough for thus instructing his
young and beautiful wife in those duties
which render home an Eden.
