ents of the groom are opposed to the affair
because the girl is poor, "and so the inter-
change of frequent vows becomes quite
necessary, and sometimes even journey
together to the home Ofsthe lovers. From
time to time the master of the house gets
a sight of this lover, especially if he
chances to go or return at an unaccus-
toned hour; sometimes at the gate, some
times on the area steps. He has long
been convinced of the honest intentions
OF the wooer, and of the truth of the
statements concerning the Numerous fam
lily circumstances, until one day he dis
covers that the appearance of this lover
does not have the requisite stability. The
slim blond whom he has met two or three
times has suddenly changed into little
brown one, or the civil figure of the fore
man is metamorphosedi into the uniformed
one of soldier, ETC., etc. Still the cook
can account for the change of decoration.
she" is sick; he has injured leg or arm
in the factory, and has sent his brother or
trusted friend to the desolate one,t to bring
his greetings, or to tell that the parents
have at last relented
This pretended love messenger ''is an
amiable creature she has known him so
long" This to explain any extra warmth
which the master may haveneticed in their
demeanor toward each other. And only
when this surprising change of persons
has reoccurred several times, does the
cook find herself forced to explain that it
is all off with the old love, the mother
was memorable, poor fellow, he was very
unhappy, but it could not be helped, and
so-''and now very respectable gentle
man has presented himself A gentle
man, not person, and has made her an
offer; a merchant with $500 salary; a
widower, who can marry her Immediately,
only she will not until she has saved
something for "ftting out" Her en-
ployes, though grown sceptical, close
their eyes, until coming one evening from
a party, perhaps rather early, they dis
cover that party has been in progress
in their own salon, and they find the

or whatever else the excited girl in her
hurry and bewilderment precipitately
stammers forth. The fortunate successor
of the deceased widower departs with an
awkward bow and the remark that he
only came to visit Carline. But Carline
receives instant warning from the mouth
of the indignant mistress, which indeed
IS probably recalled the next day; for, re-
fleets the mistress who knows, if [ en-
gage another cook perhaps two widowers
may die simultaneously and may find a
pair of Siamese twins some evening in
the kitchen.
The often deceived mistress is in fact
inexhautible in fantastic pictures of what
may be slumbering in the lap of possibil
ity, and, she considers, Carline is at least
honest except in the matter of the market
penny, but she cooks quite respectfully,
and she has a certain amount Of attach
ment to u.s. What if l took one who was
connected with criminals or notorious ras-
Gals. l saw such case in the paper to-day.
No, one must be thankful to have peo-
pie who are to be trusted in these particu-
lars, and Carline 'assures US that it
shall never happen again, and the roast
which the successor of the widower has
consumed \ itw only very little
one and quite dry!" ''and the cigars
which he smoked Carline AYERS were half
crushed and the master never would
have smoked them" And she is re-
spectacle girl, who has never done any
thing before, and should her parents
hear Of it they would be heart
broken, they are SC strict.
No, so y and the mistress shall
never regret, etc. etc. And SO the halfap-
peased mistress consents to overlook this
time, and promises severe discipline in
case of a second occurrence.
For the reinsurance of such readers as
have sharply defined feeling of justice,
it may be here decidedly remarked that
every cook does not discover the mental
physiognomy Of this Carline. Here, as
everywhere, there is minority more or
less free from the faults Of the mass.
Even the heart of cook may harbor
the noble emotions, faith, feeling Of duty,
love of truth; but such ideals are rare.
Whether the masters must not bear
share Of the blame for this rarity them
selves, is a question, and in how far the
old adage, "that every sosiety has tho
servants which it deserves" may apply.
