Making GOOD Housekeepers.

Miss Bentley gave an exhibition of her
garden pupils yesterday afternoon. The
class consisted of twenty-four littla
girls, ranging in age from II to u, and
representing almost every European
country. Their long white Finafores.
iiuIed muslin caps, and pr!m little ties.
gave them an appearance that was very
refreshing.
They entered the room in single file To
a military march, carrying miniature
tables and boxes. In the latter vera
linen, cutlery and small table furniture.
Brought to halt, Miss Bentley put
the little housewives through a caie-
chlsm of domestic literature, from
which the following quotations We're
caught:

Thoroughly once week" answered
a wee bit of Swede with q voice bigger
than herself.
What kind of a broom is best for
The cor,lers and edges of a room?"
-WhiSk broom" sang out q maid with
yellow pig-tails, who seemed te be hav-
ing her throat sawed by the well-laun-
dered tie under her chin.

feather duster?"

ton being: What three things aro
