or something Of the kind. It is always
there by itself, or one just like it, and
now and then. if you pass the place
regularly. you will see a grandmother

You know there is only one baby iii
that house and you know how that
baby is wOrshipped by the care that is
taken to keep its little slip neat and
clean. Almost threadbare it looks,
flying in the sun and, manlike, You
wonder that any one should take SO
much care for the little thing. No

no one would ever know whether its
clothes were clean or not. but there the

baby.
Much as the casual traveller thinks
he knows about clothes-lincs from the
occasional glimpses Given by car win
dows, it takes pilgrimage among the
flats to find out the truc meaning Of all
this. A day or two will show how the
occupants Of different flats draw lots
for washing day 50 rs not to interfere
with one another and keep the sun
from one anothcr's clothes. The up-

The old way Of running pullcys from

OLD MAIDS WASHING.

Now and then one runs across line
OF washing SO unmistakeable that even
those uninitiated into the mysteries OF
clothes-line ethics can tell its story.
The humblest observer knows with his
eyes shut that the line of clothes that
stretches across this column.belongs to
one Of that delightfully."- careful class of
women known rs old maids. The old
maid goes strongly for clothes-pins
which sho carries in her mouth as
calmly as another woman would carry
hairpins. Every pair of stockings is
fastened down by two pins instead of
the customary one, and those other
garments, which, like the limbs Of the
Queen Of Spain. ara. politely supposed
not to exist are anchored down in an
even stronger WY She never loses
anything by high wind. Far be it
from her to risk those near and dear
garments by insecure fastenings. Once
away she could never summon cour-
ago to ask for them, and SO a double
supply Of clothcs-pins calms her soul.
From this humble custom one learns
that clothes of a feather flock together
on the same line, aud double fasten-
ing, like virtue, is its own reward.
