success. A large share of the entire

was abundant and rich, quickly served
and well received The entertainment,
consisting of music and singing, was such
as would please the most critical. The
performers caught the spirit of the people
and more than met their anticipations.

ECHOES OF THE WEEK.
for the OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES.

Written for the TELEGRAPH COURIER.
am watching with great amount of
interest the development of the plan for
''co-Operative kitchen" in Evanston, and
wondering what the outcome will be.
Fifty housewives have banded themselves
into conspiracy against the servant
girl" and have thrown fifty OF those
creatures upon the market, VoWlng that
they. as long as the vault of heaven hangs
over them as long as the Bellamy idea
lasts. will never allow themselves to be
governed by that powerful factor in do
nestle ecOnOmy-the ''mOdern Bridget.
Nv sympathy goes with the movement,
but fear me for the success Of it, eSpec-
iallv when I consider the little things
which disturb the lives of women in
small communities The plan of opera
tiOns is to have a common kitchen super
vised bv committee, and the dinners de-
livered in German kitchens heaven
alone knows what they are-by special
wagons. That is all very good but |
foreSee that in time every woman will de
sire that her dinner be sent her in differ
emf stvle of kitchen from that in which
her neighbor receives hers, and Mrs.
Smith will not have the same wagon stop
at her door as Mrs. Jones has. Mrs.
Brown thinks that Mrs. Robinson ought
not to belong to the same club as she does
because Mr. b. s boy was thraShed by
Mrs r. s, and the parents have cut each
other in consequence of young X. s as
sault All the fifty will want to be on the
committee, and all will want to be chair
man or rather chairwOman: Again think
how lonely some of those women will be,
those I mean who make cOnfidantS OF
their servant girls They will grow tired
Of the monotony of staying at home with
out having the girl to whom they may
talk. and they will soon create reaction
Of feeling in favor Of the old regime.
Lastly they will have no chance OF seeing
the swell gowns. as the servant girls in
Evanston set the fashions, and if these
down-trodden creatures are baniShed from
the city their mistreSseS will have 10 go
to Chicago to see the styles, which they
cannot very well do as most Of their time
will be taken up in receiving and return
inc German-kitchenS The servant girl
may not be perfect, but | think that until
something better is created or invented,
we shall have to put up with her.

unwary editors and that his opinion was
nothing. A nice way that !-EXpress an

mean anything. What becomes Of that

A story was told me this afternoon
about DR.. Hy.and, of Stoughton. A lady
living in town. not a hundred miles from
here went to consult him. This lady was
as they say in the best circles and in
penny newspapers - ''hebetudinous
crank. " She spent her time in detailing
to the neighbors her ailments. If she did
not sleep, she spoke about it all the next
day. and if she did sleep she talked about
it the next two days. When she saw the
DOCTOR he told her that there was nothing
wrong with her, that she needed only &C
tive exercise and interest in her surround
ings He said that he did not know if he
could cure her: Perhaps he could, but
he did not know if he would. for if he
cured her she may die in a short time, as
there wonld be nothing left for her if she
could not talk to the neighbors about hel
sufferings. Such honesty may not have
pleased the lady, but it deserves praise.

CHILDREN's COLUMN.
A sr. BERNARD STORY.

A Monk of the Alpine Monastery Of
the Grand Chartreusc, accompanied by
his faithful st. Bernard dog, was on
his way home up. the mountain one day,
when, by sudden mischance, he
slipped over steep place, and fell into
the snow many feet below. His dog
could not help him but by going
home to fetch the monks, and this he
did, plainly telling them at the monas-
terry by his barking and gestures that
they should follow him. Seeing that
Father Nicholas was not with his dog,
they set o ut with tho faithful creature,
which led them with joyous gambols
straight to where the monk lay half
buried in the snow; and he was rescued
from what would have been certain
death.
