Recently in the New y 0rk Tribune was
recorded the confession of a young
woman to the effect that she invariably
''crammed'' conyersationally for a dinner
or an evening out. And now comes a lit
tie story, just appeared in print, showing
that She uncOnsciously followed an illus
trious example, no less than that of Nine
Necker, the famous mother of a still more
famous daughter-Mme. de Stael. 1t
seems that a certain NJ de Chastellard
was invited by her to a dinner party, and
he, BY some mistake, arrived al the house
too early, and sat down in the salon to wait
till the hostess appeared. While waiting
he wandered about the room, and pres
emily found behind q cushion little book,
which he took up, supposing it to be
book of extracts copied in. But, to his
great surprise, he read a long resume of
the subjects upon which Nine. Necker in
tended to talk that evening, and they
were actually labeled ''Tal1 with Mime
So-and-So on such thing" every ex-
pected guest being mentioned by name,
with the particular topics suitable to the
taste and calibre of each. M. de Chas-
tellard S own name was, of course, on the
list and he had just time to see what he
might expect in the way of conversation
at dinner, when the mistress of the house
came in and he quickly put the book back
whence he had taken it.

taught in the young women's schools and
colleges. ] was reminded of this thought
which has come to me often, again only
yesterday, on endeavoring to persuade a
thoroughly capable woman to undertake
the position of general housemaid with a
niece of mine, who has just begun her
housekeeping career. i don't like to live
with leddies as don't know how to keep
house, said Mary. They're that con
trary with the help there's no gettin' on, ,
and no amount of urging changed this
notion.
MARY used just the right word. Con
trary' is what young and inexperienced
mistresses are likely to be. They have
theories Of this and that sort, or they fol-
low the advice of every new acquaint-
ance, with whom the servant problem is
eagerly discussed, and the result is chaos
in the kitchen, as a rule.
And these immature mistresses work
positive injury outside their own kitch-
ems. Every careless housekeeper, or
every ignorant one, helps to demoralize
