THE BEGINNING OF THE END.
Raymond was seated in the rectory
Of the little parish church just across
from the convent. There the marriage
ceremony was to be performed. Isabel
was to come from the convent, attended
by the sister of the priest, who was pas
tor of the little parish and chaplain to
the sisters. Raymond had requested
the privileges of escorting her from tho
convent, but Mother st. Gertrude, who

would not tolerate the slightest infrac-
tion of the rule that no bride should be
recognized therein but she who had
taken VOWS to the Saviour.
There was delay. Isabel had besn

stions and had tainted. Word had been
sent to Raymond that she had recovered

the rectory was ajar, and Raymond was

MY DEAR READER-When Bridget has left

for fortnight, when you are tired and sick,
and have spoiled your new tea-sown and
skinned your knuckles and burned your arm
and scalded your instep, and opened the door
for company with smudge on your nose,
and listened in many intelligence Offices to a
sort of lay catechism, beginning: Glow
many have We in the family? Is there man
for the hayter? Do ye put out the shirts?
What's me holidays?" and so forth, and to
have a permanent Bridget in the kitchen
seems so unmixed q good that you begin to
wish you owned slaves. principle or no prin-
ciple-when your better-haif has asked you
if you do not think you would have less
trouble if you were, perhaps a little more
considerate to your servants-then, having
wept sore, and lifted up your voice in lamen-
tation, do you not often inquire of yourself:
els it possible that this is so?' and reviewing
the past, promise yourself to do better in
future. You will never interfere again
interfering is going into the kitchen when
your presence is not desired-you will accept

order to allow the dishes TO be washed
