An American woman who is married to
an English squire of high degree, says the
New York Tribune, tells the following
funny story of the fate of half a dozen
canvasback ducks which she had sent to
England as a present to her mother-in-
law. The latter was an excellent house
keeper, aud had professed herself to be
anxious to taste the renowned trans
atlantic dainty which she heard so ex-
travagantly praised. Carefully packed
In ice. the game arrived in good condition,
and Lady NJ, the recipient, invited a
couple of friends to partake of the much
Wanted delicacy.
"Faucy my feelings said the pretty
American describing the affair after

brought on the table done to death. and
stuffed with onions, sage Ind potatoes,

that it was the atrocious cooking and

There is decided difference of opinion
on this subject, which has presented itself
TO other young housekeepers before this
one. In most modern houses, even simple
ones, the difficulty is obviated by the pro
VldIng OF a servants bathroom, but in
many houses there still exists only the
family one

OF social position and long experience in
