"Why, then, did you consent to be my

His tones were calm now with the calm
ness which precedes the mountain storm.
when all nature is hushed and not leafiet
stirs, not even a blade of grass trembles. until
with mighty roar heaven discharges its ar
tiiiery and the hills quake.

You have no right to indignation. Have you

But no forgiving glance answered my ap-
peal. Pitilessly and coldly the man spoke in
cutting tones:

scenes. Perhaps Mr.. Withers has regained

perience than the real ruler thereof. 1t isn't
pleasant to feel under 1. ban of criticism con-
tinually, whether the husband or hired help
sits in Judgment. Between the way ''mother
used to do and the methods of Mrs A, B, or
C, where cookie was formerly employed,
many an unhappy moment is spent by the
poor little beginner. But let her go on,
ignoring surs and criticisms, doing the best
she can and endeavoring to please in every
way, for young housekeepers must inevitably
grow old, and some day they will be able to
rule homes, cooks, and husbands with an all
powerful scepter tho emblem of experience
gained by years OF practical knowledge,

4 Plain Talk on
Kifgh6n InflU6nG8.

"Apropos OF the much-discussed servant
girl question" said an observing little woman
recently. "let me relate an incident that came
under my notice a short time ago. 1t was in
an intelligence office, and there was the usual
number Of girls seated about the room. A
well-dressed, refined-appearing lady came in
and was directed to one of the girls near me.
She began talking to the girl, asking what
wages she expected, and the usual questions
as to her experience and competence.
"After answering, the girl in turn began to
question-what was the size Of the family,
conveniences o. the house, the amount of
time that she could call her own, etc. The
lady looked annoyed, but answered her ques-
tions, and then said: You think that you
would be willingto work for me for SO week
if you can have ali these privileges enumer-
ating the girls requirements. Yes the girl
replied. 'Well,' answered the lady, there is
one thing 1 must tell you before you come
my piano is badly out of tune and don't
think can afford to have it tuned for you
and pay you that amount OF wages, and with
that she walked away"
You laugh. Well, it may be considered
smart, but was 1t ladylike or kind? What had
the girl done? She had simply done what an
employe in any other line of work would be
expected to do-found out the requirements
of the place before agreeing to go to 1t. LII
she could afford to wait and choose place
that pleased her, why should she not have the
privilege of choice as well as her employer?
Are We to regard her as having no rights and
no sensibiities simply because she is serv-
ant?
1t is this attitude that We, as American
housekeepers. have, perhaps, unconsciously
taken toward our domestics and not the work
itself which makes our American girls refuse
to do housework and prefer to do ''sewing at
forty cents u day." II is often claimed that
women are harder to work for than men. 1t
is not because of lack of experience in busi-
ness matters, but because Of lack OF thought
and sometimes lack of heart.
We expect girl to come thankfully to work
for us If we think 'she will do" the wages
being satisfactory. she need know nothing
about our requirements. but simply submit TO
them when learned II the place, when tried
for week or two. does not suit her she can
leave. Then we have the same wearisome
process to so through with again.
Why can we not learn to state our require
ments and answer all reasonable questions
before hiring girl? II the questions are i'm
pudent, and the manner OF asking them bold,
we should refuse to employ because OF the
character shown and not because they dared
to question.
Do you realize that in a few years these girls
will doubtless be the mistresses OF homes? That
these homes and the children in them will be
in a great measure what these girls make
them? Then let us take more personal and
unselflsh interest in our girls, keeping in our
mind the fact that our example and our in
fuence in the kitchen. as well as among our
friends will be lasting

RESTORING THE NEEDLE.

Princess Christian VIII Try to Make Sew.
ing an Art Again.
rFrom the Lady's PictoriaLI
Needlework does not commend itself as an
amusement to the young lady of to-day. She
outgrew 1t about the time the higher cduca-
ton of women came into vogue, and the girl
of the period would be rather ashamed than
otherwise of proficiency with her needle But
Princess Christian, who, like all the Queens
daughters, has been taught to do plain and
fancy sewing, and to do it well, has declared
her intention of reviving interest in this most
feminine pursuit, only that she has resoluteiy
determined that her sex shall devote rs much
attention to the work and as much regard it
as an art as they do other employment.
She very rightly regards it as a reproach to
this generation Of women that they are SO
lamentably ignorant of the first principles OF
needlework, but perhaps when they have
been taught to look upon it as an art. and tho
energetic Princess proposed school OF mp
piled design is started. it will be found that
the needle will be restored to place Of honor
among feminine belongings.

LOVE.

Unless you think when the song is done
No other is sweet in the rhythm;
Unless you can feel, when left by one,
That ell men else go with him:
Unless you can know when upraised by his
breath
That your beauty itself wants proving;
Unless you can swear "For life, for DEATH"
oh, fear to call it loving!
Unless you can muse in a crowd all day
On the absent face that fixed you;
Unless you can love as the angels may,
With the breath of heaven betwixt you;
Unless you can dream that his faith his fast,
Through behooving and unbehooving;
Unless you can die when the dream is past
Oh, never call it lovingi
