AT THE SIEGE OF PEKIN.
Here Are Some Things That the
Women Did.

The servant question entered into the
woes. of the Americans and Europeans
during the siege of Pekin, of which Lady
Macdonald. wife of Sir Claude Macdonald,
has written an interesting account. While
all the world outside of China was wiring
ing it's hands in horror at the supposed
fate of the Ministers and their families.
and the besieged men and women were
flying to the British compound for safety,
Lady Macdonalds cook gave notice.
Before his resignation could be accepted
or declined he decamped. The hospitabie
British Legation secured a substitute. but
he was a very poor cook and objected to
hear the bullets rafting.
Occasionally says Lady Macdonald,
Il read the riot act and threatened to
hand him over to the Boxers if he did
not reform and for few days he would
do better: but it did not last.

the first thing TO do is to put up the bed
steads and make the beds. This will re-
lieve some of the pandemonium as well as
prepare for regular living. Have the
kitchen things all go in the first load, and
send the cook, with helper, to settle her
quarters. The first meals will probably
have to be taken in kitchen ware unless
the family takes its meals OUT for a
time The dining and living rooms are the
first to be settled, because upon their con-
dition depends much of the atmosphere of
peace and cheer in the house. Then will
follow the sleeping rooms, the parlor and
