Thus it was that Mary Ann, called
by herself Marianne" was installed
in Mrs. Lockhart's kitchen. That room
soon took on more of the appearance
of a library than of a kitchen. Pots
and kettle and such things disappeared
from the shelves, while books and mag
azines took their places. Mrs. Lock-
hart was not sure at first whether to
rejoice over the benefits of education
to the black race or to mourn over
the negroes deterioration as servants.
In a few days, however, when the floor
began to assume a notified appear
ance, and occasional lakes of grease
were to TIC found in the pans, while
Marianne" because of their hygienic
properties, offered frequent objections
to cooking certain articles of food of
which Mr.. Lockhart was particularly
fond, the mistress ideas began to take
form.
Then came the day on which Mari
anne" went to her mistress with the
pTOpOSlLlOH IndI SOIne one DS oSHI AOI
to clean the kitchen floor.
Mrs. Lockhart," she said. speaking
with the most careful diction, Il have
observed that the floor of the kitchen
is becoming more and more soiled. At
the varsity our floors were cleaned
every morning. / would suggest that
the floor of your kitchen be scrubbed
thoroughly at least three times
week
Il quite agree with you. Mary" re-
piled Mrs. Lockhart. Indeed, l have
been waiting to see how long it would
be before you would wake UP to the
condition of the kitchen. L think you
would better give it a good, hard
scrubbing this afternoon. And, while
we are on the subject, there is an
other thing l want to speak to you
about. You know your mother has
done the washing for our family for
several years Now, l think you might
take that work off her hands, and
will add to your pay just what I have
been giving her"
"Ma'am!' exclaimed Marianne"
standing aghast with her mouth open.
YES" said Mrs. Lockhart, thinking
the girl had expected to do the work
for nothing. and much pleased. Il will
add the money to your wages

ing and her fine speech disappearing.

tress, in surprise.

Mary Ann barely escaped being dis
charged on the spot. but her mistress
thought of old Martha. and, instead,
demonstrated with the girl.

realize what you are saying"
"Yas m, All does"
But think how your mother has
worked and sacrificed herself for you"
"Ah CANT help dat. All amt a gwine

said the girl sullenly.
"Ahll tell 20 whut An Is a gwine

heat. "Ahs a gwine tub take uh Civul

Then Mrs. Lockhart tried a mild
threat. IF 1 have to get some one
else to do your work shall have to
take it out of your pay" she declared.
The, girl did not like the thought of
losing any of her wages, but she chung
to the determination not to wash or
scrub. BY this time, however. she re-
membered some of the traditions of the
'universitum," and, recovering her
temper, regained some of her dignity
and grammar.
NV co'se," she said you can do as
you please about dat, Mis- Lockhart."
Then Mrs. Lockhart weakly gave in.
After that she was at the mercy of
Marianne and also at the mercy of
Mr.. Lockhart, who made frequent in
quiries about the welfare of 1.-The lady
in the rear library" That lady went
from bad to worse. Meals were late
and badly cooked Food burned while
Marianne" read magazines and nov
els. One evening when Mr.. Lockhart
came home from the office rather tired,
and in considerable of a hurry to have
his dinner ana keep business engage
ment afterward, there was no dinner
at all. Mrs. Lockhart went to the kitch-
en-, and in a few minutes returned with
the announcement that Mary Ann was
discharged, and there would be no din
ner that night. s-
Her husband did not have time to
wait for details then. He had to hurry
out to a restaurant for his dinner, but
on future inquiry he learned that when
Mrs. Lcckhart reached the kitchen she
found the range cold and no food even
prepared for cooking, while MARI
anne" sat at table Uttered with pens,
ink and many scratched and blotted
sheets Of paper.

"Dey ain gwine tub be no dinnuh

to think of grammar, "les'n yo' gifts it

hart.

while her pen hung trembling over the
paper

without turning her head. "Ah amt got

THE FRENCH MODE.

The dainty summer frocks are con-
trived along lines that are stri6ingly
familiar and strikingly allied to shirt
waists and shirt waist forms. While
talking of summer dresses, though, it
is quite we'll to remember that there
is to be period of costuming not built
upon separate waists and skirts. The
tendency of the high style is toward
the costume rather than the separate
waist for general wear and special oc-
casions. New models from Paris con-
stantly arrive, showing the growth
of the lingerie idea. Every side of the
washable lingerie, or, as the English
call it, tub" idea, is to receive full
prominence in summer styles of the
future.
1t is unquestionably the daring of
the barred arm, the transparent
guimpe, revealing just enough billowy
beribboned underwear that adapts it.
self most easily to feminine idea and
mischievous disposition. The French
make a great study of this kind of
thing. There is reason of every kind
in the Introduction of a winsome pro-
gramme of lingerie attire. From shirt
waist to entire costume it is the lacy,
embroidered, dainty sachet and ribbon
atmosphere that will win in the COM
ing periods. There may be steel be-
meath the velvety exterior, both in
muscles and in corset stays, but the
external view must not disclose it. The
whole tone must be one of softness,
svelte. elastic, willowy, and never fat
if it can be helped.

THE WAYS OF ROSE IN SPRING.

When Rose apprised me that she would
Go in for gardening this year,
l pictured grace and lustihood
In Gainsborough and muslin sheer
Selecting me boutonniere
From bed or bush or trellis wares.
Or, gloVed in yellow mousquetaires
To shield her from their thorny
stalks,
Cutting us roses as in pairs
We idled down box boardered walks.
And so my establishment
Was sorry and complete enough
When discovered she is bent
on raising such plebeian stuff
AS greens and turnips. Jove. It's
tough,
These misty dawns that never break,
To see her moiling with a rake
(And all to not a souls behoofD
In overshoes and wide-awake,
Or spading in a waterproof!
But hers is just Springtide within
1 fear, if half the truth were told,
And when the tender shoots and slim
Come struggling through the steam
ing mould,
Belize they'll find her ardor cold
Last year a seed summed by her eyes
Took root and blossomed--orchid-
wise
And in a lonely heart tonight
The flower languishes and dies
For want of just a little light.

A MAY-pOLE DANCE.

Although it did not quite rain yes
terday afternoon, the sky was so
threatening that it was decided not to
give the Maypole Dance. After Thurs
days disappointing shower it would
have been too unfortunate to risk the
affair on a day when there must of
necessity have been some doubt in
motherly hearts as to whether the
children would be expected, and a fear
Of the dangers lurking on grassy lawns
after such a downpour. Nor will the
dance be given this afternoon. Next
week, when one may hope for settled
fair weather, a convenient day will be
selected, and the little people will be
Notified through the Morning News in
plenty of time to make their plans for
the interesting event.

Mr.. Frank H. Madden of the Arm OF
Reid, Murdoch & Co, of Chicago, and
also representing the wholesale gro
GERS and commercial exchange of Chi
cago, gave some extremely interesting
information Saturday to the House
Committee on Commerce on the subject
of pure food legislation. AS preliminary
to his advocacy of the Corliss bill. he
said that for the last fifteen years he
had been in charge Of the manufacture
ing department of his firm, and dur
ing that time he had never known OF
an authentic case of poisoning from

THE EDUCATED NEGRO GIRL.
Course at University Didn't Inn

prove Her Cook.
From the New York Tribune.
A Washington woman who has been
a warm advocate of negro education
had an experience recently that cooled
her ardor for the cause considerably.
Mrs. Lockhart has heretofore had only
praise for the colored universities and
has wished that ever negro could go
to one. She has given her own money
to help them and has induced many of
her friends to give theirs also. Now
she breaches selection. She says that
all colored children should be sent to
the primary schools, but that a care
full choice should be made of those
who are to receive a higher education,
that none should be sent to the negro
colleges except after the most mature
elaboration.
The change in her views came about
in this way: short time ago she
found herself in need of another maid.
She sent to Culpepper, Va, for one,
but the girl proved so slovenly that
she had to be sent back. Then Mrs.
Lockhart applied to her old colored
washwoman, Martha, for help.
Huh, yo dun SEN Georgia away,
has yuh?" said Martha.
Yes. she was such slattern that
1 couldn't keep her"

S0CIETY'S QUIET DAYS.

r-an the Bowling Alleys Deserted
by Their Fair DevOtees.
When May adds to it's hot weather
u,,cb a history of rainy days, it is very
encouraging to social effort. for at this
.aason. whatever might be done by way
If entertainment must be largely out
e doors-and how can one give parties
al fresco with such a lowering sky?
@ there is little for diversion.
II is a sad commentary upon the con-
.+.ncv Of woman that her once ardent
dsvotion to the sport of bowling should
,ass into nothingness with the first
-,biff of summer. A few weeks ago she
,ras I'D with the lark, her dainty toilet
made with a view to muscular freedom,
and soon to be seen, after frugal
breakfast, hurrying down Bull street
with some athletic chum, ambitious for
an hour or two of hard practice at the
alleys. before the noontinle influx of
visitors-onlookers and devotees. Shut
in behind a certain unrevealing little
brown door, hardly to be noticed of
ignorant passers-by but speaking VOL
umes to the initiated, each day the
story repeated itself. Each day she
stood on the polished alley, barearmed,
hatless, a bit disordered as to coiffure,
ardor in her eye. To see her then,
vigorous and graceful, and quivering
with enthusiasm as she reckoned up
her strikes and spares, who would have
been cynic enough to foretell the tickle
ness of woman's fancy?
Her old haunts know her no more.
The bowling alleys are deserted. Such
hot weather she says, by way of, ex-
cuse Surely woman's fancy may go
by seasons as we'll as the rest of the
world, and the warm days of summer
bring back a very dear and oldfash-
toned girl in trailing laces, who, from
the hight of her lazy hammock, looks
rather askance at the short-skirted en-
ergetic mind of winter-time. Summer
athletics, indeed, she has, and pursues
them with a certain vivacity that is
just a trifle more feminine than her
winter seriousness, but this is when
she has fled from the hot town to the
cool mountains or breezy wAter-side.
Just now she seems content to stay
quietly at home and rest on her winter
laurels.

BRUSHING THE TEETH.
directions to Prevent Receding of
the Gums.
From Youths Companion

the Gums.
From Youths Companion.
It seems a very simple matter to
clean the teeth, and one may think 1t
hardly worth while to read any direc-
tions for such an ordinary procedure
But there is a right way and wrong
way of doing everything, and it is safe
to say that more persons go about
cleaning the teeth in the wrong way
than in the right. Not only is the way
in which this is usually done ineffect-
ual. but 1t may even be injurious both
to the teeth and to the gums
The gums play a most important
part in keeping the teeth firmly in
place, and every care should be taken
to prevent them from receding. One
of the most common causes of this re-
cession is the injury caused by the
improper use OF the tooth brush, yet
this injury can be wholly prevented by
a little care.
In the first place, the brush should
not be too hard and the bristles should
not be too close together The surface
of the brush should be serrated, or I'M
even, with longer and shorter bristles,
so that the projecting ridges may pen
citrate between the teeth. 1t is better
to have the brush slightly concave, to
fit the arch of the teeth, but in that
case one must have a second one for
brushing the backs of the teeth.
The teeth should never be scrubbed
by moving the brush from side to side
across them, as most persons do. for
it is that that pushes the gums back
and tears them. This motion, especially
when the brush is a stiff one and
gritty powder is used. may also injure
the enamel of the teeth. The teeth
should be cleaned by rolling the brush
in a direction from the gums toward
the cutting edge, so that the bristles
will not only scrape the surface, but
sweep between them. This motion will
also coax the edge of the gum over
the neck of the teeth instead of push
ing it away, and as the movements in
this direction can be neither so rapid
nor so forcible as when they are from
side to side, the gums are less liable
to be lacerated by the bristles. The
backs Of the teeth are to be brushed
in the same way. while the grinding
surfaces must be cleaned by a to-and-
fro as we'll as a lateral rubbing. Luke
warm water is best for the teeth, and
some good dentifrice should be used
once q day.
