KITCHEN Is AS ROYAL AS A PAft-
LOR.
AS Barbara walked away from the
Wards that afternoon, She fully
thought that her social experiment
was finally over. and that she might
as well write ''Finis'' to the dismal
attempt she had made to solve even
a small part of such complex prob
lem. But before she had covered the
short distance between the Wards
and her mothers, she experienced a
feeling of remorse that she had given
way so miserably to her passion in
the interview between Mrs. Ward and
herself. She even hesitated at the
corner before she started down the
street leading home as if she had
some serious intention of going back
to ask Mrs. Ward to receive her
again. But it was only a moments
pause, and then she went on and en-
tered the house, where she soon told
her mother the whole story. There
were tears on Barbara's cheeks when
she finished.
'sI seem to be total failure in every
way, mother. I haven't even learned
grace to control my tongue"
Neither has Mrs. Ward, from what
you say replied her mother, with
more spirit than was usual for her. 1T
seems to me she is the one who is most
to blame. In fact. Barbara. I don't see

how you could have done differently
She compelled you to leave"
20, don't know about that, mother.
IF I had not got angry-but it's all
over now, anyway. There is no use for
me to try any MORE" and Barbara
broke down completely, crying hard.
Her mother wisely let her have her
cry ut,~and then said: 81 can't help
feeling glad it has all turned out as it
has. You know I have never approved
of your going out TO service. You sim
ply throw yourself away"
81 don't know" Barbara replied, sad
ly. Somehow I cannot help feeling,
mother, that 1 have failed to do what
I ought to do and that the regret over
it will stay with me all my life. I be-
gan with high purpose to accomplish
something, and I have failed utterly
''You have at least tried your best
mo, mother, I don't think I have.
I ought to have expected just such
things as those that happened to-day.
But it's too late to do anything now,'
she added, with a sigh. "The question
is: What am to do? 1 expect it
means going into Bondman's until 1
can get school"
Her mother tried to comfort her, but
Barbara was more depressed over the
situation than she had ever been in all
her life. She had met her dragon, and
had been completely routed. And she
had even at one time thought con-
temptuously of the dragon! But, as
she went to her room that night, she
felt with great humiliation that the
dragon had won and she would never
again have the courage to look him in
the face.
The next day she sent over for her
trunk; and, when the expressman
brought it, he handed her note that
had been given him by Mrs. Ward.
Barbara opened it in some excite
ment, thinking it might be a request
to come back. But it was a scrawl from
Carl, who had at different times been
encouraged by Barbara to print real
letters to his father and brothers.
Dear Barbara: I am very sorry you
have gone. Won't you come back? I do
not feel very well to-day. My head aches.
If you will come back I will be good to
you. Your loving

Mrs. Ward had let Carl send, she sat

seemed all so dismal mistake, such a
waste of her life so far. She did not
look forward to the future with any
degree of hopefulness. It seemed as if
all her high ambitions were destroyed
and all of her ideals swept out of her
life.
The next two days she spent in help
ing her mother with some sewing and
in little duties about the house. In
every moment of leisure from these
duties her thought at once went back
to her ambition to serve, and the more
she dwelt upon it the more hopeless
she grew.
In the morning of the third day after
she had left Mrs. Ward, and she was a t
worn washing the breakfast dishes,
when a note was brought to her. The

the night before last. He has been
steadily growing worse. Will you go
right up and see him now?"
Mrs. Ward led the way, and Barbara
followed, feeling strangely depressed
as if in anticipation of some great
trouble. She sat down by Carl and the
child knew her.

she had often given him, "are you glad

Remembrance and ResembIance.

Remembrance and Resemblance.
Living near monarch does not nee
essarily make a man courtier, as we
may see by a story of King Edward
VII. Every Christmas for a number
of years his majesty has given TO an
old tenant on his Sandringham' estate
a pair of boots. The old mans feet are
just the size of those of the king, who
always tries on the boots before pre-
senting them. This adds, of course, to
the old mans pride in his gift. On
one occasion, some months after the
regular gift had been made, the prince
of Wales, as he then was, met the ten
ant, and noticing that his boots
showed palpable signs of wear and
neglect, advised him to polish them.
''Ah," returned the old man, "I never
look at those boots, dirty and worn as
they are, without being reminded of
your royal highness!" In relating this
incident at home-for prince tells his
family funny things as readily as the
plainest citizen-his royal highness
said: ga well-meant compliment,
dare say, but very doubtful one!''-
