hall filled with smoke, and saw the blaz-

efforts to get out of the burning bed, had
become entangled. She rushed to the
bed and dragged the baby girl out The
child's night gown was afre. So was her
hair. The nurse did her best to smother
the flames that were spreading abou the
child with her apron. Despite her eff
forts little Priscilla was burned, but not
riously, about her forehead. The nurse
supposed that the older child Helen had
run down the stairway, Notwithstanding
she heard her say:-
"Save my dollyv'

little Priscilla she handed her to neigh

Monday, "blue Monday" as it has
long been called, is one Of the most
trying days of the week for women
who are housewives, principally be-
cause it is wash day" Breakfast is
usually served earlier than on other
days and more hastily prepared. The
children are early hurried of to school
and dinner is often picked up blue
Monday is the one day In the week
when h01sewife's trouties, hard
