Scant Praise.

The old saying that praise to the
face is open disgrace" is still firmly
believed by some people. a young
woman who was brought up by her
New England grandmother. notable
housekceper and example of thrift,
says that the adage was household
guide in her family.
One day her grandmother went OF
to pay Il visit, and the ambitious girl
of sixteen scrubbed and polished, swept
and busted until it seemed as if there
was nothing left to do. Her heart beat
high with the hope Of word of com
mendation as she sat in the kitchen
doorway waiting for her grandmother
return.
When the old lady arrived she looked
about her with keen eyes, but there
seemed no chance for criticism until,
STOPPING down under the kitchen table
which stood near the open door, she
saw that the south wind had waited a
bit of fluff from the hen yard.
With eyes that would twinkle in
spite of herself she pointed an accus-
ing finger at this evidence Of careless
ness and said soberly:
Janet, my dear, see there's
feather in the kitchen. It's high time
I came home."'
