Mrs. ]. may have had some excuse for
the selfsAness which prompted her
to advise her cook not to get mar
ried. The woman had been in her
employ for ten years, was thoroughly
acquainted with what housekeepers
call "the ways Of the house." and
well, as Mrs. J. observed-"you could
have knocked me down with a feather
wnen I learned that l might lose her"
Therefore:
"Well, Bridget" she said, you know
that marriage is a serious matter.
There are times when it is hotter to
delay until you know more Of the

A Maharaiah "operator."

The M%aharajah of Gwalior is a very
splendid Indian lord, but he is a good
magic lantern operator, according to
Raymond Blathwayt, the English in
terviewer. Mr.. Blathwayt writes in M.
A. P:
81 was staying with the Resident at
Gwalior, Sir Donald Robertson, and,
having a box Of slides with me, the
Resident suggested / should give a lee
ture at the palace, where we were to
dine that night.
"And accordingly I did so, and the
Maharajah worked the lantern with
all the ease and skill imaginable. 1t
was a wonderfully romantic scene.
The great white palace, with its nina
rets outlined against the purple In
dian night, and a brilliant full moon
casting it's rays upon the wide spread
ing grounds, while. the palm leaves
ratified in the gentle breeze, and the
diamond drops from a fountain in the
courtyard gave a delicious GOODNESS
to the heated air. Around me sat the
great mobiles of Gwalior, brilliant in
Jewels and crimson and gold and in
elaring contrast to the British Off.
