Improve the lot of our poorer little

The other day she paid a visit to the
Stoke Workhouse Homes to cheer the
little invalids. She took a particular

her various questions. The child, ac-
customed to seeing no other ladies than
nurses, kept addressing her as nurse:
you mustn't say nurse dear, said
one of the sisters. You should say,
Your Grace"
The little invalid Immediately folded
her hands and repeated the short
prayer with which she always prefaced
her meals.
The duchess could not help laughing,
but bent over and kissed the earnest
little lips.-London Answers.
