The lady of the house." who had
been wrestling with the servant prob
lem for several years, recently took
new departure with the hope Of solv-
ing the riddle. She imported young
colored girl from one of the lower
counties OF Virginia, with the determi-
nation to do or die in the attempt
to model her into an accomplished
cook at least. The usual bitches and
disappontments occurred and the task
proved most trying one. The house
Keeper persevered, however, until the
:lipax materialized few days ago.
Entering the kitchen one afternoon
the lady Of the house inquired
"Millie, have you cooked the maca-
roni!"
What's macaroni9" the Importation
from the country wanted to know.

planned, indicating the raw material.

girl then asked.
Eat it. Of course" was the reply.
