 By4 o'clock three workers were hard at work at it, Peggy too, with her sleeves rolled up and me with my skirts tucked up, working for dear life. ]
 Peggy, which would you rather do, clean house or die?' I asked presently.
 Die" said Peggy-and worked on.
 The next day we were on the job at s o'clock.
 Towards the close of the afternoon Peggy came to me in great distress.
 The professional carpet butter down has tackled all Nancy's Turkish rugs to the floor" said she.
 Wait till you see what the profess sional washer has done to the white wood work" I informed. Great spots as big as harvest moon arc left all over it, and it's a rcrfect sight, If I had a house as big as this, and had all this trouble every year, I'd sell it aud live in a tent' sighed Peggy. Presently we wandered about from ] room to room 10 see what other traces of ruin and destruction we might find. and as we entered tho library Peggy took d slide half way across the floor It was so highly polished that you couldn't stand up on it to save your life.

 The woman who had been employed to put the curtains up had hung them all on the wrong side; the professional bath tub whitener had left a quart of oil in that useful article, the fumes of which were penetrating the entire house, and so. of course, everything had to be gone over again and it took us exactly one week 10 get things in shape like we wanted them
 Finally however, the very last pie ture was hung, and each worker passed us in general array, and they were paid off at union rates. and sent home with our blessing.

 But we had reckoned without our host.
 When the, lady arrived her first ob- servation was:
 You've put the wrong rugs in the library. And who on earth did my beautiful hardwood floors so dreadfully? Robert said everything was in perfect order. and when I asked you to look in upon my house I thought it would require probably half an hour or should never have asked you"

 And pray look at these curtains they are the limit" said Nancy.
 I'm sorry said Peggy. making ready to go.
 "of course, I'm not finding fault" said the other.
 We understand that perfectly, but at the same time. Dolly" said Peggy, turn ing to me If you ever happen to hear of me undertaking to put anybody elses house in order l hope you'll not hesitate to hit me in the head, then anu there.

 A statistical baggagemaster has com puted that TOO trunks have landed in New York from Europe since June l, a point which explains why the costumes have been handsome and more smart than ever before this season. At the tennis tournament and horse show last week all of the fashionable matrons in attend- ance made 1t point to honor the oc- easlon by wearing their very loveliest gowns, and thus some of the very new French models made their debut Judg iEg from appearances the deep purple" has found Newport, for one reads purple in all descriptions of gowns. One of Mrs. Henry A. Taylor's gowns for the horse show was a royal purple crepe, and as she. like many other Newport matrons, evidently believes in the one color cos gown. On this same occasion Mrs. Arthur Curtiss James, another matron whose costumes are much quoted, wore splen- did all purple costume The purple and red shades, relics of the coronation, seen in the Birmingham shop windows, are very alluring because of their newness and richness, and though they are an aftermath of the coronation they have some suggestion, too, of the vivid shades oe autumn Those who love strong, deep coiors should revel in the vivid beauty that the shops afford.
