An Easy One.

"About the hardest problem |
have had to solve in my brief house
keeping career said the woman, sis
what to do with the pastor when he
calls on a servant girl. We have a
good girl. She is regular attend
ant at a chapel in the neighborhood.
Every so often the pastor or his as
sstant in his rounds of the parish
calls on her.
II am a heather myself in the
matter of religious observances,
nevertheless l know what is due to
gentlemen of the cloth. The best
room about the house should be at
the disposal of ones spiritual advis-
er always. Should Lucy, then, re-
ceive her guest in the parlor, or
should they compromise in the din
ing room? The kitchen as a place for
entertaining the minister is quite
!out of the question.
$50 far, the ministers calling at
my house have been spared even the
indignity of dining room recep-
ton. I have taken to the back re-
gions myself while Lucy held forth
in the parlor. I know other women
with church-going maids who are
equally considerate. Altogether this
is delicate point on which we need
some enlightenment from the ETH
quette experts.-Woman Author.
This is very easy question to
solve. Any room thatis good enough
for a good servant girl is good
enough for a preacher or anybody
else, and any room that is not too
good for the preacher is not too good
for good servant girl. When wom-
en- understand and practice this
principle the servant girl question
will be solved and not before

and the radiant light of her spot

Persons falling out of aeroplanes
will find II quite useless to depend
upon any of the ordinary safety de-
vices, antidotes. block systems. fire
extingulshers. life preservers or other
similar contrivances. for though all
of them are perfectly good in their
proper time and place. they do not
meet this particular emergency. The
only thing to do when convinced you
are falling is 10 make a thorough ex-
animation of the underlying land
scape. For this purpose il is often
well to have handy a geological chart.
or relief map. When you have thor
oughly familiarized yourself with the
topography Of the approaching land
