defstand that the name Victoria was
due her dignity and she answered to
no other.
In the. hall stood an old-fashioned
clock, and when it struck 8 in the
evening Miss Mary and Miss Ellen al
ways put out the light in the sitting
room and went to bed.
Sometimes they would fall asleep
over their knitting or reading and
would not hear the clock. When this
happened Victoria would walk to
where they sat and meow until they
Iawoke.
Her mistress thought she could
count as she never seemed to notice
the striking at any other hour of the
day or night.
But one day vietoria's dignity re-
ceived shock from which she never
fully recovered. She was in the pan
TRY and saw mouse on the shelf, and
while she was not used to catching
mice or jumping about the temptation
was too great.
She sprang to the shelf, but she
missed her footing and tumbled to the
floor. bringing pans with her, and

was hit by the falling pans.
Victoria, pans, and the milk were in
a heap on the floor when the cool
came in to see what had happened.

question to my mind, but it remains
true that in nine cases out of ten wom-

sive point of view. On the other hand,
the victim of all this rash Judgment,
even if she comes prepared to make
overtures and pave the way as best
she can by sweetness of temper and
graciousness of manner, finds herself
in most embarrassing position. If
she gives all her attention to her new
home, she is accused of being interior
ing, although, as the wife of the pro-
WIDER of the home, she is rightfully
entitled to managing the household as
she chooses. If she ignores her step
daughters, the unfriendly feeling
grows.

BEDTIME STORIES
FOR LITTLE
FOLKS
vlcToRlA.

Victoria was large gray cat, her
front paws were white, and there was
white spot just under her chin which
looked like white bow.
Her eyes were yellow, and Victoria
was as prim looking as the white
house with green blinds in which she
lived.
Victoria belonged to Miss Mary and
Miss Ellen, two maiden ladies, and she
understood her position in the neigh
borhood quite as we'll. She was as
dignified and proper in her manner as
her mistresses.
She did not associate with the other
cats, and as for speaking to chance
acquaintance, she would have as soon
gone out of the house without sticking
her fur.
Victoria had plate and saucer all
her own, and they were filled three
times day and placed on a square of
oilcloth in the corner of the kitchen.
Victoria never ate between meals,
and she never went into the dining
room when Miss Mary and Miss Ellen
were at the table.
She always ate all the food and
drank all the milk that was given her
and was never known to meow for
more.
That she was very wise, cat and
remembered better than some little
girls or boys you will learn by read
ing this story.
When it was muddy weather, Vic

the door was opened, until some one
wiped her feet with soft cloth. Ant
