MEANT TO CALL THEM QUICK
Aunt Dinah Had No Idea of Allowing
for misunderstanding When
She Rang the Bell.

Aunt Dinah, plantation born and
reared, went to a nearby town to "hire
out" She was very promptly hired
by a young housewife, who, seeing her
lack Of familiarity with modern house
holds, started to train her.
She showed Aunt Dinah her small
silver-service bell-there We're no cleo
trio bells in the old-fashioned house
and told her that when it was rung
she must come into the dining room.
AUNT Dinah said she understood. A
few days later the mistress was seated
on the broad veranda with a friend
when she heard a tremendous clangor
from the direction of the kitchen. 1t
came nearer swiftly and soon identi-
fed itself as the sound Of a large bell.
Puzzled, the housewife entered the
hall and there stood Aunt Dinah,
swinging a large dinner bell vigorous
ly. "Why, what on earth is the mat
ter, Aunt Dinah?" she gasped. "Why
are you ringing that bell?"
well, Miss Mary, I thought dat was
the way folks called each other in dis
here house. Didn't you show me yo'
bell the other day? I found dis one
in de cupboard and I wanted you right
quick in de kitchen, so 1 rung hit"
