your griiidraotliers peculiar doctrine on the subject p in quired harry 1 presume she had more than one said- tom but this she particularly impressed upon my mind always look at a womans diditowel she would remark with much solemnity no matter how well she pays the piano or sings or how many different kinds of languages sua can speaknever marry her uuleas you see that she uses soft dry towels aud plenty of thtiii wheajshe wifies her dishes i be sure that a cirl who uses soiled or wet dinh towels does not knowendugb to be the wife of an honest man harry laughed at ihh definition of houseiwifely knowledge but presently said in a serious lone there ia considerable truth in the old ladys ideas after all but i dont understand how in these dajs you can apply jtbe tests most young ladies that we know have perhaps never seen a dish towel now i think of it i promised to introduce- you to my cousins there are three of them all bright pretty girls though i think it doubtful whether they would fulfil your grandmothera requirements as a i wife still you may find themileasant ac quaintances aud it you like i will go there with you now areexl responded tom and the two frieurla soon fouud themselves in he parlor of airs beushaw harrys aunt j thayonng ladies were all at home and ai harry had said were bright pretty girls ida the eldest was a tail queenly brunette whose magnicent dark eyes and ahundant raven tresses seemed to compel universal admiration though she had a powerful riyal in adele the second daughter- whose delicate blonde beauty showed to fresh advantage beside her mors brilliant sister j the two were acknowledged belles in the circle and few who knew them era paused to give a seoind glance jat tbeir youuger sifter little violet as shy and shrinking as ber floial namesake she avoided the gay assemblages in which her aisicrs loved to shine and passed her hours pleasaqt ly and peaceiully with her books her music and her flowers slio wasiot prfseas when harry and his friend entered but when her cousin with whom sue seemed a great favorite ask ed expressly for her miss adele care lessly desired the servant to call her tom who was conversing withilda did not notice her entrance till aroused by harrys voice saying mr meredith let meintroduceyou to ray ooasin miss violet renshaw j and tnrniog quickly he was surpris ed at the sight of the tiny creature so unlito lier elder sisters there was nothing magnificent and little that could de strictly teruind beautiful ia the almost childish figure but some thing indescribably winning in the clear gray eyes and in the rich ches nut curls about the broad low forehead turn had little time for obativation however as ida anaadel claimed all hia attention while harry inouopoliied violet in a frank bmtheily way quite j uulike his more formal aud unceremoni ous manner with the elder sisters well what do you tbiuk of my three consiusf was hscrys natural question when ha and tom were once more on thn street i dm only express my admiration by saying that i winb it wore possible todivide myself into three separate individuals tlrutl might offer each of the fair enslauvers niy hanlaud heart replied tom with much solemuity what without ever wailing to discover whether their dish towels are improper otder t retorted his friend tom laughed i have a presentiment that i shall forget my revered grandmothers- i rice till it ialoo late when the iniportaol event ofmeeiinguiy fate shall arrive and then remeuilier it the rest of your life i suppose observed hurry on the principle of marryinij iu hasie and repenting at leisure wellthope my fair cousins will not be ike canse of such a catastrophe but i must leave you here as i have a patient in this home j aod he rannp the steps left to himself torn sauntered slow ly along thinking of the oung ladies whoniho had just seen it mutt be confessed that little violet occupied buta very siiislljiortion of his thoughts which were filled with ida and adele but 1 doubt if either of them ever tiir a dish towel was le concluding reflection as he reached his boarding house weeks passed on tom was devoted in his ullentions to the misses ben- shaw ranior had assigued hiji first to ida then to adele and waited with impatienca for the time when the en- gagemant should be publicly announc ed meanwhile every day bronght him good and excuse for him ta call at mrs riishas pleasant house a new poem the latest song an invita tion for adrive or a plan forsoma ex cursion of violet heaawlewlhan he did of the other rhrtetv though thev were very friendly and he treated her with the same orolhcrly frankness as harry one lovely june morning he pre seuted himself at mrs reuahaws at quiuvan early hour intending to iuvita the three siaters to pass the lieautiful summer day in a long couutry drive he noticed that there was some delay in answering his ring which was not usually the case with mis rcnalsawa i well trained servants bnt at leng h he beard a light footstep in the htli and iu another moment the dior was opened by violet she had a broom in her iand aud a dusting cap covered her bright curls but she bade him good morning with as much coidiality as usual and invited htm to enter mi- ding please alkml thidimttg room for i am sweepiug the mrlor secretly wnudering tom obeyed as he turned the handle of the dining room door there was a sudden rush a hasty bang of a door and a hurried exclamation of 0 violet how could you t and he found himself in the presence of the fair adele though for a moment he scarcely recognized ber in the sloyenly dressed girl with disshev- eled hair who stood by the breakfast table dabbling the cups undsaucers iu some greasy water end wiping them ou a towel which to say the least was very far from being spotlessly clean sue colored and with some confusion said ah good morning mr meredith so you have come to fiud us til at work tbisniorniug it happens that we have fornur three servants a brother and two sisters they received this morn- iug the news of thir mothers danger oda illness and mamma at once gave them all permission to go home we supposed we could get a woman who sometimes does extra work for us but she whs engaged for the day so we are obliged to to do the best we era our selves i assure you she continued with a little laugh which tom before bad often thought pretty and engaging butwhich now souuded false and af fected thut i aip by no means accus tomed to such work nor have i any desire to become so cannot you allow me to assist yon f asked toiu politely was- brought up on a firm and have often washed dishes and made myself generally useful about the kitchen you y exclaimed adele in such an astonished tone that tom could not forbear laughing i yes certainly why not t he in quired oh ijdont know only i thought you never did anything stammered adele then endeavoring to feel at easu she said yes if you will help please take this heavy kettle into the kitchen and set it on the btove tom seized the kettle and throwing open the door leading to lie kitchen and was crossing the loom towards the stove when bisprogregs as arrested by the sudden appearance of ida from a store room boynnd if ajdele looked slovenly and disheveled what- shall bi 811d of ida 7 an old dress dirty acd torn slippers run dowii at the heel aii burst out at the sides no collar oi ruffle very lilk hair instead of th magnificent tresses he had so often admired aud iihat there was haogint uocouibed about her face no woude tom stared in blank astonishment a heavy frown took the place of lh usul smile iih she curtly bid him coo morning to n muttered an apology for bia intrusion as lie deposited hi burden on the stove and turned to ri trace his steps just as violet entered ihe diuing room cjlie did notsee himi but addresiing ida said run asy now ihu dear snd dres irtifore the callers come for you 1 iiav already sent adele up stain nnd wil finish the

which crosed violets face as she quickly laid item aside opsuing a drawer she tok frbui it a plentiful supply 6oft dry and clean ida olid adcla hud ooth disajipeared and tom yentnred to renewhis offer of assistance to violet who started little aa she for tha first time noticej his ptesence but she recovered her cuoiposurtfac once and quietly answer ed as jia deftly filled the dishpan with hot suds f no thank you mr meredith i shall do very well without assistance my sisters have not left much for me to do you had belter walk into the pirlor and theyiwill soon join you ni indeed said tom i will take myself out of the way with apologies for ray autiiqely intrusion unless you will really let me be of some service and believe rue lie added earnestly with an admiring glance at thej neat little figure tripping so lightly alioul the kitchen and mentally coolrasted her with her two sisters you will make me very happy by allowing me to help you o very well said viols smiling and blushing a little as she met his gate if yon are really so much in need ufeuipioyuientrt will try to pro vide yon with some suppose yon set these duties on the lower shelf of the closet us i wash theai then i can arrange them after they are all done tom obeyed and was rewarded by being allowed to carry a hod of coal froui the celltydo various other little erands during which time be was noticing the

he declinedttie invitation to dinner given by mm rsnshaw when she came and found him assisting violet and made his- way directly to harrys office t have made my choice at last hurry i hs announced it
