She was attired in a 10058 morning wrap- per 'of quilted pale blue satin, With a quantity of soft lace round her throat, and looked exceedingly handsome. “Steph. I think I have told you .be- fore," said Mr. Grafton in a grumbling tone, "that I don’t care to have any of your old circus acquaintances callâ€" ing upon you here. I thought you had broken of fthe connection for good when you became my wife.“ "Que voulez-vous, Cher enfant 9“ ans.- wered Staph without the least trace of temper. “You introduce me to no society; you scarcely mer take me anyâ€" u'liere; four or five times a. week you . don’t get home till past iiiiilnightâ€"this l morning it uns three o'clock when you [crept upâ€"stairs as quietly as a burglar.

Inmost homes the Sunday dinner is looked forward to define principal meal of the week, and consequently the house- wife is kept busy all Sunday morning preparing a number of extra or fancy dishes. She must necessarily give up church, and when the meal is over and the dishes washed she feels as if aday's work had been done. It may not; be just the most satisfactory thing to sit down to very simple Sunday dinner, btui; one will soon become accustomed to i . . In a. home where lliere is help or when there are one or more daughters whoure old enough to belp,cacli one can take turns in making the Sunday dinncr. ln l'hls buy the mother may huvo her much needed rest and :1. nice dinner can be prepared. Ono mother who has two daughters has found this an admirable plan, and she only pre- pares the dinner every third Sunday. The girls acquire a. confidence in them- selves and learn considerably. Their mother enjoys these days of rest, and. she does not worry or help about the work, either. “Let them lcnrn how," she says, "they cannot always have me with them." And the girls say they en- joy it, too, for they do and cook just what they please. But L111: mother With a family of little (Jules,\\'1llo never gets a chance for rest on week days needs her Sunday,and if shcyvants to attend church she cannot; prepare a great dinner. There are any number of things which maybe pre- pared on Saturday. Usually the baking is done then and there is fresh bread with biwuits and cakes. A pot of beans isprepared on Saturday afternoon and warmed for Sunday breakfast.
