The other night I came across a senâ€" tence in a book which read: "No man can be a hero to his valet," and I couldn‘t help thinking that this was almost as true about a woman und her washerwoman. Of course every day is Monday to a woman who washes for her living, and the person who called Mogday blue certainly knew what he was talkâ€" i about.

It would be very interesting, I think, "if one of those fellows you read about who works in figures would take time to work this out. When I get to Mrs. X.‘s, as soon as I take off my things and get into my apron, I sit down at the table, where there is a cup of hot coffee, two or three slices of nice buttered toast and a dish of stewed fruit, I go to the; laundry, and there are the elothes in | the tubs, where they hav been put to. soak the evening before; the t.able-| cloths, napkins, etc., in one tub, the underclothes, towels, etc., in the other, and the colored clothes in the basket on the floor.
