an expression which will find an echo in the hearts of the majority of housekeepers.A few days after the conversation quoted above, wc drove with some friends through the beautiful Newtons (Newton, Newton Centre, Newton Village, Newton Corner, Newton Upper Falls, Newton Lower Falls, West Newton, and how many more we know not, but these arc enough to confuse most of us) which are so noted for their lovely homes.As we were admiring in one of the handsomest avenues the large and comfortable mansions, the lawns and the gardens, our friend remarked \u2022* You would be surprised to know how much trouble there is in moat of these lovely homes to get, or to keep, good servants.In half of them there is not a servant to-day but the gardener or the coachman.\u2019 \u201c Yes,\u201d wc replied, \u201c and our American girls will blindly choose to live in attics, on the poorest fare, work in unhealthful places all day, wash thoir clothing at night, and get small wages, rather than live well in such homes, where they could make and couhl save considerable money !\u201d It was a woman, who succeeded to her husband's business as manager of that great establishment the \u201c Bon Marche\" in Furls, who first set the example to the mercantile World of providing an excellent and substan tial noon day meal for hundreds of employees, of giving them living wages and when they had served faithfully a certain length of time, an interest in the business.She also built hospitals for those who were temporarily or permanently disabled,* where they were cared for free of expense, \\N hen that notable example shall be followed in our great cities, these righteous complaints will cease and purer lives will be lived, and happier homes formed.Until then we shall rejoice if armies of our young women will follow \u2022\u2022 Mollies\" example and desert the shopi and the factories ana make themselves Happier and healthier in the plea«ant homes of our land.Then in that Utopian era for which we long, when merchants shall treat ami pay their employees justly for work in healthful places, thus saving many from immorality, wc shall hope that by means of our city industrial schools and kindergartens a more capable, reliable class of servants will be developed, and fewer of them will he discharged to rest the souls of their mistresses.\u2014(7 A»-tuijo Starulanl._____ A YEAR OF BLESSINGS, AND A BLK.SH1D YEAH.f Com;\u2019tied by Rott Porltr.)

his short life had been a round of unconscious ones one hallelujah of play days without any subtraction or division; but a real holiday, coming after some kind of work, he knew not of.So when his schoolteacher said that Thursday of that week would lie Thanksgiving day,and that it would be a holiday for the school, Fink, who is al ways enthusiastic, with difficulty smothered a whoop and contented himself with tapping his boots together approvingly, anti a great many times under his desk, which any small boy will know was by far the better anti wiser thing to do.In a small town one is apt to know the people who live across the way or next door.Fink not only lives near by but is one of my friends, and perhaps you vvill like to have me tell you something about him anti how he spent Thanksgiving day.lie is a small, thin, wide awake boy\u2014a real will o' the wisp with hig eyes, lots of freckles, and very red hair, hut this does not matter in the least, as he is us bright as can he, and perhaps that is why his hair is red, his brightness extends even to that.Yet, even my happy go-lucky neighbor is a trille sensitive on this subject and once insisted that his hair was pink and that is how he came by his nickname.It is the small boy living across the way who first called him \u201c Fink !\u201d so he is a rival to be subdued and one of Fink s methods of subduing him is to lie un earlier in the morning on any festive occasion than \u201c Jim\u201d is.On Dominion day this plan had been nipped in the bud as his mother overheard it, and, of course, did not approve; but no one had said anything about his not getting up as, early as he liked ou Thanksgiving day, so.keeping his thoughts to himself, he weut to bed early the night before and put his clothes under his pillow.It gave the proceeding such an air of adventure that he could hardly wait for morning.Although Fink is a kind-hearted little hi(l and means, also, to be one of the best little hoys in the world, he has one or two big faultr ; the biggest and worst one is that he sometimes forgets to ask his mother\u2019s tie mission.At six o'clock next morning 'ink w as wide awake and a few minutes later was executing a victorious war-whoop under \u2018'Jim\u2019s\u201d window, but \u201cJim,\" being as wise as a serpent,concluded not to bear it, so the con sequence was, that after whooping himself hoarse and crowing after the most approved fashion, our hero concluded that \u201cJim\u201d must have gone to his grandmother\u2019s to spend Thanksgiving and hopped out of the yard a degree less vigorously than he had come in.The person he encountered was a good-natured Irishman who had been his father\u2019s gardener.Mr.Prowse wished him the \u201c top of the morning\u201d and invited him to come in to a hotel near by and have breakfast with him.The invitation was novel and joyfully accepted, and it was not until he had eaten a platetul of pancakes and Mr.Prowse was smoking bis morning's pipe that Fink was suddenly reminded that his mother might possibly disapprove of his being there.He remembered an errand, too, which he had promhed to do for her the day before ; it w as to get a squash for the dinner.The streets, as i\u2019ink started out, stemed as quiet as Sunday and no signs of having a good time any-where.He had advised with Mr.Prowse as to the best place to get a squash and thought he would set about getting one at once and would carry it homo himself as a peace offering for his morning's absence.He had set out for one of the markets at some distance from the hotel when he came across a group of boys, gathered aliout an Italian who was grinding out a dismal tuue on a hand or^an, but the attraction was a monkey, chattering, running along the fences, gathering up pennies.I\u2019ink remained rooted to the spot.Nothing could be more enviable than to own such a monkey.The man played three more dismal tunes, then shouldered his hand-organ and the monkey sprang on top of it, touched his military cap, but I\u2019iuk gladly followed the illustrious owucr down the street in a wide wake of boys.Down one street and up another until he was the only remaining follower and then the entertainment began to pall a little.He found himself near a handsome house and grounds at the end of the town.The Italian sat down by the wayside to feed himself and the monkey on some scraps from his pocket and I\u2019ink looked about him with a sigh.There was a greenhouse near by, belonging to the handsome dwelling-house.Mr.Prowse had not suggested that he should go there for the squash, but Fink thought he might find some unknown and hot-house variety of it, most suitable for a Thanksgiving dinner, and at any rate ho would call on the gardener with so suitable and convenient an errand.The greenhouse door was open and the gardener, although ho couldn\u2019t furnish Pink with the vegetable and laughed a little when he asked for it, was pleasant and disposed to let him look about for an hour or so, until he was ready to lock up the green-house and go home to his dinner.Then i\u2019ink was reminded of his own dinner and his long walk home.He was so hungry at the thought that he bade the gardener a hasty good-bye.When begot outside the grounds the Italian and his monkey were gone and he hurried along the muddy road w ithout stopping for any allure-meut until he came to a church with open door aud children passing in and out of it.I\u2019ink couldn\u2019t resist the temptation of just looking iu for a moment to see what was going on.The beautiful service of Harvest Home was just 4over and away up iu the church was a tall pyramid of vegetables and fruit, bright red and yellow apples, large bunches o?corn and sheaves of wheat, pumpkins and\u2014yes, there was the peace olfering that he sought\u2014the hitherto unattainable squash.Up the aisle walked Fink and with expectant eyes, wedged his way among the crow d of poor children waiting for the fruit and veg( tables to be distributed among them, and just as a gentleman picked up the squash and aaid \u201c Now* who wants this !\" \u201cI do, \u2022aid Fink without hesitation, and it was given to him and he started for his home in triumph.A few moments later I saw my little neighbor, a very untidy Fink, with dirty hands and face and muddy boots, hurrying into his yard with the big squash under his arm.His mother had spent an anxious morning and even his struggles for the squash did not excuse his having run away and I\u2019ink w as kept in his room the rest of the day so his first holiday was only a sort of half holiday, after Children Cry for Pitcher\u2019s Castorla.ü.RESTORES GRA'/ HAIRTQ ITS liAIURAL COLOR.STRENGTHENS AHD BEAUDFY8 THE.HÂlR.CUR® DANDRUFF AND ITCHIHG OF M.SCALP, KEEPS THE HAff?MOIST AHD THE HEAD COOL IS NDTADlfeallRESTORES THE HAIR NATURALLY.FOR THE HAIR.IS ADEUEHTFUL DRESSING FOI( LADIES HAIR.iECQMMEHDS ITSEEF.GNE TRIAL IS CONVINCING.IS THE BEST HAM PREPARATION IN THE MARKET.IMMEDIATELY ARRESTS THE 17\\LI.ING OF HAIR.DOES HOT SOIl THE PIUOWSLIPS OR HEAD-DRESS.Soldly oil Gieiuigts and I\u2019crjumers, 50 cents a IToltl o.J ITîNCIPAL LA-30PATCPY,,ROUEN,Prmtc\u2019^ 1L.\tatrin * , Or.-aKAiAeuNT.MONTFF\\\\L.S AM L OOLTMAN, TAILOR AN» CLOTIIIKB, 3λ;
