Mitchell.) \Yez will 'be, after finding' 'em spiit into kindlin' wood some day,\ said Nora maliciously, regarding Hammish's < treasured blocks with an evil eye:; The position of general slavey in a cheap tenement does not improve one's tem- per. \Do yez think yez can be keepin' a mess of chips to play wid when we ail do be sufferin' crool for coal?\ \Don't know nuffin' 'bout coal. Don't care,\ retorted Hammish sturdily. Five years old and gentleman unafraid was he. . . . Presently he bethought him to visit his special friend, the little seamstress Ton his own floor. Concealing the pre- clous blocks, he trotted off to her room, and, getting no answer to his knock, ipushed open the door and went boldly n, Why had Maida let her fire g He anuffed the biting air doubtfully, wondering where she was. Then {Ia discovered her in a drawn heap on the bed. he thin blankets were huddled over her, On top was piled her thread bare Jacket and the wrapper she had been making for a firm. Hammish went to the bedside. \Is you sick, Malda?\ he asked petu- lanty. He did not like sick people. The girl openel a pair of great vio- ~~-~\Not sick,\ She said slowly. \ \'Jeat «cold. I'm freezin' to death. It's taken go long I hope 'tis come at last!\ \Does freezin' to death mean you goin' to die?\ \Yes.\ The blue lips scarcely shaped , the word, but-be caught it. It dis- tressed him greatly by virtue of knowl- edge newly learned from the resource- ful Nora, who had been trying to frighten the child with stories of | Death's grim paraphernalia. He seized her shoulder in his baby hands and tried to shake -her. \Don't die!\ he cri¢éd piercingly. \You said Jack was comin' home to marwy vou! How can he marwy you if you Lo dciad? Do you fink he would dig you up?\ > - \Oh Hammish,\ said the girl very faintly, \please go away! It will be long, so long before he comes-I can- not live till then. (And they told me there was no more work after this. When Jack comes tell him I wasn't afraid of-the grave. It must be warmer down there.\ Conscious that he was growing very cold himself, Hammish, fired with a sudden resolve, made for the battered | coal scuttle. He would make a fire himself. For If Jack came home and had to dig Malda up might he not hold him ”gammlsh) responsible? How often 'Malda had told him proudly of her big, warm-hearted sailor who was com- ing across the great seas! \And a was in no such place as this when he knew me and courted me,\ she would say proudly still. '\'\Mammy and I had a little house of our own.'> Then with *A droop of her tired lide, \But when she died, after being sick so long, It was hard, so hard to make bread. You don't know how hard, lttle Hammish, but it will be your turn some day.\ . \Don't care!\ Hammish was wont to reiterate scornfully, \Will take my turn all right, Shall be a man,\ But now he felt vaguely that a man's responsibility résted on him long ere he had looked for It. For the battered scuttle was utterly empty. There was nothing in the pitifully bare room out of which the tinlest fire could be made. In his search he lifted the faded cur- tain which covered the box termed a pantry. Not a fragment of food was within. It dawned on Hammish that If there wasg no food as well as no con! Maida might be hungry. Again he at- het DINNER GOWN OF PINK LIBERTY SATIN. The waist is finished in a deep point in ffont, with shirrings on the slde and forming a hMigh girdle in, the back.

Talks With the Housewife. s I am always interested in anything which pertains to language, especially as far as grammar is concerned, and conse- quently the clipping I enclose attracted my attention, having invariably heard No. 1 used in dictation and dally intercourse, I conclud- ed to try and secure the opinion of some other authority on that great stumbling block-English grammar. I therefore cut the clipping out of the paper and submit ted It to a professor in one of our promi- nent institutions of learning, who claims th No. 2 is the correct form, In my opinion (which counts for very little) it certainly sounds more euphonious than No. 1, and as I stated 'before, 1 have al- ways heard It used thus. I do not think that the subject Is one that is worthy of further discussion, but robably some other constituent would fiko to take It up again. If the majority rules for No. 1 It mus undoubteciy' be cor- rect. ,. M. A. The enclosed clipping is my answer to a query relative to the correctness of two phrases: '\'1 You would better send me a copy.\ f \2 You had better copy.\ . I repeat my reply: Leave out the qualifying word \better'\ in each sen- tence and see what you have, You can- not parse No. 2. Hence No. 1 is the more grammatical of the two. It should be in universal use, As a disciple of the old school of rudi- mentary education, I steadfastly Incline to the opinion that an unpa@rsable sen- tence is incorrect in some of its parts. Hotspur's declaration: I had rather be a kitten and cry \mew!\ Than one of these same ballad-mongers, is often cited in support of the po- sition taken by \H. M. A.\ and his pro- fessor, Setting ' aside the fact that Hotspur's was not a model of correct speech, none of the sticklers for ancien authorities in grammatical construc- tion would double superlatives because Mark Anthony says: 'The most un- send me a % may be her portrait, If so Guido Rent did not paint It, as is alleged. He did not begin his career in Rome until some years after her death. . The whole tale is probably, largely, if not entirely, fiction, although Bertilotti, in his \Francesco Cenci, a la Sua Fam- (Francesco and His Farhily), published in 1877, gives It In detail. \Chen-chey\ is the nearest approach that can be given (In writing) to the pronunciation, 2. \Miriam\ is supposed to be a crea- tion of Hawthorne's imagination, al- though, of course, literary gossip has tried to fit the character upon several flesh-and-blood people. MEANING OF BRIDAL RICE, Kindly inform me through your col- umn how I could procure the address of a friend of mine in an I dinngalg. Is thero a place in that clty \\the mams of which I do not care to have puglished) where they could furnish the, address? CONSTANT READER. Write to the postmaster of the city, enclosing stamped and self-addressed envelope, asking for the address, \Io soltle a dispute, kindly state how the word \vase\ is pronounced-whether as \vase\ in rhyme with \case or \vat.\ The English pronunciation is \vase rhyming with \case'\ and \base.\ Bays an eminent lexicographer: \The pro- nunclation 'vaz,' now affected by many, is an - attempt to Imitate the French pronuncilatfon.\ You can take your - choice. If you say '\Paree\ (Paris), then say \vaz.\ Some even run it Into \vause.\ 1 How can I keep meat over winter without saiting same? 2. Why Is rice thrown at a newly mar- rled couple?
