I do not doubt that Knty is capable of doing all there is to lie done there. If not 1 will get someone to assist her. But she needs Rome one to see that she does what she ought to do, and also does it in a proper manner.” Mrs. Morrison remained silent. “This morning,” continued he, “I sent "home a brace of ducks, but when I returned, bringing my friend with me, I found the dinner consist ed of a few scraps of cold meat. I must say 1 felt quite mortified.” “I don’t see but you are wasting syonls talking about it; I’m sure I'm sorry, but that won’t help (he matter any." “If - this were the Inst time the thing was likely to happen, I should not say more.. As it is, I fed very much disturbed, and,if anything of the kind occurs again, I; shall, ti'y to find! s(Ane Way toiremedy it.” Saying? this,. Robert Morrison loft, the roo* while his wife sank, back into the arm-chair-from which she had rise at her husband's entrance,, and continued reading. Robert and Ella Morrison had been married five years; but their, married life had not been productive qf happiness. At first’Ell11, had taken pains to plppse her husband, and had studied to please him in every particular. But, as time passed on, she gave up more and more of the management of the household affairs to Knty the servant, and spent ljftost of her time iu reading. Before her marriage Ella had been a beauty and a belle. Her mother had never allowed her to do anything in the kitchen. She was usually engaged, either with fau- cy work or in reading the last novel. On the contrary, Robert's mothor Was one of those domestic women who seoui, without any apparent ef fort, to make every one around her comfortable and happy. Everything was done in the right time and in the right place. If auything in her domestic affairs went wrong, none of her family could see any difference in her appearance as they gathered iu the sittiug-room after tea. How well Robert loruombcred the ? leasant evenings passed at home! here was a large family of tlium— five brothers auu four sisters. The lust winter that the children had all been at home, each of the boys lmd worked himself u pair of slippers with worsted on canvas, while one of the sisters oitlior read from some book in which they were all interest ed, or played some familiar tune lit which they all Mined. When Robei^Vmarried Ella Wal lace he had hoped that his home might be bright and cheerful, like the one he had left. But lie had yet to learn that tho little faults w hich in a lover’s eyes seemed trilling de fects which tune would modify, grow alarmingly which? there was no need of concealment. Ella was vain of her beauty, and usually took pains with hor dross, but if she happened to sit down to rend beforo dressing herself for the day, her husband mgariably found her with uncombed nun- and soiled wrapper, when he uaiue home to din ner. • Matters continued to grow worse. One day Robert proposed hiring a houskeoper, but Ella would not listen to it. “1 am not willing to have a house keeper," said she. “the first thing I shall know she will bo dictating to > ready a few minntis too early mo. I prefer to be the mistress in my j too late.” Aunt Oluru soon departed, and “But haven't you time enough for that when he is not at homo ? Or, what Would be bettor still, why don’t you invite him to read in the even ing, while you are sewing?” “He doesn’t like the same kind of books that I do." “It would do you good to hear u little solid reading now and then. And I daresay he would enjoy read ing a good story occasionally. You may' depend upon it, Ella, if you do not try to make home attractive to your Imshami he will soon seek pleas ure elsewhere. There are many mis erable and neglected wives who bring their misery upon themselves.” “It’s all very well for vou to say this, but you never have Imen mar ried, amiyou don’tuuderstaml about, it/ Of course Robert takes it for granted tliut, I love him. He doesn’t expect mo to keep telling him of it.” “As to my not understanding about it, that may or may not bo. I've a notion that human naturo's about the same the world over, If you do love your husband, he lnay not ex pect lo hear you tell him of it iu so many words, but he will not suppose that y>i vi i 1 r.iat him with more imi'.fiiTcneo than you would a strau- g< v.” •‘I’m sure I always mean to treat him well," said Ella, iu surprise. “You certainly do not study his wishes much or you would have din ner mere punctually.” "One can't always be punctual. It. tikes just about so long to get din ner; 1 alway s allow time enough, but soimitliing almost always happens that one don’t expect.” “Then let Ivuty begin half an hour earlier. It is better to have dinner than own house." But wlmt nm I to do?” said lie. “I novo dare to bring a Lieud home to ilmo witli me lor fear I may find no dinner prepared. I alway s menu to provide everytliiny that you wish, but that is all lean do. Tho cooking depends an the orders you five Katy.” “I’m sure, Robert, you needn’t be so uureasomtble. I always mean to have everything in nice order when Ella was left alone. “Could it be,” she asked herself, “that Robert was .becoming estranged from her?’ The idea startled her, and she resolved to make an effort to prevent it. The next morning Ella rose early. Shu superintended the preparations | for breakfast herself. Everything came on the table ill complete order. ! ! The coffee was delicious, the biscuit ' ight and featlmrv, and the steak get. There’s hardly. ’’ Howin got for lore or money.” “That’ll do very well, Katy.
