She was a widew with five daughters, all of them charm- but the third, Rosa Matilda by name, quickly rayed all my power of appreciating the at- tractions of her sisters. I was introduced to the family by a mutual friend, and from that time became a constant, too constant, visitor at thelr hous Once a fortnight merged into once a and once a week insensibly increased to twice, or evenoftener. It was a pleasant house to visit, and we had remarkably jolly evenings. Iwas rather a favorite with the whole family, bat the kindness ot Mrs. Dimply was simply overwhelming. If I chanced to be a little late, she would shake her ringlets at me, and remark, in her deep voice (she had a rich mel- low voice, which always reminded me somehow | of fruity port): “Late again, Doctor, you naughty, naughfyman. 1 suppose they couldn't spare you at the hospital. What a thing It is to be so clever.” Of course I wasn’t adoctor, and the hospital could haye done perfectly’ well without me, but the whole thing was very soothing. Then again if I sang a song, Mrs. D. (who did so pity anybody who hadn't a soul for | music) would sit enraptured, frowning flercely and holding up a warning finger if any one ven- tured to interrupt. And whén I had finished— e me.

I started on my daily round to look in at the hospita! and call on my few patients, and did not return until dinner time. My little wife came out to meet me in the hall with by no means her usual smiling face; indeed, it struck me that her eyes were a littie red. I did not make any remark until we were lett alone. Then I in- quired the cause. The poor little woman tried | hard to maintein her composure, but it was not until after she had had a good cry on my shoul- | der that I extracted from her, by degrees, that | mamma had been “going on” at her so, telling her that she did pretty nearly everything wrong, that she felt quite discouraged and miserable. I comforted her as best I could. The dinner, for the first time sinee our marriage, was a fail- ure; and Mrs. D. did not improve matters by re- markiog, in her sweetest manner, that she feared all along it would beso. If dear Rosie had only taken her advice, and hadn't done this and had done that, and had been a leetle more particular about something else, all would have been as it should be. Of course, I took my wiie’s part, and testifed, with some warmth, that up to that day the cookery had always been perfection. Mrs. D. drew herself up, and tor the remaifider of the meal retired within herself, from which dignified but constrained position it took three glasses of my best Madeira to extri- cate her. We had hitherto been accustomed to have @ little music every evening, but we were de barred from that pleasure py Mrs. D. taking possession of the sofa In thé drawing-room, and going to sleep immediately after dinner. It struck me that if she objected ‘to the sound of the piano she might as well betake her- self to some other room, and I tried a few chords to see if she would take the hint and re- tire; but she merely opened her eyes with the airof a saint in the act of martyrdom, and faintly remarked that she feared one of her dreadful headaches was coming on again. Of course, under such circumstances, music was out of the question, and my reading aloud to | Iny wife, which was another of our epjoyments, | was equally tabbooed. In desperation i hinted to Rosie that we had better return to the din- ing-room, but the sleeping beauty on the sofa languidly’ opened her eyes and said: “Pray keep me company, my dears; assure you you don't disturb me in the least,” which, if snoring js a sign of undisturbed repose, we certainly didn’t. She continued to dose for the re- mainder of the evening, but if by any chance I pressed my wife's hand, or ventured on any other little conjugal endearmetit, one eye of the sleeper would slowly open and gaze at mé with an expression—I really hardly know what ex- Pression, but the effect was awtul. Nobody, Who hasn't tried it, can imagine the nameless horror, theuncanny and witch-like fascination that is contained in the steadfast gaze of a sin- gle eye, particularly if that eye belongs to a motfer-in-law. The evening came to an end at last and was tollowed by eeveral others as like it as possible. My wife and I, who had been accustomed to make sweet music together, or to sit side by side and hand in hand on the sofa, enjoying the last new magazine, now sat in grim propriety on opposite sides of the fireplace, hardly yen- turing to talk above our breath for fear ot dis- turbing mamma-in-law, whose nasal ophicleide kept up a smooth droning burr, occasionally in- | terspersed by rapid snorts, like corks drawn in | qui sion. As we could no longer enjoy | evenings at home I determined to make an to enjoy them abroad, and accordingly an- nounced to Rosie at dinner time one day that I intended to treat her to the ballad concert at St. James’ hull that evening, Mamma-in-law, | who no lounger cared for wusie when it could be had gratis on the premises, was immediately seized with an Intense desire to near that dear Signor somebody or other, and accordingly I had to take her. too. f must own that she offered to pay for herself, but on my saying politely that 1 could not possibly low her todo. so, she yielded without r.

And I cordially sympathized with her. The “wi and the th % or two” had expanded into three, into four, and still there was no in-law’s departure.

We had only one room | to give them, and they must share it. We, at any rate, should be doing all in our power, and they must make the best of the arrangement. Mrs. Dimply was out when the telegram ar- | Tived; but at dinnertime I broke to her, as | Zently as 1 could, that my motver was coming | to town unexpectedly, and would have to share her room. “Dear me,” she said, “I am afraid that. will be very inconventent for both parties, And I um such a very light sieeper!

Nothing teaches housekeep- ing like a few mistakes to begin with.” “Yes, perhaps Mrs. Dimply; “but dear Rosa is so ve-ry inexperienced.” No doubt,” said my mother, still more sweetly. ‘‘Isupposeall Young wives are at first starting. But the inexperience soon rubs off when once they are left to their own devices. Never fear, Rosa, my dear, you'll soon learn your business if you are let alone.” Mrs. Dimply looked uncomfortable, and changed the subject, rather to my own relief. We had supper that evening, my mother being in the habit of dining at midday, and soon after the cloth was removed Mrs. Dimply, complain- ing that she felt tired, went to bed. “My mother sat chatting for an hour or so longer, and then she, too, wished us good night, and retired. I felt a little anxious as to how the old and new tenants of the 5) room would get on together, their habits ing as unlike as well could be. Mrs, Dimply was, it I may be permit- ted the expression, rather “stuffy” in her ways. She liked a fire in her bedroom and warm water to wash with, and was dreadfully atraid of draughts. My mother affected cold baths, slept with her window open summer and winter, and always declared-that she could not breathe in a close room. Mrs. Dimply liked to lie in bed in the morning, and found It hard work to get down stairs in time for a 9 o'clock breakfast. My mother set her alarum for 5 in the summer and 6 in winter, and did a couple of hours’ work of some kind or other before breakfast. I did not know how far she would transplant her country habits to London; but the next morn- ing, punctually at 6, Rosa and I were awakened bya sound like a sky-rocket of the largest size suddenly going offin the adjoining room. “Good gracious! what's that dreadful noise?” said Rosa. “That's mother’s pet alarum,” I said, laugh- ing. “Sie would never forgive herself if she didn’t get up at her usual time.” “But what about my poor mother?” said Roea, laughing in her turn. “She'll be frightened out of her senses.” “Oh, she'll get used to it after a day or two, and perhaps we shall have her down in proper time for breakfast, which is more than she has been for the last three mornings.” “Ah—uml” said Rosa, “What did you say?” I inquired, but I found she had gone to sleep again. When we went down to breakfast my mother was already in the dining-room. Rosa asked her how she had slept. “Capitally, my dear,” she said, “thank you, I can always sleep well. But I'm afraid your mamma did not have avery good night. Between ourselves, she was a little injudicious at supper, and she has suffered for it” As she spoke, Mrs. Dimply appeared, fully dressed, but with a shetland shawl tied round her head and looking the picture of misery. “I am sorry to hear you are not very weil, Mrs. Dimply,” I sald. ‘‘What is the matter?” “The matter! Why, that dreadful open window to be sure,” with an injured glance at my mother, ‘It has giveg me one ot my worst neuralgic headaches,” It appeared that my mother on going to bed found Mrs. Dimply already asleep. The ventilation being, #ecording to her notions, insufficient, she had opened one of the win- dows about six inclies at the top, and kept {t so all night. “You don’t really think It was the window?” saia my mother sweetly. “Let me assure you that you are mistaken. I must show you some day what the celebrated Dr. Dillwater says In his book, ‘Ventilation and Vitality.’ Dr.” Dill- water says it’s absolutely idiotic. not to say criminal, to sleep with one’s window shut. Wi Isleep with my bedroom window open night of my life, and Jook at me!” ps you have an exceptionally strong constitution,” suggested poor Mrs. Dimply. “Oh, dear, no, not at all! Indeed, rather the reverse. I am naturally delicate; but I study the laws of health. wane | break the laws of health, you must pay the fine, you know Now if might venture, Mrs. Dimply, I could tell you exactly thecause of your headache. Of Course it was not for me to interfere, but I was quite sure last night that you would have a headache this morning.” “Indeed!” sald Mra. Dimply, faintly. “Yes, indeed. It was—yon're sure you'll for- give me for speaking piatnly?—it was those pickled onions at supper. Pickled onions, and hot whisky and water to follow! They're ‘both very nice, I admit; but at our time of life” (Mrs. Dimply was quite as old as my mother, but wouldn't have owned to it by ten years) “we are compelled to be careful. “If not, asf eaid before, we have to pay the penalty.’ Now will you let me prescribe for you?—I am a capital doctor,I assure you. Just one Cockle’s pill C1 can’give you one if you like), and it'll put youto rights directly. But you must really get in the way of sleeping with your window open, if you wish to enjoy good health.” “Your remedies are too heroic for me,” said poor Mrs. Dimply, shaking her head. “And that dreadful alarum! I declare I haven't got over the fright it gave me, yet.” ‘Did it really startle you?” said my mother. ow. do you know Iam so used to it that 1 hardly notice It. It does just wake me, and that’s all.” “Startle me! The horrid thing frightened me so that Iam shaking still. I thoucht the house was falling down at the very least; and asto getting to sleep again after that, it was out of the question.” “T assure Phe you won't mind it in the least after a few days,” said my mother amiably. “1 believe it does strike strangers as a little loud, but it’s really nothing when you're used to it. You'll find it won't sound half 80 loud to-mor- Tow morning.” “I trust I shan’t be within hearing of It to- morrow morning. The girls are wanting me dreadfully at home, and if Rosa will excuse me, I think I shall go to-day. Now that Kosa has «ot you to advise her, Mrs. Smithers, I am really not needed.” “Rosa wilirab along, I Care say, though T shan’t trouble her with my advice, unless it's specially asked tor.

The parting be- tween her and my mother yas quite affecting, the regret ot the latter at> losing her so soon being only tempered by the prospect (on which she laid continual stress) of: @ nice long visit to be enjoyed together at an early date. The cab drove irom the deoxy. mg,mother waving her last adieu from the doorstep. I could almost have imagined that there was a twinkle in her eye as she returned to the inal. She then de- scended to the kitchen, and after a brief absence returned with the intelligence that cook had thought better of it gud copsented to stay. Her next proceeding was to produce an ABC Guide and to begin to calculate trains. “But you are not leaving us, surely?” began Rosa, “Ido hope, now you are here, you will stay a week or two with us.” “You're very kind to say so, my dear, but 'd rather not, all the same! The business on which 1 came up to town will be completed this after- noon, and to-morrow morning [ shall start homeward again.” Rosa began a little complimentary pressing, but the old Indy stopped her— “No, my dear, there's an old-fashioned pro- verb, ‘two are company and three are none,’ and I've a notion that the saying Is never truer than about husband and wite. Ihave a eel respect for mothers-in-law (naturally so, being a mother-in-law myself); but it’s possible to have too much even of a good thing. I'll you a fi Mens once in’a way, never tear, won't stay at present. now our | dear mother is gone" (here her eyes twinkied again), “I tiave really no inducement to stay. It’s a pity; we should have been such nice com- panions for each other. But don't forget our meat ins thas of my word—the next time comes to pay you a staying Jet me know, and [° come too!” * . * . * * _ Five have passed away, and a young family ig springig up around us.
