Perhaps he was being taken where he would never see any of his ! oid friends again. Farmer Brown's Boy was whistling now. Somehow that whistle cheered Peter a little. Often he had heard Farmer Brown's Boy whistle and he had noticed that it was usually when and somehow he couldn’t believe that Farmer Brown's Boy could be happy if he was planning to do him any harm. . How Peter did long to peep out and see where they were going! But there wasn't a chance. It seemed to him that journey never would end. He wanted it to end. and yet he didn want it to end. You see he hadn't the least idea what would happen when it did end. But the only thing he could do was to cling hard to faith. “It.1s going to be all right. It is going to be all right” Peter kept saying over and over to himself. “Farmer. Brown's Boy is a friend. know he is a friend even if he has kept me a prisoner. He is a friend of all the little people of the Green Forest and the Green Meadows. He won't let any real harm come to me. T know It. 1 know it.

And she just laughed and told me this story. Sald [ could draw my own con- clusions about the analogy of it. It seems that during the war, when there was a decided servant shortage. Mrs. Horton was trying out a new maid who seemed perfectly hopeless. There was nothing that she seemed to know how to do properly. “But Mrs. Horton felt that after all she was better than none, and. that perhaps If she were only patient she might train her to be of some use. But Esmeralda_was so sulky that it seemed « trifle difficult to show her the error of her ways. Mrs. Horton pondered over the problem and finally decided to use diplomacy. She watched and watched { to find_something that the girl did do { well, thinking that if she commended her for that she might suggest that possibly Esmeralda would perform some { of her other duties equally well. Espe- { cially annoying she found Esmeralda‘s manner when she answered the door- | bell. The maid would go to the door wearing an untidy apron, would speak gruffiy to the person who had rung the bell, and end by slamming the door rudely in the caller's face. “One blessed morn Mrs. Horton awakened to hear Esmeralda answering the telephone in the hallway outside her bedroom door.

In fact, it must be ascribed to a period quite some time ln(u:r the advent of the Normans, for the name Isabella itself did not exist among the Anglo-Saxons or among the ormans at the time of the conques evertheless, you can trace a rem- {nant of Norman influence in the di- {minutives of the meme, the endings, {in “ot" and “et," which place it not jamong the very latest of surnames.

Be Sure First. Every housewife should make up her mind which of the varlous sorts of cooking utensils on the market are best sulted for hor requirements. She should know the advantages of aluminum, en- amel and agate ware, tin, copper, nickel and other metals and surfaces that are used in the making of kitchen utensils. i Her judgment on this subfect should | : be the result of deliberate consideration, and she should be quite sure where she stands before she lets a glib-tongued | oung man or woman Mflln‘ at her! door persuade her to Invest in a lot of | kitchen utensils that she will later find inconvenieat or inappropriate. Often it is perfectly well to place orders with agents in this way. They give you an excellent chance to inspect i their wares in the quiet of your own home.
