She therefore gave the child strict orders never to do much a thing. The next day Nelly re- turned from her visit laden down with pretty odds and ends of various sorts, and when her mother called her and questioned her severely if she had asked for these things, she replied, with conscious virtue ‘o, mother dear, You told me I must never ask for things, so I just took them."- Harper's Bezar, NOT BUILT {OR HIM, A N wmimiver of Whistler is re- sponsible for this: ‘The artist was once Visiting ft a house with rather complicated stairways During the course of the after considerable good cheer se ot Whistler HAD HI8 GOOD POINTS. “é HPREVER did you get that W dreadful black eye, Mrs Hawkins?” said the edvt end district vist- tor, as she seated hersetf on the) extreme edge of | the least shaky | chair im the| room, “It were the result of a trit- lin’ haltereation wiv my ‘usband, mum," replied the lady of the house. “Dear, dear, dear™ cried the visitor, holding up her hands in horror; “how | dreadful!
