WASN'T NICE.
"Emma," expostulated her husband, "haven't I always told you I won't 'ave the children bringin' in the coals from the shed in my best 'at? It ain't right, Emma !" "Just listen to reason, if you please," his wife replied, coldly. "You have spoilt the shape of that with your funny head> and as you're among the coal all Aay at the wharves, what can a little extra coal dust in your hat matter ?" "You don't see the point, E/mma, explained the husband, assuming an air of great dignity. «*I only wear that 'at in the hevenin's, an' if, while I'm hout, I takes it orf my 'ead, it leaves a black band round my forri'd. Wot's the consequences ? Why, I gets accused . o' washin' my face with my 'at on, and it ain't nice, Emma—l tell you, it ain't nice."

From r Mew Novel.—"The scene was picturesque. tomi-lo Lell; rang out their summons, and the hillside was black with white-robed g&ifi&fcg." ■
