A Pleasant Neighbourhood.

"Is that family that has moved in next door neighbourly?" asked one ChanceryLane woman of another. " Yes, they appear to be. They've borrowed flour of me twice, tea once, and sugar three times. They have got oxir coffeemill and one tub and the hatchet and twolengths of the stovepipe and the baby carriage, and the woman empties all her swill over the fence in our yard, and I see her coming across now to hang her clothes on our line." *'I shouldn't think you would like to have them borrow things so much and. act quite so free." "Oh, I don't worry much about it. We've got their mop and about half of their dishes and their rolling-pin and Avashing machine, and the other day I borrowed ten sticks of wood from them, and each afternoon our girl puts on better clothes* than the woman has to her back and' walks up and down on the sidewalk, and to-night I'm going to put out poison for their dog. Oh, we're getting along very nicely, and I think they are going to be very pleasant neighbours. This "always was a splendid neighbourhood."
