There were several easy chairs in the room, and the little square oak table was daintily set out for dinner, over which a soft silk lamp shade shed a rosy hue. Later on I was permitted a peep at the lilliputian kitchen, in which the meals were prepared and cooked. It had been made by partitioning off a few feet of the balcony, and contained a small pas cooker on a table and tiny aluminium saucepans and kettle. The dinner began with thick tomato soup, followed by creamed chicken, with boiled potatoes and onions, mid ended with a fruit mould and little hot steamed batter puddings. Whilst wr were drinking our coffee I remarked—"l suppose it isn't good manners to say how delicious the dinner wa=. so I shall just think it instead." "Did you—or—like the fricasseed rabbit?'' asked Elizabeth, with a twinkle in her eye. "I stewed it till tender, and then cut in up into dice, added half a tin of asparagus (also cut up), and, making a gravy for it with milk and half the liquid, seasoned and thickened it, and added it to the whole. It has deceived —T mean pleased —many." "Our tireless cooker we made ourselves, and it has proved a great boon for Sunday's dinner, when we arc. perhaps, out all Saturday afternoon ami at church on Sunday morning." "Another little useful home-made contrivance is our skirt-board, which we put across the arms of a chair or on the bed and press out collarettes and silk blouses. It was sawn in two, and had hinges fixed, which allows it to be folded in half, and put into the ordinary trunk. At present it is reposing behind th? piano." "You have reduced your woii io a minimum, and have made yourselvef happy and comfortable here," was nv verdict. Then we looked round for on: work-bass and resumed our knitting.

A yellow sickly face is incompatible with any womanly charm. There are cases known where ladies having suffered in silence for years from sickening liver and stomach complaints, simply because they were unable to withstand the weakening and racking propensities of the ordinary purgative medicines. In such cases Laxo-Tonic Pills may be taken with utmost confidence, for they neither unduly purge nor do they weaken. These Pills have been known to bring the roses to a girl's cheeks which had been absent for years. Price, Is and Obtainable e'wrwhero.
