them from the North and . when the
learned professors of Paris and Prague

these accounts must be treated with
due scientific, respect or should be dis

any other effect, except fury in the
cook. The ironical impossibility of ex
pressing indignation otherwise than by
sounds of gentle harmony proved ex
asperating ; the cook was apt to be
come surcharged, so that explosive
resignations, never rare, were some
what more frequent after the intro
duction of the gong.
Mrs. Adams took this increased fre
quency to be only another manifesta
tion of the inexplicable new difficul
ties that beset ail housekeeping. You
paid a cook double what you had paid
one a few years before : and the cook
knew half as much of cookery. a,nd
had -no gratitude. The more you gave
these people, it seemed, the worse they
behaved a condition not to be reme7
died by simply giving them less, be
cause you couldn't even get the worst
unless you paid her what she demand
ed. Nevertheless, Mrs. Adams re
mained fitfully an optimist in the
matter." Brought up by her mother
to speak of a female cook as ."the
girl," she had been instructed by Alice
to -drop that definition in favor of one
not, an Improvement in accuracy ; "the
maid." Almost always; during the 'first
day or so after every cook came, Mr.
Adams would say, at- intervals, with
an air of triumph : "I believe of course
it's a little soon to be sure but I do
really believe this new maid is the
treasure we ve been looking for so
long !" Much in the same way that
Alice dreamed of a mysterious perfect ;
mate for whom she "waited," her
mother had a fairy theory that nidden
somewhere in the universe there was
the treasure,, the perfect "maid," who
would come and cook in the Adamses'
kitchen, not four days or four weeks,
but forever.
The present incumbent was not she.
Alice, profoundly interested herself,
kept her mother likewise so preoccu
pied with the dress that they were but
vaguely conscious of the gong's soft
warnings, though these were repeated
and protracted unusually. ' Finally the
.sound of a hearty voice, independent
and enraged, reached the pair. It came
from the hall below.
"I says goo'-byel" it called. "Da'ss
all !'
Then the front door slammed.
Why, what " Mrs Adams began.
