The word had evidently something to do with eating:, for the three actors sat at a Barmecide feast and quaffed wine from empty goblets, and carved imaginary haunches of venison.

Recen.iy I visited in a home where the pantry door lacked a knob and, fit- ting in closely as it did, much timo was required to get it open. Yet dur- ing my stay the housewife opened that stubborn door several times, requiring at least two minutes each time In tedious pushing and mo- i ig about either way in order to persuade It to open. I gave the lady my recipe for ouch caaes â€" Just a small leather loop, cut from the top of an old shoe and held firmly in place with tacks. Less than five minutes would be required for cutting and nailing In place. Or a spool sawed in half and one part of it fastened on with a screw of proper length would make a handy knob. Another door in the same house had shrunk away from the frame until it failed to Intch; this door, too, was closed a number of time.s, and each time a bit of cloth was folded, held in plnco with one hand and the door clos- ed with the other. I also gave my own remedy, one which I have used many times, for just the same trouble. Cut one, two or three pieces of leather one inch' wide, and about three inches Iqpg; tack these firmly, one to the door frame and one on the cdg* of the door at a corresponding height. This girw' a hoiselest closing and thA Wather hold* the door in place. If shrinkage has been too great, two or more thlek- ne'-">s of leather must ba med. â€" T,.

Everyone felt it to be singularly In- appropriate, and Miss Watson said it gave her quite a turn to hear the relish with which he knolled out: "Wit with his wantonness Tasteth death's bitterness: Hell's executioner Hath no ears for to hear What vain art can reply! I am sick, I must die â€" God have mercy on us." She regarded him with disapprov- ing eyes as a thoroughly uncomfort- able character. One of the guests sang a drawing- room ballad in which the words "dear heart" seemed to occur with astonish- ing frequency. David and Jock sang a song compos- ed by themselves and set to a hymn tune, a somewhat ribald production. Mhor then volunteered the informa- tion that Mrs. M'Cosh could sing a song. Mrs. M'Cosh said, "Awa wi' ye, laddie," and, "Sic havers," but after much urging owned that she knew, a song which had been a favorite with her Andra. It was sung to the tune of "When the kye come hame," and was obviously a parody on that lyric, beginning: "Come a' ye Hieknd pollismen That w^hustle through the street, An' All tell ye a' aboot a man Tliat'e got triple erpanslon feet He's got braw, braw tartan whuakers That defy the shears and kaim: There's an awfu' row in Brigton When M'Kay comce hame." go. "Well," said Miss Watson, "it's been a very plieasant evening, though I woludn't wonder of I had a night- mare about that funeral pyre. . . . 1 always think, don't you, that there's something awful pathetic about Christmas?
