"You'll bo Hiiro to come, won't ,
llrs. Archer? It'll be the first so
ciable we've liiul nt Mrs. 1 limes' and
cvorylio'ly'll he there. It'll no a splon
dlil chance for you to Ret acquainted.
And oil. yon', the committee wanted
me to Jink you to furnish an nimolfood
cake. ICveryboily said that the one
you took to the last sociable was the
best they ever tasted. Yen don't know
liow many compliments I heard for it.
"Well, I must hurry ulong; I've a lot
moro places on my list yet. We i;ot
the sorioble up in a hurry, it Un't
Bivin us much time. Well. I'll tell
'em they can depend on your anitel
fooil then, Mrs. Archer. Be sure and
come early." Voluble Mrs. Wiley bus
tied away, still talking.
Margaret Arcner came back from
the door, her pretty face wcm-Ini? a
troubled look. She went directly to
the cupboard, and taking out the cook
book, nervously began turning lb
leiivog. Finding the page fur whicl
sho was Rcarchinnr. she bent above it
studying its directions intently, 'it
seems as ii' I ought to be able to i'r
it," she assured herself. "I simply
must," she went on. emphatically
"And I won't say anything to Uob
about it; I don't want him to know
what a little goose I am." Then she
closed the cook-book and began to get
supper.
It. was less than a month since Rob
Archer brought. Ilia bride to the old
homestead; but she was already well
enough acquainted with their thrifty
neighbors to know with what seorr
tlm acknowledgment that she could
not cook would bo received. The fact
that she had spent nil her time clerk
ing in a store since she left school
would seem no excuse to them.
There had been one other sociable
rinco she came to the neighborhood,
but fortunately her mother wa.i visit
ing her that week nnd it was she who
made the angel-food cake that had
created such favorable comment. Mar
garet could cook vegetables very cred
itably: i-o with the pies and cakes that
her mother had left baked up when
she went home, sl.o had gotten along
very well so far. Rut what was she
to do now? She must managa in some
way to live up to the reputation that
I that, angel-fond cake had given nor.
J Her cheeks grew hot as sue saw. 111
1 inn. the critical looks that
Jwere bestowed upon each cake as u
'was cut. She never could face those
'xccllent housekeepers again .r her
,.ni.o failed to hear the test; and she
nust take one, for they were depend
ing upon her.
The next morning, as soon as Rob
-,as out of sight, she got the cook-
i,,ni.- rinwn airain. It opened readily
.'; the right page this time. Margaret
astened its leaves open on tne Kiicn
n table.
'One and one-half cups sugar; one
in. Hour; whites of ten eggs." She
:ul slowly on through the directions.
'it doesn't look very hard" she

soniethli'.R burning. She riihhed to the
xiove, threw open the oven door, and
wax nearly choked by the smoke that
rushed out. Her cake was burnt to a
blnck cinder!
Sho Jerked It out of the oven, and
carrying It to tho door, nho neraped It
out Into r pail. Then nhe looked rue
fully at tho empty tlu. "I must have
hud Ui hot a firy," ahe concluded. "I'll
have to make another."
The oven had time to cool down be
fore she had the next cake mixed up,
and she took care not to have very
much fire. She was very anxious this
time, and determined that this cake
Burnt to a black cinder,
shnuld not scorch. Every few minutes
sho opened tho oven door and looked
at It. It raised nicely and seemed to
lie in no danger of burning. At the end
of the three-quarters of an hour it
was almost as white and doughy-looking
as when she put It in. Sho decided
that something must be done. There
was not fire enough this time; that
was sure. She would put a little wood
in the stove. She hastened out and
brought in a handful and put it on the
living fire. Ten minutes later she care
fully opened the oven door to look at
her cake. It was about half an inch
in. thickness!
Margaret's lips set in a determined
line. The spirit of her fighting ances
tors was aroused. She would not bo
conquered by a mere cake!
She was hot, and oh, so tired! Rut
she went heroically to work again.
A little after 4 o'clock Uob came up
the walk, whistling. The threshing at
Smith's was finished, and he was
home early.
At the door he stopped in surprise.
Margaret, who was always ready to
receive him, in the daintiest of after
noon dresses, when he returned, sat by
the kitchen table in a soiled morning
wrapper. Her hair was disheveled
and sprinkled with flour; one hand
was done up in a white cloth, and two
fingers of the other hand showed
great burns. Her head rested on her
arms, and she was crying bitterly.
Rob was startled. It. was several
minutes before he could understand
what was the trouble. At last, how
over, with her tear-stained face hid
den against his coat. Margaret sobbed
out a history of the day's disasters.
Rob laughed; but it was a comfort
ing laugh. "Is that all?" he exclaimed,
cheerily. "Don't worry about that,
little wife. I wasn't my mother's hired
girl all one year for nothing. That's
the very cake sho always used to have
me make. I got to be quite an expert
at It. It's a pity if we can't make one
more."
Ten minutes later Rob, enveloped In
a great kitchen apron, was busily at
work stirring up another cake.
"It's lucky we have plenty of eggs.
How many cakes did you make, any
way," he asked, a he noticed tho
i.roat pile of eggshells.
"Four!" Margaret looked foolish as
he answered. "You did not know what
a silly wife you hod married, did you.

Church Decorating.
Women who tul.o upon themselve.i
(lie pleasant duty of decorating their
churches may bo Interested In what
the bishop of Worcester bus to. siyy .oii. j
the subject. "Flowers," snys tho
bishop, 'should ho used only on fes- j
tivals; they should never be allowed
to remain ui'ior they aro withered; j
they should ho voluntary onerings;
there is no ecclesiastical reason why
they should be put in brazen Jars or
tortured into unnatural shapes; thoro
should not lie too many of them;
leaves or flowers should not be cl
lowed to intrude themselves upon or
near the ledge of tho pulpit so as to
interfere with the preacher' hands or
hooks, or to hinder tho proper use of
the font."
Collecting Old Doors.
Near Pontefraet lives a bunker who
has a museum of old doors. They aro
from old houses, castles, or abbeys
that have some historic interest.
Quito lately ho bid Vm in rails for
a door through which, during tho
French revolution, Marie Antoinette,
Charlotte Corday, Hujiton and liobe
fpierre passed lo the guillotine. Ono
of his doors Is said to have shut off
Charles 11 from his Itoundhead pur
suers, and It bears marks' of a barter-liiB-ram.
A collection of ' ancient
weathercocks is also one of this gen
