Susy Arnold, the young hostess, who kept houso for her two brothers, Harry and Georgo, took ono sido of tho question, wliilo three other gentlemen, besides her tall brother, opposed her. Charly Grey, a blue-eyed, cui-ly-hcadod man, whoso fair round' face and boyish air formed an apparent contradiction to tho assertion he uiado of having fivo years beforo attained majority; Joo Morris, who from a Spanish' unthor inherited jetty hair and eyes, and a palo complexion, and from his father a fino tall figure, and a frank, ingenuous ex-prcwio::; and Milton Ducres, whoso small R H...1 l,ol,C.I 1-1 1- II ! 0 ' I llis llick-linnin finniil! thneix llio.-. ..ill, I - - --: v..vuv ..ii.u iiii.il tuo masters ot the house, waged playful war upon tlio little brown-cyed maiden who sut so demurely upou the sofa. 'Say what you please,' said Susy, 'you will never eouvincu mo of the superiority of men in the capacity of housekeeper).' 'But 1 maintain,' cried Joe, 'that men can keep house without women, and that women cannot do so, unless wo will assist them.' 'For instance,' said Harry, 'when your Biddy was sick last winter, Sue, how would such a mite as you are have brought up coul, kept up the luriiuco fire, and lifted about wood, unless jour two brothers had gallantly relieved you of the care?' '.Not to mention that tho furnace fire weut our. mice 'A truce!' -fa id George, laughing. 'That was my fault; 'but accidents will sum, times happen in the host regulated fami lies, as somebody, namo forgotten, once wisely remarked.' 'I only wish you could keep house,' said Susy, 'for 1 would accept Aunt Jaue's invitation to travel with her this summer, were it not for leaving you.' 'I havo nn idea, here,' cried Charley Grey 'an idea which, if you will agree to act upon it, shall fully euro tho women of tho insane notion of their iudisnensn. bility ahem! that word nearly choked me.' 'The ungallnnt sentence should have quite strangled you,' said Susy. 'Present company ulivays excepted,' was the reply. 'The idea! let's have the idea!' .Suppose we keep houso here, wbilo Miss Susy travels.' 'Here?' cried Susy aghast. 'Yes, why not?' 'Out,' said Susy, 'I'm sure Jcuny would not stay.' 'We don't want hir: wo want nowomen.' Visions of muddy boots on her parlor sofas, cigars on the flower vanes, pipes on the center tables, spittoons iu tho beat bedroom, nod frying pans iu tho library, flitted through the young lady's iniud; but beforo slio could remonstrate, Harry said : , 'So bo it.

'You boil them, of course, was Georgo 's answer. 'Oh, suppose we go down. 'Well, cone along,' said Georgo, taking up tho basket. Tho fire burned brightly, Jonnio had left all iu good order, and tho pnspect was not bad for the ainatcuecr cooks. What do you boil tbcm iu, George?' Oh, anything.' 'But where is it?' 'In some of tho closets, T guess.' Susy eevt' inly world have f. in tod could seen the ovc h . i -ug of her neatly arran ged closets tluit followed.

'Come, let's go up stairs again; it's awful hot here,' said George. 'But the diuncr?' 'Oh, that's got nothing to do but cook till threo o'c'ock.' 'Oh, Georgo, horo's tho potatoes.' Another pot was produced, and tho potatoes with about two gallons of water to the half peck of murphies, put on the fire Smoking chatting, reading, nnd a littlo practice on tho violin, filled up tho morn ing, thouirh Georgo declared it was 'hor- cov;a:'ily was not i ve wot my Blurt front!' one.

Half-past two brought home throe hungry men to dinner. heaveing tho cooks to 'dish up, they all adjourned to tho p:;rlor to cool them selves. That it was rather dusty thcr was not noticod. Jenny had mudo the bods bc-foro she left, but duting tho par lors was busy i work nnd her early s' rt had prevented her from doing it. 'George!' Minnie's vo'co was rather doleful. 'What?' 'Tho firo is out.' 'Out! 'I wonder if nnything's cookod?' 'Tho asparagus is burnt fast tb tho pan!' 'So is tho meat.' 'Tho potatoes?" 'Broken all to pioces, and floating about in thovater.' 'Theso peas are all mushy, Minnio.' 'Punctuality is tho soul of dinner,' cried Joo from tho parlor, it's ton miuutes past three.' 'Go sot tlio table,' growled Georgo. It was unique in its arrnngemeuts, that table, as ths gentlemen sat down to dinner. Tho moat 15 jurcd on an enormous dish, with on ocean of whit 3 china sur rounding its sunken proportions.

Minnio produced tho strawberries. and acme sugar, and the gentlemen d-y. elarcd they had dined superbly.: ; lou loiiows clear away,' said Mimue. greasy napkins, and smoky atmosphere was worst oi all, and Harry inwardly ad nutted that somehow, tho house didu't look as usual.' Thcro was fun the next morning making up tho bods.

'Wo'ro tired.' You'Wash up, don't you,' queried loom. T.io order givon each started to obey. Joo pulled off all tho clothes from his bed! ond having laid tho bolster nnd pil-low on proceeded to pnt on first a blanket next a spread, and finally tho two sheets, finishing off tho whole by putting himself on tho top to rest from his toils. Minnie, after pulling off all tho clothes offona side in trying to tuck them in on tho other, nnd then correcting tho mistake by, tucking them in on tho other, and nulling them off tho first, put tho b lster on o er tho pillow, and concluded it 'would do.' Charley merely smoothed his down sagely observing that if bo pulled the things off, he never could put them on again.

Charley suggested that they should havo their meals sent to them Irom a restaurant. 'All. men cooks, so wo stick to tlio con-teract,' was his final observation. Tho motion was sounded, and carried by unanimous vote. By this time every dish, p!nto, napkin, pot ami pan in tho houso was dirty, and joyfully concluding that they wouldn't want them any more, the gentlemen piled them up in the kitchen sink, on tho tables and on tho door, and left them.

In reaching after one of tho 'crittors," Clmr-lie upset tho table. Crash went tho crock ery. Screams of laughter, cries of disgust, blows thirk as hail, comments on tho heat, jokes, warning", flew about for un hour, and then the panting parties cenod from tlnir labors and viewed sternly tho 'cold corpu.W of their loos. A scream from Minuie , There's ono down my back! 'Jo j,' cried George, 'there's ono uu your hair." 'l-'cn't tr.culion it. Look ut the feller: on your hirt nleevo.' A goneral stampede for tho lath room followed. , ' 'Lot's wanli up hero.' No sooner said than dono.

Dinner timo came, and found then still at work. Dinnor eaten, the dishes .rricd off by lbs waiter from tho restaurant, they changed places, tho waslieis wrung uud hung up, while the others wasbtd. Six o'clock saw tho 1 st shirt hanging in damp liinpuo over tho parlor chandelier; the handkerchief's waved from the maiith piece, and tho stoekiugs dandled from the bars of the Canterbury 'Thoy always iron tho next day, so thev can dry in tho night,' said Houry. After another slaughter of roaches iu the morning, tlio Ore was lighted; the iroiw put on, and the clothes collected rough dry tor tho dual touches.
