KITCHEN DRESSERS.--Fine cooks.

SELF-RESPECT.--_Cook (to fellow-servant who has been after a new
place)._ "Well, 'Liza, will it suit?"
_Eliza._ "Not if I knows it! Why, when I got there, blest if there
wasn't the two young ladies of the 'ouse both a-usin' of one piano
at the same time! 'Well,' thinks I, 'this _his_ a comin' down in the
world!' So I thought I was best say good mornin'!"

THE BACK-DOOR BELL.--A pretty kitchen maid.
[Illustration:_Prize Idiot (who doesn't know all the family)._
"Beastly slow here. I'm off. Which way do _you_ go home?"
_Son of the House._ "I'm there now."]

NOT SO BAD AS THEY SEEM.--Mistresses show more consideration for their
servants than is generally supposed. Not long ago Mrs. Fidgitt was
heard telling Mary Ann that she had been scouring the whole house for
her.
