in C. & B. jams you can taste the actual favour of luscious, fully ripened fruit, fresh from English orchards. Crosse & Blackwell select only the best of the season's 'pick, and use the finest sugar in making their jams. You can always rely on the freshness of C. & B. preserves because of the universal demand throughout China. This makes it necessary for the stores to build up their supplies at frequent intervals-there are no old stocks remaining on the shelves for months at a time.

MY WIFE'S SECRETARY,

[By Her Husband.]

When my wife told me that she was going to advertise for a secre- tary, I had not the slightest idea that she meant anything outrageous as a man!

Well! She has one-the kind that one meets in advertisements as:Of good appearance, Pub. School. Univer. Preferred, French Spanish essential."

He is good-looking in a way, though rather too effeminate for my taste with his waved fair hair. delicate skin, and perfectly mani cured hands. I can never under- stand how anybody like that can play rugger, but he does. He is one of two famous brothers who play for their historic school.

He is always in front of me to open doors-- being sharper in his movements than myself, and he never seens clumsy or knocks things over, as do if I attempt to hurry. It is rather bad taste, on his part. 124 This comes in here and there. consider, when an elderly man is 23 Describes the postman's smile on about, and exceedingly annoying,

His dress is rather too smart for a young, man in his position. He has become much smarter too since he has been in my wife's office.

I am always hearing about him at meals his absolute discretion.) honour and devotion to duty. It is apt to become monotonous to put it quite mildly.

I offered to take my wife to the exhibition of Italian pictures, but she had already been one lunch- time, and she had taken the secretary. He is very keen on pictures, apparently, and my wife
