2 " This never will do," said our brave little Kate ;
" The fire will go out and the dinner be late.
Both servants have left because mamma is ill,
So I must try her place and theirs too to fill ;
For papa and brother will both look to me
To get them their dinner and mamma's hot tea.
3 " And I can do it, too, as my work will soon show ;
We were taught all these things at the school where I go,
From the making of fire to the drawing of tea ;
And knowing how makes it quite easy, you see.
I w^onder I wasted so much time in crying.
When I'd only to rise and my school rules be trying."
4 So she closed up the drafts, shook the ashes away ;
As she knew how to work, it was almost like play.
She put in the kindling to start up the fire.
And piled on the sticks just a little bit higher ;
Then, opening the dampers, she lighted the match
And set fire to the papers, that easily catch.
5 And so she went on, this dear little maid ;
Her lessons all kept her from being afraid.
When her heart failed, and she feared she was wrong,
She remembered the nice rules all written in song.
And when, on retiring, her papa she kissed.
He said that no comfort or care he had missed.
6 Now this is the moral from dear little Kate,
Who sets an example to every playmate :
We'll try to learn everything that girls can do.
What happens to Katie may not happen to you ;
But in this world of changes we never can tell.
And you want to be ready to do your part well.

END OF FIRST COURSE.
LAST WORDS.
I WOULD advise after this course additional lessons arranged
on the same plan, teaching the following dishes, excellent receipts
for which will be found in Miss Parloa's Cook Book :
Irish Stew, Fish Chowder, Picked up Codfish, Codfish Cakes,
Pancakes, Mushes, Croquets, and the more ordinary Sauces.
After which I would recommend teaching the pupils to blend the
dishes into simple meals from the lessons they have learned. This is
necessary, as a great many persons have a nice understanding of
each separate item in a bill of fare, who would be perplexed if
obliged to harmonize them for a meal. In the latter part of Mrs.
Whitney's Jttst How, the teacher would find great assistance in
this matter. The following bills of fare for three breakfasts, three
luncheons, and three dinners may be of service. The teacher's
experience in the first course will guide her in the arrangement of
quantities, diagrams, etc.
