Just ne She Pound Them.
20, III not be the least trouble, ? said
the lady boarder, who had wheedled the
mistress Of select clearinghouse into
taking her for six months, although the
mistress had said that she never, never
would take another woman to board,
II don't blame you for not wanting to
board women" said the lady boarder,
while laying off her wrap in her room,
'smost of them are 80 troublesome and
tinicky, but think you'll find I'm not
one Of that sort. / Just take things Is
| find them and make no fuss at all. Now
I'll just wash my hands, and-O, could
you get me little white CASTLE soap in
stead of this cocoanut-oil kind ?"
IN see, said the landlady.
And about the towels-I never use
crash quite 30 rough as this, and I'd like
a Turkish towel on the rack all the
time"
"Well.D
Thank you. Pm determined not to
be troublesom after once get settled,
and I-don't you think this dressing
case would look better on this side Of the
81 don't know"
Seems to me it would. Suppose You
call servant up and let us see how It
will look moved; and while she's here
believe I'll change the bed to the other
20. none at alb
THANK you. don't really care
much, but then-0, would 1t be too
much trouble to have cup Of hot water
sent up to my room an hour before each
meal? think it does me good"
II suppose / can arrange that says
the landlady gloomily.
Thanks; you are kind. Now, guess
Pll-O, l wonder If there is any hot
water in the bathroom? I'd like to run
in and just wash out few little things
that | never send to the laundry. AndI
wonder if I'd be much in the way II
ran down into the kitchen and ironed
them when they're dry? I'll not be
bit Of trouble"
.'The cook may object" says the land
lady blandly. II don't mind myself"
20, I'll get around her easy enough.
Trust me for that. l always do out my
handkerchiefs and small pieces wherever
board, and 10, while think Of It.
I'd like to mention that never drink
anything but green tea, and II It
wouldn't be too much trouble I'd like
my bread without bit Of salt In it.
Perhaps it's only notion, but can't eat
sailed bread"
II hardly know how to manage that"
said the landlady. dubiously.
20, it'll be easy enough. When you
bake just make one loaf without any salt
in 1t. See? hope you won't take
bit OF trouble on my account if Pm some
times too late for my meals. Sometimes
may be out shopping or may feel q
little lazy in the morning and WON'T get
up, but I'll soon find out where things
are in the pantry and will just help my
self without troubling any one."
This strikes the landlady 30 dumb that
she can say nothing, and the obliging
boarder guilelessly rattles on.
81 like hot cakes for breakfast the year
round; and, somehow, no kind of steak
agrees with me but sirloin. Would you
mind ringing for servant and hxving
her lower the window little from the
top? Oh, see the blankets on the bed
are white. It's only foolish notion OF
mine, but really prefer red blankets;
and see you have woven wire springs.
Gould you as well as not exchange them
for the spiral springs? / much prefer
them, and T." but the lsndlady, be.
ing new in the business, has gone from
the room in q dazed condition Of mind,
while the lady boarder reduces her
wants to writing as they occur to her
during the day
