Inc 0btiEing Laay HoerdeT.
From che Detroit Free Prsss.
aOh, I'll not be the least trouble, >
said the lady boarder, who hat
whecdled the mistress OF q selec
boarding house into taking her fer sil
month";, although the mistress had sale
that che never, never would take an
other woman 10 board.
II don't blame you for not wanting
10 board women," said the lady board
! or, while laying of her wrap In hel
room, s'most OF them are SO trouble
some and finicky, but l think you'll
ind I'm not one OF that sort 1 JUS
take things as / find them and make
NO fuss at all. Now, I'll Just wash my
hands. and-0, could you get me &
little white CASTLE soap instead of this
cocoanut oil kindf'
'1'll see," said the landlady.
And about the towels L never use
crash quite so rough as this, and I'd
like Turkish towel on the rack all
the time"
"Well,"
.Thank you. I'm determined not
to be troublesome after once get set
tied, and I-don't you think this
dressing case would lock better on this
side Of the roomf''
81 don't know"
"Seems to me It would. supposing
you call q servant up and let US see
hew 1t will look moved; and while
she's here l believe I'll change the
bed to the other corner--thal is, If
VOu'Vn No Ohipctinna
''Oh, none at all" ..
THANK you. don't really care
much, but then--O, would 1t be too
much trouble to have cup of hot
water sent up 10 my room an hour be-
fore each mealf l think it does me
good"
II suppose l could arrange that"
says the landlady, glooinily.
Thanks; you are kind. Now, I
guess I'll--O, wonder II there is any
hot water in the bath room? I'd Ike
to run In and just wash out few liz
tie things that l never send to the
laundry. And wonder II I'd be much
In the way If / ran down into the
kitchen and ironed them when they're
dryf III not be bit Of trouble"
'The cook may object" says the
SELF"
"oh, I'll get around her easy
enough. Trust me for that. 1 always
do out my handkerchieis and small
pieces wherever l board, and 10,
while l think Of 1t, I'd like to mention
that never drink anything but green
tea, and IL 1t wouldn't be too much
trouble I'd like to have my bread
without bit of salt in IL. Perhaps
it's only notion, but l can't cat sailed
bread"
al hardly know how to manage
that, said the landlady obviously.
30, it'll be easy enough. When
you bake just make one loaf without
any salt in 1t. Seer hope you won't
take bit Of trouble on my account ifI
I'm sometimes too late for my meals.
Sometimes | may be out shopping or
may feel little lazy in the morning
and wont get up, but I'll soon find
out where things are in the pantry,
and will just help myself without
troubling any one"
This strikes the landlady so dumb l
that she can say nothing, and the
obliging boGrder guiltlessly rattles on
II 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 having her lower the window al
little from the topi o, l see the
blankets en- the bed are white. It'sl
only foolish notion of mine, but /
rally prefer red blankets; and see
you have woven wire springs.
Could you Ms well not exchange
them for the spiral springsi Ii
much prefer them and l." But
the landlady. being new in the bust
ness, has gone from the room in al
dazed condition of mind, while the
lady boarder reduces her wants to
writing as they occur to her during the
day.
