desire OF old Mr.. Canleloupe. smother Of
her customers, There are plants in the
windows, and on cold days a swapping
wood fire; It IS a pleasant place. The
club pet her good deal and are very
good 70 her, but they keep her existence
q profound secret, only now and then
letting IN some eminent stranger from
out Of town, as great favor, to eat such
lunch as, they truly say. cannot be
found anywhere else in the city. Berry
orders everything. The only restriction
upon her freedom is the rule that the
same thing Is not to be sent in oftener
than once in i've DAYS. There are two
hearty dishes always, with = sweet Of
some sort to follow and such brown
bread, and bread, and mullins as are not
10 be had anywhere else. Sometimes It
is chowder; sometimes frieasseed chick
en-. or baked fish with sayOry stufiing
OF grandmOthsr's hash, or fried liver and
bacon. which no one in the world, save
Berry. has the secret Of doing in exact
perfection; but always. Whatever il Is, it
is perfect Of its kind
And Berry has wonderful knzck for
remembering and suiting the individual
tastes Of her @old gentlemen as she calls
them. Her Indian puddings and fred
mush are a perpetual astonishment TO
them; her pumpkinpies and Marloo-
rough tarts. the ideals about which they
talk among themselves to the discom-
fture of their several chiefs ard high
priced caterers
Once Berry proposed to them that she
should take some lessons and learn new
dishes.
They say croquettes are good she
urged. sAnd there's something called
roLlsueufthat folks seem 70 Ike
Her list was cut short bya groan Of
disapprobation from the company.
@My dear-eroquettes and rol aR EeHts
are exactly what We came here 10 escape
from" cried old Csuleloupe. ~For hesv-
ems sake stay as you are. If you once
learn those French messes you are a ruin
ed woman"
So Berry stayed as she was, and pets
and comforts her old millionaires-of
whom she does not stand in the least in
awe-according to the old-fAshioned mod
els. Mr.. JOY Rollins is, perhaps her
special avorite. He's 50 nice and
kind" she tells jim And though this Is
not exactly the estimate IN which that
eminent 6nancier IS held in Wall street,
he really Is 50 10 Berry. He invests her
little savings for her in wonderful Ways
50 that they double and redOul.e in no
time, and her balance in bank Is rolling
up into respectable sum Meanwhile,
she has her evenings free and with jim
for an escort. can see and do all manner
Of pleasant things equally unknown and
impossible to the dEellers in Pot Haven
The ~old gentlemen have pleasant
habit Of leaving concert and theatre tick-
cts on the table for her use.
isn't it just like what the Bible says
about entertaining angels unaware p she
tells jim THAT snow storm didn't
amount 70 anything, it was melted in two
days, and yet all this has come Of IL
~Hun !" muttered Jim. Pretty fine
angels they are, guess"
Jim has learned thing or Two. you
see during his training in the employ Of
the RC. & Y. r. r. Company. But
angels is SIS angels does Berry truly
holds, and Jim's disclaimers count for
nothing with her.-Ladi.s' II one Journal
