looked archly ut the children, who caught
the spirit of his glance and shouted: Eyes,

The tiny newsboy hugged himself and
murmurcd: "Cramb'r.y sauce!r

"And pie-shall it be nine pie or apple

and turned to his left, where sat the little

into the child's face.
"He, 100. had blue eyes" he murmured.

instant his own eyelids closed and he bit
his lip.
When the soup was served-"Wait n

ton that some sort of grace ought to be
asked. Swiftly his thoughts flew back
to the New England home of his boy
hood. He remembered the bowed head of
his mother and the subdued voice of his
gray-haired father asking the divine bless
ing. Oddly enough, he remembered, too,
how he used to kick under the table ut his
brother to make him laugh. Somewhat
unsteadily he rose and leaned heavily up
on the table. A strange giddiness was
creeping upon him which required all his
will to resist.

"Did you ring, sir?' he asked diplomat

The man looked ut the window. He

benediction done, cried out. "Amen!" and
fell to eating their soup with n clatter of
spoon and dish and divers other noises
of the mouth not heard in polite society.
What if some of them put their plates

what if some of them ate with their fin

from :heir neighbours dishes; what if there
arose occasional Outcrics and incipient
riots which the pewildered walters
promptly quelled! In spite of these things
the dinner was n complete success from
the standard of its purpose.
Never were guests more npprcciativcly

dinner progressed his eyes grew dull, and
