A happier lot of men, women, child

immigrant family was delightful and

dotted with white farm houses and
fishing villages and the slopes Of the
hills covered with trees and green
fields bathed in the beautiful sun

Isabel and 1 were just lamenting
that we didn't have a maid to serve the
luncheon, Gertrude. We were saying

next course to table,"

acquiesced in a disappointed tone. Our

formal we're likely to make the guests
change the plates and bring in the
courses from the kitchen themselves.

thing won't do when we're entertaining
Mrs Caulkington. She's so critical that
her eyes burn holes in anything they
fall on. We wouldn't mind her little
peculiarities if she were merely an ac-
uuaintance. But If Isabel is going to
demand big fat salary she must make
big fat impression. I'm sure Mrs.

she knew how poor we are and how
badly we need that secretaryship.
