Mrs. Newcomb as sweetly as though
she didn't know all about Chinese lily
bulbs. And then Alice, who always
has dozen things she wants to do
on hand, danced off to the kitchen to
make candy.
Mrs. Newcomb didn't happen to
have a glass dish she could spare on
hand, and Alce's allowance for the
week was all gone So she put bulb
on the lowest shen of the pantry and
forgot al about it until Saturday came
round. And then-you'd never guess
what had happened-there was no lily
bulb to plant in the dish!
Where is the bulb Alice placed On
the lowest pantry shelf( Anna?" Mrs.
Newcomb asked the maid when Alice
was all ready to plant it.
Anna, who hadn't been with the fam
lily very long, looked amazed.

Or else he had jury seat when Lawyer
