The Kalispell bee. [volume] (Kalispell, Mont.) 1900-192?, 1902-03-29

win show the giver's mind Does
that mean that the egg is not more
than half baked?'
1T isn't baked at all; it's boiled" he
answered testify.
water, Does it follow that you are
likely to get into hot water too?''
II trust not" he replied fervently.
"But, say, this cake of yours is simply
delicious"
II suppose when l eat this egg I'll
have to compliment it too. But, come
to think of it, an egg is something that
one should always take with grain
of salt'
''Not this one" he said eagerly. This
is an especial egg"
"Well, I'll have it for breakfast and
see if it is gold all the way through"
"Oh, it is better than goldr'
Better! And it is going to show
your mind. so the poem says. Dear,
dear, l never thought you had such a
wonderful mindr'
"Now you are purposely misunder-
standing me-"
ION the contrary, l am not under
standing you at ALL"
81 wish could make you under
stand me, Miss Hartley
why, do you find me so stupid that
/ can't understands
mo; simply find you too clever to
let me see whether you understand or
not. But don't save the egg for break
fast. Perhaps you wouldn't care to
open 1t at the table with the chill
dren."
"Why shouldn't l care to open a
golden egg if it's real gold? / am
afraid it is only platedr' she exclaim-
ed, noticing spot where the gold leaf
was rubbing loose.
Il wish you would open it now" said
Harry.
His persistence was just exactly
what would naturally keep May from
opening the egg to please him, but it
must be admitted that her curiosity
was very thoroughly aroused. Besides,
he somehow seemed different from
what he used to be before going to the
city, and she was beginning to feel
misgiving that she might tease him
altogether too much. Finally she de-
cided that she would satisfy him and
her own curiosity by opening the Eas-
ter egg. Taking the cake knife in her
hand, she took one more critical look
at the egg and then exclaimed:
ooh, / wish you had put the poetry
at the other end of the egg, for |
would like to save this wonderful shell!
But now I'll have to spoil the verses
while opening it."
"Why, no." he protested. Il put the
verses near the big end so that you
wouldn't have to spoil them"
"But how could l open the egg with
out spelling them?"
by opening it at the little end as
everybody else does"
Eat the little end! l never opened
an egg at the little end in my life"
"Well, it isn't too late for you to be-
gin now"
1T is entirely too late when know
better. Everybody knows that the
big end is the only end to open an egg
at. If you open that end, you have
room to get your spoon in"
spoon nonsense. You would think
that one ate eggs with a tablespoon tc
hear you talk"
swell, one would think you had new,
err eaten eggs at all' she retorted
when you don't know which end tc
open"
But do know at which end to oper
them, and that is why | fixed that one
as did. My alother taught me as @
child to open my egg at the little end
and have never forgotten it,"
eff it had been sensible, you would
have forgotten it, but | want you tc
know that my mother taught me tc
open them at the big end. and it just
makes me sick to see any one open an
egg at the little end. That's the enc
that the yolk is in, and you are always
in danger of cutting too deep and
mussing things up"
MY" he said, with an attempt al
being sarcastic. "How well you know
the anatomy of an egg
well" she answered holly, Il know
the anatomy of eggs SO well that have
no further desire to investigate the con
tents of this one, even if it does show
the giver's mind" And she replaced il
OH the table.
"Oh, well. I'm sure I'll not insist
