Dinner at the Mableys was a nova
BILE feast. Sometimes they had II at
8 o'clock, sometimes at 80 and some
times not at all unless they went to
the restaurant around the corner and
had it there.
This irregularity in dining was not
due to an aversion on the part of the
Mableys to methodical habits. On the
contrary they are the most systematic
people alive, and would have preferred
to dine promptly every evening at
O'Clock. For many years, however. the
accomplishment of that desire had
been prevented by the vagaries of
their long succession of cooks. One
evening when Mr.. Mabley came home
at $3.50 and found that dinner had been
stone cold for more than an hour he
dismissed the present incumbent of
the Kitchen, and early the next morn
ing went around to the employment
agency and hired new girl. That
girls name was Mary Barker. Mr..

wages of 81 week, and IT, at the end

and properly served, will give you

Then he wrote out contract in
which 1t was specified that If, in one
single instance, Mary Barker failed to
nave an appetlzing dinner ready for
the Mableys to sit down to at 7 D. m.
she should be forthwith dismissed.

witnesses.
