been unintelligible to the uniniuated
country girls To-day they had been
so absorbed in the meetings that they
had come TO their MONDAY lunch almost

room almost deserted, but their black
friend was on hand. ready TO serve them
with his usual suavity. AS they ran
over the bill OF fare. he deferentially
suggested one and another dish. which
he recommended TO be particularly good.
And pudding? VIII the ladies have
puddlngg" he asked, placing his finger
upon that item on the bill Of fare.

said. Il feel almost hungry enough TO
begin az the top and order everything
down TO the dessert" she added.

dinner. Adelaide stopped and began TO

a bit provoked. because she saw that
Adelaide had attracted the attention
OF the young man who sat opposite

a member Of the Christian Endeayor
society. and chairman OF the temperance
committee. would eat pudding with
brandy sauce?"
NO. OF course would not. but there
Is no use making a fuss about IL now.
We can just eat a little BIT OF the pud-
ding and let the. sauce alone; or. We
can take Il and let IL alone altogether.
There's no use advertising our peculiar
views before the public
A little red spot burned on either Of
Adelaide cheeks.

going 70 let even that black man VINO
waits on us believe that We approve OF

ing the waiter. who stood some dis
tance away
In a moment he was beside them.

"Addie. ] believe that young man
changed his order because OF what you
said. Jean conhded TO her friend In a
whisper
Very likely he did" Adelaide re-
turned. "and for that reason ! am all
the better satisfied that stood up for
my colors. You know IL always pays

"Oh. yes. I suppose so. Jean re-
turned. but sometimes think you
