gether, my dear.
Marion was surprised to find the
house almost barren Of feminine
touches in the way Of pillows, fancy
work, and pictures. The rooms were
furnished in the plainest furniture,
guiltless Of anything that could catch
dust. Dinner was served soon after
her arrival, and she was much afraid
her hostess would discover that her
plate was wet and not over clean.
However, rms. Randolph chatted and
laughed as she urged the young girl

81 suppose you will find the house
rather bare" said Mrs. Randolph, "but
you will soon learn to like living in
this simple way. My mother was
great housekeeper used to despise
housework, and l made up my mind
that, If ever had a home, the work
should be simplified as much as posi-
bic. / have no draperies, and our
food is plain and wholesome. / want
to show you some labor savers in the

and Marion no longer wondered at

This saves ell the work Of wiping

had dish-towel in the house for

IT'S a good place, and I'm getting
along well in my studies, but can't
stand the endless round Of canned
meats and vegetables" sighed Marion.
II should be glad to wash the dishes
myself, If she'd only let me. l am
starved for some good roast beef and

and that means drudgery. II shed

we'd get along all right. or, if you
could persuade her that opening cans

At the end Of a year Marion had q
good position offered her in a home
school. The family noticed that she
seemed to enjoy helping. To a ques
ton about her ancient enemy from
Jay, Marion gave a reply that aston
