WOES or THE LANDLADY.
One Of Them Is That Of Serving Out
the Portions to Suit.

the Portions to Suit.
'Trouble" said the landlady.
"Why, people that never kept a
boarding house don't know what
trouble is.
'oro say nothing of the incessant
daily, weekly, monthly, year in and
year out, never let up grind of it,
there's a million little things that
you have to keep looking out for all
the time or you are sure to get into
more trouble, and one of these is
the serving of the portions for the
boarders at table. 49,
Zone person wants fat meat, and
one wants lean, and one wants his
meat we'll done, and another likes it
rare, and you not only have to re-
member all these things and keep
doing them right all the time,
though you may be doing forty 9TH
er things at the same time, but even
when you've remembered them all
yourself and got them all straight
you have to take the chances of the
waitress putting them on the table
right, before the right people, and
then when you come to take into
account how difficult it is when the
meat doesn't turn out all right for
you, how hard it is then to cut lean
meat out of fat and fat meat out
of lean, why, it's enough to turn
anybody's hair gray.
'But, after all, the chief trouble
is with chicken. Everybody wants
white meat, and YOU know there's
only certain amount of white meat
in any chicken, but everybody wants
that, and nobody wants legs-par-
ticularly they don't want legs. But
what are you going to do about it?
Somebody has got to have the
legs, and on chicken days / always
have great problem before me. |

legs and who won't, and then, be-
sides, when we have chicken / al
ways try to distribute the legs
around on the different tables, scat

to be too many legs, so that it won't
seem, YOU know, as if everybody
was getting legst but, for all nv care
in this, in this very house on chicken
day last week had a fearful calam-
ity befall me.
