curious mixture of amazement, alarm
and dignity. No doubt we did look
queer, still in parts of our evening

went downstairs despondently,
and found that Mr.. HARRISON had dis
covered some eggs and was standing
helplessly staring at them.
"Omelet - eggs. Eggs omelet.
That's the extent of my knowledge"
he said. when l entered. You'll have
to come to my assistance"
1t was then that / saw the cook
book. 1t was lying on a shelf beside
the clock, and while Mr. HARRISON had
his back turned got it down. 1t was
quite clear that the domestic type of
woman was his ideal. and I did not
care to outrage his belief in me. SO
took the cook book into the pantry
and read the recipe over three times.
When l came back knew 1t by heart,
although I did not understand it.
Il will tell you how" l said with
great deal of dignity, land since you
want to help, you may make it your

He was delighted

It slowly, bit by bit Well make

Well" said, trying to remember
exactly, you take two eggs"
'Twos" he repeated. 1.-TWO eggs for
ten people!"
Don't Interrupt me-" I said irrita-
bly, Tiff two isn't enough we can
make several omelets, one after the
other"
He looked at me with admiration.
Who else but you would have
thought of thati he remarked. We'll.
here are two eggs. What next?"
Separate them," I said easily. No..
| didn't know what 1t meant / hoped
he would; l said IL as casually as I
could, and l did not look at him. I
knew he was staring at me, puzzled.
Separate them!" he said. ''Why,
they aren't fastened Sogetherl" Then
he laughed. "Oh, yes, of course!"
When / looked he had put one at each
end of the table Afraid they'll quar-.
rel, / suppose" he said. well, now
they're separated"
Then beat"
First separate, then beati" he re-
peated. The author. of that cook
book must have had mean dispos!-
ton. What's next? Hang them?" He
looked up at me with his boyish
smile.
Separate and beat" repeated. If
4 lost a word Of that recipe I was
gone. It was like saying the alphabet:
had to go to the beginning every
time, mentally.
Well" he reflected, "you can't beat
an egg, no matter how cruel you may
be, unless you break It first" He
picked up an egg and looked at It.
Separated he reflected. "Ah-the
white from the-whatever you cook
ing experts call 1.-THE yellow part"
Exactly" l exclaimed, light break
ing on me. "Of course, r knew you
would find out" Then back to the re-
cipe-"beat until well mixed; then
fold in the whites"
"Fold?" he questioned. TT looks
pretty thin to fold, doesn't 1t? T.

around the circle of faces. each one
frozen with amazement, and just a
suspicion, perhaps, of incredulity.
Its particularly unfortunate for her.
You all know how high-strung she is,
and If the papers should get hold of it
we'll, Wen all have to make 1t as

With Jim's eye on them, they all
