He rolled up his sleeves, found a

the door, and tied 1t around his neck
with the ease of practise. Then he
cleared off the plates, eating what

we were very cheerful! And that aw-

began to hum, and Aunt Selma sent
down word that she was not well, and
would like some omelet on her tray.
Omelet.
I knew that 1t was made of eggs,
but that was the extent of my knowl-
edge. | muttered an excuse and ran
upstairs to Anne, but she was still
shifting over her necklace, and said
she didn't know anything about
omelets and didn't care. Food wosld

girls knew either, and Bella, who was
still reading in the den, absolutely de-
clined to help.

hastily. "The simplest thing, If you

and found that Mr. HARRISON had dis
covered some eggs and was standing
helplessly staring at them.
"Omelet - eggs. Eggs - omelet.

1t was then that I saw the cook

the clock, and while Mr.. HARRISON had
his back turned l got 1t down. 1t was
quite clear that the domestic type of

and read the recipe over three times.
