She felt too that this time ne had

1t was quite dark now, and Helen
slipped an appealing hand through
Warrens arm, and his arm hung stiffIy

wouldn't get US in so deep at the gro
Gerry that we'd never get out of the
hole again. But I know you, Mrs
JameswOrthy. The coming of visitors
to this house means a carnival of ex-
travagance. The things which are
good enough for your toll worn hus-
band, who bears the heat and burden
Of the day, wouldn't be good enough
for your gangling relatives. If you
would be willing to dish up the same
kind of grub we have on our table
every day I'd tell you to send spe-
clal courier with an invitation to Dor
othy and her husband. And I may say
that the grub referred to is good
enough for anybody.
But you would go to the grocery
store and order everything expensive,
from French peas to domestic shrimps,
and you nave all the bakers and con-
PETITIONERS in town sending their wares
here and you'd want new napkins and
table cloths, and you'd discover at the
last hour that our silver plated knives
and forks aren't fit to be seen, and be-
fore everything was paid for I'd be
going to my office barefooted.
1t was vastly different when I was
young, in the halcyOn days Ny moth

and aunts to visit US, and father never
had to stand over her with a spiked
club warning her not to bankrupt the
family entertaining them. Mother new

jam or something Iikt that, that wasn't
on the table every day, but it was jam
she made herself, with her strong right
arm, Mrs. JamesWorthy. There were
no frantic calls upon the baker or the
grocer. And it is true that we had
chicken dinners when people were Wis
ittns us, but the chickens grew in our
own orchard, and were not ordered
from get rich quick butcher.
The bill of fare was just as mex
pensive as ever when company came
and the guests had to whack up their
victuals with bone handled knives and
forks, and if they didn't like it they
could lump it, for my sainted mother
was IS Independent as hog on ice.
And her policy is the only safe and
sane one, Mrs. JameswOrthy. It is the

in purchasing goods by weight or
measure. The Office will be open every
