"Oh. sure, Miss; 1t won't take me

When Helen sat down at her desk

curt greeting.
"oh, yes. dear: she came a few min
utes after you left And really
think she's going to be wonderful!
She's SO fast-why. she has the front
room, bedroom and library all dona
and now she's washing the dishes I'm

looked In the various paper bags the
delivery man had lust left

head of escarole and one of romaine
l"We're very particular about having

Now, the potatoes go down here.
They didn't send very nice ones, did

you'd better mash them for dinner.
These tomatoes Wen keep until to-

like them stuffed. What's this?" feel

and Helen opened the dumbwaiter
and took off the brown paper parcel
Nora got through the homework
with ease. Plainly she knew how to
clean. BY o'clock she had the whole
shining and had even
washed out the ice-box. But when
she began to get dinner she was
little nervous.
Although Helen set the table and
fixed the salad. still dinner was late,
and Warren was irritated by the ten
minutes wait
He had not seen Nora until she
