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

curt greeting.

minutes after you left. And l really

Helen went out to the kitchen and
looked in the various paper bags the
delivery man had just left.
Here's the salad" taking out a
head OF escarole and one of romaine
"We're very particular about having
the salad kept crisp. AS soon as it
comes, wash it thoroughly and wrap

else.
Now, the potatoes 60 down here.
They didn't send very nice ones, did

Helen opened the dumbwaiter and
took of the brown-paper parcel.
Nora got through the housework
with ease. Plainly she knew how to

Although Helen set the table and

He had not seen Nora until she
brought in the soup. and then he gave
her quick, appraising glance.
! Don't you think she's nice looking
clean and wholesome looking?'
whispered Helen as Nora went back
to the kitchen.

soup a sample of her cooking? Tastes
