got up yesterday morning to see
about the breakfast.
How much coffee do you put in
the percolator, Annie?" 1 asked.
"Oh, a handful or two, Miss Mar
garet," she said with her ever ready
smile.
Don't you measure it, Annie?"
why should l be taking all that
trouble for SO silly thing as a pot Of
coffee?"
There it is! Something so many
of us women never learn-that every
thing makes work or trouble, as An
ME calls it-even a pot of coffee.
Poor Annie! She did not know the
difference between good coffee and
bad coffee. 1t was a hot drink to}her
and nothing more.
told her that it was necessary not
only to measure the coffee but the
water and then demonstrated by
crisp bacon, amber coffee and deli
cately Drowned toast that simple
breakfast could be most appetizing.
Il did not know you could COOK,
Margie," said Dick as he asked for a
second cup of coffee.
81 can't, but 1 am going to learn.
My mother used to say that no wO-
man should keep house who did not
know how to cook and if had not
been so busy teaching school should
have learned to do so before this. AS
it is, Dick dear, you'll have to put up
with many poor meal, am afraid.
At least you will have to put up with
very simple food until 1 know how to
cook the more elaborate Dishes"

crate eats, my girl. Well get our

"Of course you can, Aunt Mary,
and Madge you can also go over and
ask mother when you want to know
how to make some things"
Have you any mothers dish that
you are particularly fond of Dick?"
1 asked. Dick hesitated while
though the of the ill-cooked and bad
ly served meals had tried to eat at
his house, and decided was a 'cat''
to ask him such a question.
"Well, you see, Margie, I can't
think of anything just now, but 1
probably will, he added Loyalty.
Tonight" whispered as 1 kissed
him goodbye, we're going to have
a beefsteak."
''You can't broil one like they do

Surely there is nothing so very

pend upon myself.

Here you are, Dick dear, with the
dinner you like best and which am
going to serve to you better than you
can get anywhere else.
1 don't mind telling you a dead

two steaks, so if 1 spoil one l can try
another-and 1 am more afraid of
