picture of Peggy thus stirring about
in the kitchen under the all-seeing
maternal eye seems to appeal to Wal
ter as being very comical indeed. I'm
mindful of Peggy's very evident alarm,
he rallies her on her cooking attain
ments, saying something in a yelled
way about a can of beans" Behind
mothers back Peggy is making fran
tic demonstration and waving a sauce
pan aloft in a most threatening man
ner.
Walter is subdued at last and goes
ON mis- way, pausing between the verse
and chorus of his whistling to chuckle
a chuckle or two If he thinks, how
ever, that his innuendo conveyed moth
ing to Peggy's mother he entertains a
arievous misrepresentation. Mrs. Gray,
though holding her counsel, feels t.
u clear light has been thrown on the
state of things during her absence and
in her thoughts she is severely ques-
tioning the veracity of her husband and
son.
And Peggy is also reflecting She
is contemplating the most awful
things she'll do when she gets

Peggy has confessed to mother that
while it is quite true al father and Tom
suggested that she had acquitted her
self with great eclat in the kitchen,
still there were few little things, here
and there, which she felt she had not
completely mastered.
She has very prudently failed to
mention the disastrous incident of
the more than parboiled potatoes. Also
she has shown nice tact in forgetting
the occasion of wiping off the top of
the stove with the dish towel.
Filling the sink with coffee grounds
and boiling the tea in the water were
two more slips That she discreetly left
unmentioned
This morning Peggy and mother are
foregathered in the kitchen with an
eye toward completing Peggy's cul!n-
airy tuition. 1t is a sort of post grad
uate course. wherein Peggy is to be
shown the few remaining finer points
that she may step forth a thoroughly
finished and dependable cook
Peggy has approached this little en-
gagement with q vague uneasiness,
feeling that perhaps in hapless mo-
ment she might commit blunder
that would reveal to mother the ac-
tual extent of her daughters inepti-
tude, In other words, Peggy's position
is much the same as that Of one who
endeavors to dance the High Jinks
successfully without having heard of it
before
All has gone quite well indeed and
mother apparently had not been moved
to the slightest suspicion. when Wal
ter Cowell thrusts his head in the
kitchen door, just as he had the day
when Peggy had the unhappy expert
ence with the boiled potatoes
After the usual hearty greetings
Walter selects a chair unlimited and
his mood being a jocose and flippant
one, he proceeds to indulge in va
riety of mirth provoking remarks The
