Hutton Cured Waitress Of Her

The late Lawrence Hutton used to
say that having to take little trou-
BILE would impress a fact on anyone's
memory so that he would never be
able to forget it. In illustration he
would tell this story:
"Our waitress. Maggie, could never
remember to put the salt on the table,
and time after time Mrs. Hutton would
remind her to do 1t. One morning it
was absent, as usual. and said, Mag

of wonder on her face.
