Now, in the first place" he said,
I'VE must have a house. In the sub

on the porch and all that sort OF
thing"
"And little conservatory" she
breathed
And little conservatory" said he.
And pergola, Charles?' she asked,
clasping her hands
"A pergola, of course" said he.
Wont that be beautiful" she
sighed. And signing again she added,
But, Charles! The rent"
No" said he, THE furniture comes
first"

clever you are!"
Yes" said he, "the furniture comes
first; and so | looked over the adver-

and languished.

breathlessly exclaimed

the interruption. What is more sim
pie and what is more nutritious than
an egg?"

and she looked around as though for
an egg to boil
Simple said Charles in a learned
manner, and nutritious. Various. as
well You can boil them-soft or me-
dunn, or hard; you can poach them,
fry them-one side or two: scramble
them; make them into omelettes-
herb omelettes. Spanish ome,ettes,
corned beef omelettes; you can use
them to trim the hash and the spinach
and the salad. Give me an egg!" cried
Charles, making a grand reckoning
gesture for that absent egg, and
defy the world" And after emotion
had spent itself, he shortly added:
