Jim's Job has not quite reached the
point yet where he can afford
after-theater suppers, and the other
night, when we struck our little
house, l just gave him = surprise.
Before we went out I had made
some cheese sandwiches, with both
the bread and the cheese cut thin.
They would have been good, any
way, because I had favored the
cheese with . few drops Of Al
Sauce, and you know what that
means. Il isn't q Worcestershire,

them cold, toasted them under tho
hot flame, turning them often, 90
that the cheese melted and ran
down into the bread. Jim had four.
and would have eaten mine, too,
but he Is still a polite husband.
There ID. .something about that Al
Sauce which makes q kitchen place
