But Mildred welcomed eagerly the
opportunity to entertain with Mrs.

had suggested that Arthur dine

people together as much as possi-
Bile. Since Arthur and Mildred were

II Miss Pearson could have made
the fourth member OF the party,
that would have given Mildred and
Arthur q chaEee to talk together.
When Mildred vetoed this plan,
Honora had caught at the idea of
pleasing Arthur's parents by asking
them to dine with their son in the
Brent home.
Honora was disappointed at Mil.
dred's insistenee that Tom Chand-
Ter make the sixth member Of the

sister. she yielded.
Upon her fell the responsibility
OF arranging the dinner. Katie was
an excellent maid, and well trained
by Hrs. Higgins, so the task was
not as difficult as IL might have
been-especlally as she and Mildred
agreed on most points regarding
the menu.

lively, watching the effect OF her
words on her sister, 'that Tom
Chandler always has wine with his
dinner at home. He probably
thinks most people do"

prompt rejoinder.

supplies for our soldiers fighting in

All farmers now having wheat
which is not needed for seed or for 1
