Rapidly, Joslyns explained what
she had forgotten to tell IN the

might, in his flight, come to her;
of the glimmering impression

The cause of inferior results
may be found in an Insufficient
caloric value, but they are just
as likely to be due to defects in
the balance of the dietary, to
lack of variety in catering and
cooking, or to faulty service and
arrangement of meals.
The variety and cost of the
dieSaH depend largely on the eff
ficiencv of the catering. The ar
rangements for the buying of food
should allow ruling prices to re
followed as closely as possible,
so that purchases are made to

Many children who come into

an awe-inspiring climax to the pic
turization of the biblical story of the

title of "The Wanderer," began a

the story cling closely to the biblical
descriptions. The pastoral as we'll as
