Little Mrs. PercivalKad always
wondered, in her gentle way, why
Marion, her only child, had
seemed to inherit all the late Mr..
Percivals traits, and none of her
mothers. She had been a rough
and-tumble baby; she had been a
tom-boy little girl. And now, at
twenty, she was affecting a sleek
coiffure, wearing horn-rimmed
glasses and threatening to study
law!
Mrs. Percival had seen to it,
however, that Marion, in spite of
her masculine looks, could cook a
dinner fit for a king. And when
Marion finally tumbled head over
heels in love with a young man
who seemed a bit afraid to fall in
love with her, gentle little Mrs.
Percival armed herself for battle,
and sailed forth.
HOIO the Kitchen Club HELPED
The Kitchen Club was called into
consultation, without being told the
underlying reason for the sudden
activity. Mrs. PercivaPs kitchen was
made a most delightful, most feminine
place description Of it in Nancy's
Marion's young man was invited to
dinner. Mrs. Percival came down with
a convenient headache, and Marion
had to solve the problem of entertain
ing him while she cooked dinner. 1t
wound up with his going to the
kitchen and discovering there a
flushed and fustered, but very house
wifely Marion, that he was not at all
afraid of.
You know the rest-"Here Comes
The Bride" and all that. And the
Kitchen Club never knew that it had
oeen called upon to play Cupid!
