He looked at her in amazement, and reflected that she had doubtless been employed in some capacity that had made her acquainted with luncheon menus.

"And what kind of cheese, please?"
I haven't got as much as you boys, though." "Shouldn't think you would have," said Gus sympathizingly. "You don't earn so much, and yet you pay ma as much, and don't take out nuthin' fer your noon meal. And you give Co things." "I've earned quite a bit," replied Amarilly cheerfully. "Besides what Mr.
"I'll pawn my ticker at noon," promised the Boarder, "and bring home something for dinner." "There is lots of folks as goes without breakfast allers, from choice," informed Amarilly. "Miss Vail, the teacher at the Guild, says it's hygeniack." "It won't hurt us and the boys," said Mrs. Jenkins, "but Iry and Co is too young to go hungry even if it be hygeniack."
"I'd rather be unhappy and stick to what I said. I must have my own way, Amarilly." "Well," said Amarilly, abandoning an apparently hopeless subject, "I came to ask you to do me us the Boarder and Lily Rose, I mean, a favor." "What is it, Amarilly?" "Why, as I said, they want Mr. St.
By the way, I am to meet her to-night at a dinner, and I think we shall have a mutual subject for conversation. I must get to work, now. Clear away the dishes.

You are to go from here now every day after luncheon to this address," handing her a card.
Take off your apron and cap. You won't have to fix your hair this time. It's even more beautiful than it was then. Your frock, if it is cheap and plain, is artistic in cut and color."

"Yes; I wanter pay. I'll tell you what, Amarilly, couldn't you take it out in gum? I hed a hull lot left over when the theayter shut down. It'll git stale ef I keep it much longer, and I'd like to git some of it offen my hands." "Sure, I will, Pete. We all like gum, and we can't afford to buy it very often. That'll be dandy."
"There shall be one," declared the Boarder firmly. "Couldn't you make it a bay?" again coaxed Amarilly, "It's on the side the sun comes in most, and the doctor said Lily Rose should get all the sunlight she could.
