paint the place-cards, too—I've dose
it many a time. And I could wait on
she table. Bat I couldn't cook even an
oyster."
"Ob, place-cards!' said the little
woman, her eyes brightening. She
1 caught at the word as though she had
described a new star in the firmament.
"I wish I could have them. They cost
so much to buy. 1 might have my
washerwoman come and help with the
cooking. She cooks pretty well, and I
could help her beforehand, but she
couldn’t wait on table, to save her
life. I wonder if you know much about
menus. Could you help me fix out the
courses and say wbat you think I
ought to have, or don’t yon know
about that? You see, I have this very
particular company coming, and I
! want to have things nice. I don’t
know them very well. My husband
has business relations with them and
wants them Invited, and of ail times
for Betty to leave this was the worst!"
She had unconsciously fallen into a
tone of equality with the strange girt.
"I should like to help you," said the
girl, "but I must find somewhere to
stay before night, and If I find a place
I must take It. I just came to the
city this morning, and have nowhere
to stay overnight.’’
