"We both run things together and we
it. Improve with age.”
Mary is tliat American rarity, an
V >ld family retainer, and nii'hrttst in
i. >4- lirUi, Many an envious housewife
has sought her services, but she has
i'lwnys resisted their blandishments.
Each week—Just as an extra atten

cakes lo the Robert 111nninga.

with Mrs. Dinning for three yearB,
but she has long served her as seam
