His sbHence gave me an idea. I was quick to voice it. I forthwith invited every clerk in the place to dine with me that night at the club, and to celei)rate my de- parture from KnoUes & Son's in a banquet so notable that, henceforth, time would be dated from that hour. There was unanimous acceptance. I called up the club steward, gave elab- orate orders, and then proceeded to PART II. jtion under one thousand two hun As I handed in the order and re-UoJl«" .^ w^ek!" ceived the little sheaf of varicolored I "Jâ€" '' '^"'^ "«« ^o make fun of our bilLs that to-day represented so little to me, a stout man at ray elbow ob- served : , , i clean out my desk, 'i'"^"* As I was lea Worr^n's Sphere hero on offlco busi- .SUl'PMES FOR ENTERTAINING. In entertaining large companies one i»- frequently at a loss to know just how much to provide in the mat- ter of refreshments, an uncertainty productive of much waste, as a rule, for the tendency is to have an over- supply raihcr than run short at the last moment. The high cost of every- thing is forcing us to be economical even in our hospitality. In catering for fifty persons the following will be a reasonablfi amount to provide: One and u half pounds of coflfee, three pounds of loaf sugar, three pints of cream, three quart molds of jelly, flvs loaf cakes, two quarts of olives or pickles, throe pounds of salted nuts, two and a half gallons of ice cream or eipht quart bricks. - Chicken sulud for the same number will require twelve pounds of chicken, fifteen heads of celery and one quart cf mayonnaiso. Nine pints of oysters will make sufficient scalloped oysters. Ices not being served in large portions two K»'Ions will be quite enough. If layer cakes are substituted for the loaf cakes, three nijjdium-sizcd ones should be supplied. For two kinds of sandwiches, about ten loaves of bread are necessary, the regular corrugated sandwich loaf being pre- ferable, and two and a half pounds of butter. Eight pounds of sliced boiled ham will make fifty sandwiches, or one quart of chopped meat will go as far. Have the bread a day old and, to facilitate matters, slightly melt the butter and apply it with a pastry brush before cutting each slice. Put the coflTce in clean salt bags to save straining, but be careful to fill them only half full, to allow room for swell- ing, and tie or sew the edges together. To make an orange punch for fifty guests, use the juice of fifteen lemon3, four and a half tlozcn oranges, seven pounds of sugar, twenty-five pounds of craclwd ice and one quart of cherries. A delicious chocolate for a large crowd is made as follows: Mix to- gether two cupfuls of sugar, one- quarter teaspoon ful of salt, eight level tablespoonfuls of cornstarch and six- teen ounces of cocoa or chocolate. Stir to a paste with four pint cans of evaporated milk and pour over it four quarts of boiling water. Stir until it begins to thicken, then cover and al- low to simmer for ten minutes. To make one quart of boiled mayon- naise, v^hich i.s the best kind to serve for a mixed gathering, as many per- sons dislike an oil dressing, but almost everybofly likes mayonnaise, heat one and one-quarter pints of weakened vinegar in granite pan, add one heap- ing tahlespoonful of butter and bring the mixture to the boiling point. In the meantime, beat together the yolks of six eggs, a half leaspoonful of dry mustard, one tablespoonful of sugar, a half teaspoonf ul of salt, a saltspoon- ful of pepper and a dash of red pep- per. Over this slowly pour the hot vinegar, stirring until thick. and kitchen sink and the range res- ervoir. 3. A largo kitchen cupboard, eight feet long and as high as the room. This cupboard is made in two parts with a space of eighteen inches be- tween. The lower cupboard is ten inches v/ider than the upper one, mak- ing a large convenient shelf for set- ting things, this shelf being covered with aluminum. The lower part is fitted with a covered tin bread box, above which is a bread board which pushes in when not in use. 4. An enameled sink, seventy-two inches in length, with front apron, high back, and two drain boards, all cast in one piece. Thif; sink ')as fau- cets for warm and cold soft water and lor cold h:ud water. It has taken many years to nocom- p.ish all of this, as we are in very moderate circumstances, but ple-i.'io do not talk to me about stingy husbands. â€" M. W. II.

I do not like this sjiirit of antagon- ism so often exhibited when the ques- tion of hoiiseliold lonvenicnces comes up, Fo much stress being laid on the man's abundant supply of tools, etc. I find very often the wife is slow to put in improvements when she her- self ha^ the money. A ' hearty co- operation between husband and wife is the better way. I have never yet been obliged to ask for any kitchen convrnionce. Our house ia equipped with: 1. Electricity. We hai-e a power waslifi-, iron, and vacuum cleaner, iight.": in nil rooms, including closets and dark corners. 2. Two elwtric water systems, one for hard water, and one for soft. These .systonLs have no storage tanks (except the cistern for soft water), and wore installed by my husband hin).';(!lf, thus saving much expense. The hai'.l water is piped to tho kit- chen sink and the bath room, hesidp* three out^ddor hydrant.1 for sprinkl- irig lawns and cleaning porches and window.s. It is also piped to the hen house and barn. The soft water, hot and cold, is piped to tho bath room 4673. This model is good for tho new figured silks and printed cottons.

If we press every seam on coats and dre.sses as our work progresses, and then give a final pressing when a gai- ' nient is finished, our work will take I on a professional look that can hardly be secured in any other way. "Are you up ness, Clough?" There was cold reproof in th« tones. I turned to confront "Son" â€" as we clerks disrespectfully alluded to the junior partner of "KnoUes & Son" â€" whom we all cordially detested. He tried always to be a martinet, and succeeded in being only a fussy petty tyrant. "No, Mr. KnoUes," I rejoined calm- ly, ami without a trace of the humble respect he loved to enforce from us; "I am here on my own business." "In office hours?" he rasped. "Precisely," I agreed, with a pleas- ant smile. "I shall drop in at the office for a few minutes later in the day, but I am going to loaf this morning." Had a lisping kindergarten child hurled a bomb at him, "Son" could not have shown more genuine and choleric amaze. "Don't lose your temper," I adjured coolly. "With n thick neck like yours, temper is liable to lead to apoplexy." "What â€" what does this impertin- ence â€" this â€" this â€" this absence from i your duties â€" what does it mean? I demand to knov/. Are you drunk or â€" " "I'm a millionaire," I retorted very quietly. "I do not care for flippancy," he re- buked, when ho could catch his breath.

Then I sat back in the taxi and tried to look like a plutocrat as we sped Harlemward. My cargo and I were soon ushered into the dainty little drawing-room of a West Side apartment and I was fac- ing the wondering, delighted eyes of the one girl.

If I had limped up to the door with mud-splashed clothes, every one I know would have been lounging just outside. As I whirled up in a taxi not a soul, of course, was in sight. I wandered into the clerk's room, hat on head, cigar in mouth. Five minutes later my news was out. I was a hero. My hand was wrung so often, so hard, so frantically, that my arm was numb to the shoulder. It well-nigh brought a lump to my throat to see how honestly glad the whole crowd seemed to be. Not one, apparently, grudged me my good luckâ€" not one cringed or toadied.
