I CECELIA'S
CAKE
By ETHEL BARRINGTON
Cooyrloht. 1904. tg Ethal Bamastoa
"A departed PMIadelphlan on revisit
tag earth would know at once whether
or not It was Thursday."
"My dear!"
"Thursday la the girl's day ont Tin
rest are merely Interludes."
"I am sorry, Cecilia, that the other
re gone and there Is no one else to
make the cake."
Cecilia regretfully returned her hat to
its box.
"You are not to blame. It's Having
so many daughters"
"Unmarried." sighed Mrs. Carlton.
"I must go with Angela to the tailor's.
It's proTldential, Laurence bringing his
friend, and I hope that Angela or Ma-1
rla"- j
"Or Helen. Grace or Muriel may im
personate Jonah's whale and swal l
low"-
"CectMa, yon are vulgar."
It Is a trial to be a widow with an
only son, but an only son plus six
daughters represents martyrdom. A
choice In matrimony adds zest to court
ship, but too great a surplus destroys
the market. Laurence Carlton, at col
lege, laughed at his mother's anxiety,
but cheerfully offered to bring his chum
home for the vacation and give the girls
a chance.
"It only needs one to set the exam
ple," Mrs. Carlton explained to Ce
cilia, who admitted that Angela must;
be sacrificed In order that her sisters j
"get the habit." But to her brother she
ship."
The proposed visit wss now at bund.
"Muriel and I must lay low. The
full strength of our family girlhood Is
so overflowing," said Cecilia, fastening
loose sleeved apron over her gown.
"Now, little Mother General you may
attend to the dress parade, while I will
bring up the rear with the rations."
After Mrs. Carlton and Angela had
departed Cecilia descended to the kitch
en. She selected her pans and washed
the currants, sliced the citron ready for ;
chopping and sifted the flour, a ml-,
chlevous rhyme tripping over herj
tongue. ' j
" 'Will you walk into my parlor?' i
said the spider to the fly" " j
The door gang rang sharply. Cecilia J
dusted her hand free from the flour and
went through the dining room and the
long ball to the door. There she en
countered an athletic young man bear
ing a dress suit case with an air of
having arrived at his destination.
"Mrs. Carlton at home?" he Inquired.
"No. If you are a book ageut let me
tell you books are not our crying need
Just at present" Aud the dimple
laughed In Cecilia's cheek.
"I'm not a necessity and to such a
household certainly no luxury, yet I am
expected. Sounds like a riddle, doesn't
It? Carieton telegraphed me that he
rould not get here until tomorrow, but
that I was expected."
"We understood you were coming to
gether, but you are none the less wel
come," she added graciously. "That la
the parlor"
'Iff the prettiest little parlor that
ever you did spy," bummed Cecilia to
herself. Then aloud: "Perhaps you
have not read all the magazines. They
cannot be long."
"Long? Tbey"-
"The family," answered the youngest
vaguely.
"But you" Cecilia suddenly real
ized ber apron and the flour and her
mother's horror of the situation. "Ob,
I am baking cake I I am the girl, you
know" Bhe drew herself up, but the
dimple effaced the dignity, and there
was an odd twitching about the young
fellow's mouth.
"1 urn awfully glad. I thought you
might be one of the daughters, and
I'm only the valet"
"Gracious"
"So you see we can be friends after
all. May I watch the cake operation?"
Cecilia sanctioned doubtfully. "You
may sit In the dining room if you In
sist." "I do"-
Ceclila after providing him with a
paper disappeared through the swing
ing door Into the kitchen. Ho sat alone
for a few minutes, then gently swung
the door open. "Ifs cralte chilly In
here," be explained. Cecilia was Ideat
ing eggs, the sunlight tipped her hair
with gold. He sank Into a cbalr, watch
ing her.
"Do you like cake?" she demanded.
"I adore sweet things." The look,
half smiling, wholly admiring, sent the
color tingling to the girl's cheek, but
she only whipped the eggs the harder.
"That looks easy. I'd like to try," he
said tentatively.
"Froth appeals to you. I knew It
would."
"Come, now, you know the saying
about 'Idle hands.' You had bettor put
me to work." he insisted. She lnughed,
but Intrusted him with the chopping
bowl, and he went to work spas
modically upon the citron, Cecilia hav
ing first tied an apron about his waist.
"You make an idea) chef," she in
formed him, "if you only had a rap."
"I wouldn't want to hide your curls."
His tone was aggrieved.
"When may we expect your master?"
"My master? Ohob, yes Ashton!
He'll be along about supper time, I
Judge."
"Teil me about him and why does he
have a valet. It's rather silly for a
student."
"Not nt nil." he assured her airily.
"It's very uscrul-sometlmea."
"I've heard he la handsome, rich and
a great catch."
The valet was manifestly embarrass
ed for his master. "You shouldn't be
llcve all you bear. Now, I understand
that Laurence oh, yes, I call bliu so
Just to tuysolf-has sisters f
"Heaps. Five, and -one more." ac
knowledged Cecilia as she commenced
mixing the cake.
"What is "one more' like?" be asked,
with Interest.
"The youngest and the worst," she
confessed, splashing the eggs reckless
ly. The valet retreated to a ssfo dis
tance, "It looks an awful mesa. Is that the
way they make wedding cake?"
"Wedding cake! What has that to
do with the subject V
"Nothing. It Just came Into nry
head."
"Then put It out Poor men cannot
afford extravagance, and wedding cake
la a never ending expense. Mr. Ash
ton should henr you."
"I am following bis example, I know
he Is going to make desperate love to
one of the daughters."
Cecilia tested the oven. It must have
been hot, for her cheeks were ml as
she returned to the table.
"He Is not scared by numbers?" she
asked, with discreetly lowered eye.
"No, because he concentrates. He
will see only one." Cecilia was silent.
It was quit a trick, turning the mix
ture Into the pan. She went to the
dresser for a larger spoon. Her guest
began digging at the cake. "Don't!
You will spoil it:" she warned him.
"Sometimes there Is a prize In cake.
How Jolly If there Is In this:"
Cecilia smiled loftily. "They put them
In for children."
"And for welding cake. Now, let me
hoist this particularly wonderful dough
Into the oven."
"To be light is all 1 ask of It." said
Cecilia, opening the oven for him.
"Light means Illumination, so I hope
your slice may show you a thing or
two."
Before Cecilia could answer the bell
sounded. She closed the stove with a
bang. A sleeping conscience awoke.
They had all agreed that Angela was
to have first chance.
"You should have remained In the
parlor," she protested.
"It would have been safer," he ad
mitted. Then they both laughed like
two conspirators. The bell rang again.
Still laughing, they icd through the
bouse, he to the magazines, she to ad
mit her mother and Angela.
"Mr. Ashtoti lias arrived, and the
cake is In the oven."
"I am still hungry," said Cecilia, eye
ing the last portion of cake. The rest
of the family ha.l retired to dress for
the thcatvr. duly Cecilia and Ashton
remained at the table.
"Eat It!" suggested Ashton, pushing
the dish temptingly toward her.
"Consider the fate concealed In the
last bit" she hesitated.
"Sharing It may break the penalty."
So recklessly they took the cake be
tween them and broke It. There fell
almost Into Cecilia's lap a golden ring!
"A prophesy !" cried Ashton. "I knew
It was a wedding cake."
CexHlla, all dimples and embarrat
ment, at length found voice;
"I think the valet was overbold"
"It was to help his master. Bemcxa
ber, that's his business. He know I
am lonely and shall soon need"
"A cook."
"Something more, a little girl to love
and be loved. The Germans call her
ha us frao."
