"Not to own." she explained, "Just to

"Wf'd have to have n girl, dear,"
said Orde. "and we can't even afford
that yet."
"A girl!" sho cried Indignantly.
"You couldn't do the housework and
the cooking." said Orde. "You've nev.

I won't have my little girl slaving."
"It won't be slaving; It will be fun.
Just like playing housekeeping," pro
tested Carroll. "And I've got to learn
some time. 1 was brought up most
absurdly, and I realize It now."
"YV'o'll see." said Orde vaguely.
Later Carroll brought the subject up
again, armed with sheets of paper
covered with figures showing how
much cheaper It would bo to keep

"You certnlnly make out n strong

you buy a rooster and a hen nnd she

"Stop. stop!" cried Carroll, covering

"All right." agreed Orde opiahly.
"but that's the way It figures. Funny

Two days later Orde took her one
