This gave Winnie a chance to gratify
her curiosity, which, regardless of her iu

“Tell me, auntie,” she asked, “why

“Hush, nty child,” said Mrs. Grantley.
“Why, don’t you know? Sb« is liable to

After this explanation Winnie retired to
a corner and pondered. Nor did she emerge
therefrom until the guest aroused with a
start and forthwith talked vociferously,
as if continuing an animated couversu

side aud attended upon her with eurpris

did not make such responses as this con

cooked food and a variety in food are
three necessary adjuncts to gastronomic

By variety is not meant here all the

our former profusion. The question is
merely one of change. If we breakfast
upon croquettes today, the chief piece da

should be as far as possible removed from
