stood a small table on which was a
vase of red -and -white roses, and
dishes of very tempting food. She
took up the saucer containing a half -
orange and looked in bewilderment at
the well -buttered toaat, eggs and coffee.

"I simply can't see how you manage
to do all this. Ina," with a signifi-
cant gesture toward the table.
The sister smiled sweetly. "Don't
