TUESDAY, JUNE 18, 1940 LITTLE SPITFIRE _—_—— By Jean YESTERDAY: Brenda’s scheme works. Adelaide, wondering why her housekeeping is even worse than usual, agrees to go away for @ rest, and Isobel gladly agrees to run the house. Mac catches on to Brenda’s conniving. Chapter 22 , Home Sweet Home “AT FIRST I thought it was si:n- P Ply to get Adelaide this vaca- tion; she does need a little rest from us, poor old girl!” said Mac “But now you've got her off, something’s worrying you. I sat down in the library hearing you Pace about as long as I could bear it. Want to tell me about it, | Brenda?” | She shook her head. “N-not just yet, Mac, but thank you! It’s! terribly nice of you to realize I Wouldn’t indulge in such fool- ish behavior without—without a urpose. I won’t pace any more. ‘ou’ve taken part of my worry @way already!” She smiled at him and he returned the smile. “That’s good!” Monday morning Brenda lin- gered nervously at the breakf: table, waiting for Isobel to sum mon Grenadine and give her the orders for the day. That Adelaide’s habit. Daily she in- dulged in a monologue which ran something like this: “Well, Grenadine, I suppose we're going to have to eat again today; Dear, dear, I wish some: body would invent a new animal: seems as if all the old ones have m used so many times we're all tired of them. Let’s see. Better start with dirmer, that’s the hard- est. Steak—no, we had steak last night. A roast, then. But I said I Wwouldn’t have roast before Sun- day, Chops? M’m; yes, I guess chops. Tell the butcher to cut them thicker than he did the last ones. And Grenadine, try not to cook|on the grocery bil them till they’re like bits of wood. won't you? “Vegetables. Well, there are al- ‘ways potatoes, thank goodness. Creamed? No, better not creamed. Baked, then . .. What? Oh, dear. oh, dear! Yes, we did have them baked last night with the steak. Grenadine. couldn’t you just for once suggest something?” Amusedly Brenda wondered how long this sort of thing would f° on if an interruption did not invariably put an end to it. Some- times it was the teleohone, some- times it was Miss Ormond who Tose very early and began to crave the society of others soon after breakfast, sometimes it was| Grenadine herself who in a flash| of unusual inspiration suggested a tentative menu. Remembering all this. she sat tenselv waiting for Isobel to sum- mon the cook. But Isobel rose and | started upstairs in the most lei- surely fashion imaginable. “Isobel!” Brenda’s voice was| Paniekv. “Aren't you going to plan/| dinner?” Tsobel gave her a quiet smile | “The meals for three days ahead are planned. and the day’s order was in before you were down- stairs. Grenadine has a typed| menu_with full directions — not that I intend to trust to her judgment in the matter, however! —in the kitchen.” Brenda almost staggered with relief.

Monday was always a hard day for both Mac and Eric They came in a little apprehen- sively that evening. Adelaide had her limitations but after all she was a housekeeper with years of experience behi ner. Eric eyed t anges in the |living room with patent misgiv- ings.

Home was never like this!” Mac’s grateful glance went to Tsobel who had flushed becoming- lv. Erie was loud in his praises of the new regime but it was Mac who showed his avpreciation in tangible wavs. Mac brought Isobel a box of the chocolate pepner- mints of wh she wes fond.
