Sareh was crying over her bill of fare. Think of a New York girl shedding toara on the menu card!

She was to furnish type-| written bills of fare for the twenty-one | tables in the restaurant—a new bill for | ach day's dinner, and new ones for breakfast and lunch as often as chang: occurred in the food or as neatness re- quired, In return for this Schulenberg was to wend three meals per diem to Sarah's hallroam by a waiter—an obsequious| one, if possible—and furnish her each afternoon with # pencil draft ef what Wate had in store for schulenberg's | customers on the morrow. Mutual satisfaction resulted from the agreement. Schulenbers's patrons now | new what the food they ate was called, | even if its nature sometimes purzied | them. And Sarah had food during a) cold, @ull winter, which was the main thing with her. And then the almanac Med, and said that spring had come. In Raspberry Lane. One afternoon Sarah shivered in her elegant hall bedroom; ‘house heated; scrupulously clean; conveniences; seen to be appreciated.” She had no work to do except Schulenberg’s menu cards. Saran sat in her squeaky willow rocker, and looked out the window. The calendar on the wall kept crying to her: “Springtime is here, Sareb— springtime is here, I tell you. Look at me, Sarah, my figures show ht. You've got a neat figure yourself, Sereh —a—nice springtiine figure—why do you ut the window so sadly?” Sarah's room was at the buck of the house. Looking out the window she could gee the windowless rear brick wall of the box factory on the next street. But the wall was clearest crystal, and Sarah was looking down a grassy lane shaded with oherry trees and elms end porftered with raspberry bushes and Cherokee roses.
