"Well, Mary Anin Winters! If I'm
not glad to see you. Come right in
and take off your things, this minute.
Stow did11 you happeni to get away so
early? I was going to phone you the
iext thing I did, after I'(l counted the
glasses, to see, how ilanly are still with
us." A Al... N lliott drew her guest
into her iooim to lay .;ide her wreaps,
so that the two m ight e all rcady to

topic of pltianning the Christmas dini

onl the fat that she had washed her
hall two days before ai( it just wouldi
act so mean11.
"I o-evr(!," she sin illed, "'that'
neither here nor there. Tlli me how
mnny glasses did yo)u fin(d?"'
Ilere are still six of my good ones
in the chin a closet, and the rest I

Ms. EIlliott and Mari'y Ann started
armii inl arm1 for the dining room, Mary
Ann remlarking that to start planning
a diInner one Ieally had to have a

"Oh, 'I don't have to bother with
that," replied Mis. 'Elliott, opening her
desk and finding a slip of paper. She
waved It at 'Mary Ann.
"See this! This is Janie's cont4.
bution. She said, 'now, Imothei dear,
there Is one thing I can do, so please
let me. I can work out the mehu for

even if I .vn't have time to help nmuch01
with the baking and that part." She
' I she' wanted a perfectly simple,
old-fashioned dinner that wouldn't be
too awfully much work to prepare, so
that we would enjoy It, too, and not
be all win out getting it. I told her
you would be over soon, so she made
us a rough outline, last night. You

we -A.Ill have oyster' or grape fruit

Mary Ann. "Let's get them right down
and arrange them on the table. They
v:III have to be washed anyway."
"Wait a minute," replied Mirs. Ei
liott. "I'i getting out the long tamte
cloth. Did you notice I have put
tlrvee leaves In the table? Old deat'
(patting he folded cloth), you have
not been out since last Christmas, have

Ilin sure it is cool enough. They can't
have been sealed carefully."
'i's. Elliott's hands were busy as
she went on talking, and Mary Ann
exclailed with( delight. whlen she
shook out a lovely Madiera center
piece.
"Oh,'' she prot es ted. "'don't use
that. You rellemn bei' we had our mini1d
:l set on holly hea ld about a little
tree for the center of the table, and
that pretty thiig might got stained.
Do put it away. And before you for
:zet it, 'what about oyster' forks, and it
I use tlhes;e bread and butter ':'lates
inunder the cocktail glasses, what shall
we do for' rl'ead and 1)buttei's?''
Mirs. Elliott laughted her' jolly, In
fectious laugh. "Aren't we having
the best time " she said, "just fussing
and a planning over .this precIous din
ner'? There, I'll set your minds at rest
at once. .lotileri Elliott is coming
over tonorrow, with the lend of her
oyster forks, and Jane is stopping to
0der' a dozenl new tea plates oil hei'
way home this evening. So that's that"
"So it is," said Mary Ann, "and next
comos the soul). Afar off, I can view
the Soup plates, all neatly but firmly
stacked on the middle dlstance of tile
sideboard. Now let us concern our
SCIves over the r'esting place of the
dear' old turkey, ils very self, If it Isn't
good English."
"There's the platter on the plito
r'aIl. It only comes down o-- state oc
casions," smiled Mi.s. El liott. who by
this time 'was sorting out the flat sil
ver. "Rellemllbei' it's heavy--ther..
Now it's down."
Mary Ann deposited it with care on
the table and announced that she w\as
going to select jam dishes, that being
a coliectiive term, she explained, mean
lng inlekle dish, celery and olive dish,
cr'aniberry jelly (dish not to melntlin

Mr's. Elliott looked up froml her si
ver., "A dhozenl and( a half forks is all
v'ery well,' she said, "for' our usual
family of four', but w~hat with a saladl
and~ a pie course, I really shall have
to accept the loan of your nIce, ne0w
Mary Ann's eyes tinikled. "What

bag foi'? To draw forthi knitting from
its depths? Nay, nay, dlear' frIend. I
just put those same forks In it early

r'eplied a'rs, 'Elliott, kissing her', and
reac'hinig thle next minute foi' tho shei'

"Iut you said pie foi' dlessert,'' ob
jeeted .Mar'y Ann,
"Quite 'so, lile it is, aind (10 see if
there aire twel te plates ini that pIle
o'ver there," She went on unconcern
cudly counting sherb'et cupts. "I won't
keepI you in suispense. Jane thinks ani
ic'( is juast great with the meat course,
and( SO it is, in spite of baked 5(luashi,
sweet potatoes, and~ cr'eamedl beans to
take one.'s attenltion. That's why these
Classes."
She surveyed1 the table with pleas
tire, and then tui'ned to tI e menu
again. "It's just about flnishedi," she
said.(l "If you wIll get the salad plates
out, and count these after-dinner cof
fee clups. I'll star't polishing the famu
ily heirloom."
1Mary looked uip wIth interest, to see
Iwhat this might be. "Oh, goody, that
lovely 01ld silver coffee pot. Aren't
you Iproudl of it? So gladl to see It
agaIn, bless its heart," she' exclaimled.
"WVell, said( Mr's. Elliott, with a sigh
of regret, "I guess we are -just about
through. I'll make a note to buy a
nice, soft cotton Santa Claus, and the
little tre'e in the center will need to
be trimmed, There aire still napkins
to look up, but that's all, So thenh
thanks to your help, Mary Ann, we
are all set for our ChrienmaR dinner."
