Three times within the two blocks that Doctor Andover had walked down College street from his house had he been greeted with the smiling con- gratulatiens of some neighbor or other, If he had not already been sure of his blessing in having secured the serv- fces of Mrs, Hildegarde Taylor as housekeeper he could "not but have been after these felicitations. "She is such & perfect housekeeper," | Professor -Ogden's wife had cooed. "Up to the day he died old Mr. Mer. gan had her tea biscuits every day of his life. He couldn't get along with- out them--and such ples!" "Yes, indeed," agreed Doctor. An- dover, somewhat embarrassed but duly grateful to providence for having showered such abundant blessings om his shoulders. ! "And she's so economical, too," Mrs. Partridge had said after offering the | young bachelor president of the col- | lege her felicitations over the advent of Mrs. Taylor in his home. "Ne | cause for your complaining now over | the high cost of living." "No, indeed," smiled .Doctor An- | dover and, as he neared the corner | where dwelt old~ Doctor Forbes, dean | of his faculty, the fragrance of juicy | beefsteak broiling in the Forbes kitch- en came to him, He had had supper that night from tea biscuits, tea, sar- dines in jelly and prune whip. That as nearly as he could remember was all there had been to it. Helen Forbes, not extraordinarily young or extraordinarily slender, but radiant and magnetic, only daughter and housewife for Doctor Ferbes, opened the door for the young pro- fessor. The rest of the college town had got used to Helen. Of course, she | was quite a beauty--but, then, she was only Helen Forbes. Nice girl, too, and a few years be- fore freshmen every year had gone quite silly over her; but she was a | little too old fer students now. But Dector Andever had not quite got used | to the radiance of her, and there were | times when he would have more eager- ly gone to spend an evening with old | Doctor Forbes in discussing college | plans and policies had it not been for | Helen. She was a little disturbing. | She didn't quite seem to belong to the | little old college town. On this occasion, however, it was necessary that he consult with Doctor Forbes. The tempting aroma of beef- steak grew even more 'tempting as Helen Forbes opened the door for him, An apron protected her light sum- mer frock, and she led Doctor An- dover rather breezily inte the dining room. « "We are having dinner late," she sald. "Dad's been working on ex- amination books and didn't want to be disturbed until seven. Now, It's planked steak supper. Dad's so fond of it. You 'don't mind coming right out, do you? And perhaps we can tempt you to have some." Doctor Forbes had appeared and Helen had Qisappeared, to return pres- ently with the plank en which was 'laid the smoking steak with the tempting berder of mashed petatoes" and various vegetables, #We must comgratulate yeu said Helen, as she laid the plank on the rather informally set table. "I don't suppese anyone can tempt yeu to meals, now that yeu have got the wonderful Mrs. Tayler. Yeu certain. ly were lucky in these days, to get a perfect housekeeper like that. And you know she was with eld Mr, Mor gan twenty years--stayed till he died ~and she was saying teday that she expected to do the same for you." "Why, that's very kind, I'm sure" It was then that there leemed before Doctor Andover an image of Mrs. Hil. degarde Taylor, with her thin-lipped and rather acrid smile, as she sat be hind the coffee things at breakfast and the tea things at supper, for she was one of these housekeepers who never I She had sat like that before Mr. Morgan twenty years, and then he had died.

Mrs, Taylor's coffee could never be smelled that way when it cooked. Doctor An- | dover remembered that she had once told him that the way she made it she | kept all the flavor In the coffee pot | and that was what made it taste so | good. | It was the test of goed coffee, she | sald, not having the gmell of it escape | from the pot. - But Helen Forbes' cof- | fee always smelled all the way round | to the front of the house, and to Doc- | tor Andover it was perfection in the | eup. | So It bappened that quite often, | without exactly intending to do so, the | young college president shared some | of the good things that Helen had pre- pared for her father's dinner and al- | ways when he did there was the evi- dence of the greatest pleasure ou the part of the hospitable old professor, who, though he may have worn his coats until they were shabby, certainly did pot curtall himself on the goed | things of the table. | "Of courss though," said Helen once when Doctor Andover had come out with an enthusiastic bit of praise of her cookery, "if 1 were a perfect | housekeeper like your Mrs. Taylor I | could set a better table on much less money. She must be quite remark- able. Why, just today she was telling us at the missionary society that she can make a pound of ceffee go two weeks and the ineat bills aren't $3 a | week. Of course, she said she couldn't manage that way unless she felt a real interest in you. You really were mighty lucky to get her. Really, It was quite amusing, "Professor Partridge's wife told Mra, Tayler that if you never married it would be her fault, and then Mrs. Taylor sald that at any rate you'd never marry for a good heme ani a good housekeeper. I theught that was , so sweet of her" "Yes, I am sure it was" weakly re- joined Dector Andover, He recalled then that he had fried cornmeal for supper, although he had begged the perfect housekeeper to omit cernmeal for a few weeks. He had never liked it anyway, he said, but he didn't say what he felt, that he had been cora- mealed to death since her arrival, Of course it was because of the economy in using cornmeal that she persisted, and Doctor Andover did eat it because he had a healthy young ap- petite and he had te eat something. "But, then," cemtinued Decter An- dever, "a man doesn't marry for a home or for a good cook. If the wom- an he loves happens to be a good housekeeper and all that sert of thing it is just an added blessing, I sup- i pose." | Dector Andover was preoccupied after that. | new system of student grading with | Dean Forbes, but his theughts did not seem to collect.
