Continuing in a pleasant vein the
speaker closed by handing Mr. Cotter a
handsome gold watch bearing the mono
gram "T BC"; "as a token of regard
from those who have been so pleasantly
associated with you not only during the
past, but previous seasons. In the con

Mr. Cotter's reply was characteristic of
the man; kindly, appreciative and to the
point. He thanked the donors not only

She enters, shakes skirt free of sawdust, and
wrinkles nose in disgust. She moves uncer
tainly, finally points out one man.
You, if you please. Good morning. I
want to look at something for dinner.
. . Oh, I don't know what I want
just show me what you have. . . Of
course, I can't tell what I want till I see
what you have, and even then it is very
hard. . . , Yes, just us two. . . .
Well, the platter we use ordinarily fbr
dinner I don't use the best set for
because the cook used to go out any
time and get them. . . . Oh oh
oh you do? . . . They are? I see.
. . . I'll take some. . . . How
many? oh I-er Why, about as many
as you usually sell. . . . Well, let
me see Mr. Dodd generally eats about
a dozen oysters at a time I don't mean
all at once, you know so for both of us
I think about a dozen. . . . Oh, I
can send for more if that isn't enough.

Management, was given a fitting ex
pression in a surprise and presentation
at the Village Hall, Monday evening.
Mr. Cotter was drawn to the hall on
some slight pretext and he entered in
darkness only to have the lights suddenly
flashed upon him and to find the seats
filled with the amused faces of his
friends.
Naturally, it was all "Greek" to Mr.
Cotter for a few moments, but he was
soon set right by one of the party who
explained in a few words the purpose of
the gathering.
i
"I am sure it gives us all pleasure" he
said in opening, uto surprise one who is
frequently surprising . us ; that we
are all glad of the opportunity offered to
show our appreciation of one who has
lage, and in closing, prophesied
brilliant future for Pinehurst.

every day, but this one is really very
prettyj white with little pink roses
Well, it's about so long and so wide, and
I would like something to fill it nicely.
. . . I can't think of one thing.
What are these? . . . Chops? Well,
I never saw chops growing in bunches
before. ... I don't care when 1
was at home we often had chops, but
they weren't like that, but sort of one
and one, with little bits of parsley
around them. . . . You cut them
up? Oh-oh-oh I suppose different
butchers have different ways. . . .-
I don't think I care for that kind of
chops, anyway I mean those with the
little tails. I like the ones with the
long thin bones. . . . French chops?
Oh, no, they weren't imported oh, no,
chicken neither Mr. Dodd nor myself
eat a bit of fat. . . . Oh oh oh. I
can't help it I don't like the color of
that chicken you'll pardon my saying,
so, but it does look very bilious. Why,
what are you breaking its bones for? -1
wouldn't take it now under any circum
stances. . . . Perhaps, but Mr. Dodd
wouldn't like me to buy a damaged
chicken. There, I like these chickens
hanging up. . . . . No, no, not that one
farther along no yes, ye?, that's ' it
the blue-looking one with the large face.
. . . I don't care, I like its looks much
better than the other one From "Mono
