A long serving table stands néar the gas range, a at right angles to the table, like the prongs of a fork, are four long tables for the boys, so that it looks rather like a gridiron without the bottom bar. The boys file in singly so that there is no disorder. : Fox the small price of five cents a favorite dish can be obtained, name- ly, hot baked - beans between good slices of brea', and with a rieh te- mato sauce poured over. .
