"Years and years and years and years!" said Ruth, laughing. "Well, this party is in honor of Harry, so you mustn't tell him anything about it—not even that we're giving it. And Bob, I believe Fred would help make the jack-o'-lanterns."
"See here, Ruth," said Bob, "you want Fred to get half the credit for the artistic job I'm going to do. Well, for your sake, I may let him help a little, but I'm bossing the work, I can tell you. Why, I'm particular."

Breaded Lamb Chops (Four portions)
4 chops
1 egg-yolk
1 T-water
½ C-bread crumbs
½ t-salt
1 T-butter
Wash and look over the chops carefully to remove any particles of bone. Beat the egg yolk and water. Dip each chop into the egg mixture, and then roll in the crumbs, to which the salt has been added. Place in a buttered pan, dot well with butter, and bake twenty-five minutes in a hot oven.
