And you might put a couple of cherries on top. Seen Nod this afternoon?? The girl shook her head as she deposited a portion of ice-cream in a dish and pressed the nickeled disk marked ?Chocolate.? ?I?ve just this minute got back from school,? she replied. ?Aren?t you out early to-day? ?No recitation last hour,? the youth explained as his eyes followed her movements fascinatedly. ?That all the chopped walnuts I get, Polly?? ?It certainly is when you ask for pineapple and cherries, too,? answered the girl firmly.
