Sarah Durny is the pastry cook.
She is my version of an old slav-
ery mammy because she is jolly
sympathetic and a friend to any
one who cares to share her friend-
ship. Any f Indent who works in
the dining hall is lucky if he is
not called upon to write two or
three letters a day for Sarah. The
pay for this duty ii always forth
coming in the way of choice mor-
sels of food. Usually it is an
extra piece of pie or cake or bet-
ter still in the summer it is ice
cream.
