When IN Norway, heard young lady decline an IN.

of a young lady who should make such an apology
But the apology requires explanation. Late The
autumn, Just before the winter is expected in,
the establishment of Norwegian taniily, especially

ordinary activity ani preparation; tor II IS at THIS time
that the winter stores provided, and this IMPLIES

mails. Then follow the various culinary operations
the sailing of meat, the making OF different kinds Of
sansages and meat-bals for soup, and black pud-
dings a, ID white buildings, &c; and for all the vari
Gus sausages and buildings, the meat IS grated, and
beaten, and seasoned, operations that require no IN
considerable time and labor. In all these matters
the young ladies the chief actors; that II can
scarcely be wondered al that the Froken refused

duties only performed by ladies o. all ranks IN
Norway, but considered by them TO be agreeable;
and this OF slaughter and preparation IS looked
