The praciicSi experience Of Blubberly,

THE PoT-AU FEu.
As long ne we can hire good cooks
for twelve dollars per month, we have
no desire to have our broth spoiled by
the interference Of the ten pretty fng.

spit, and the boiling of the pot, are, how

ces in the happiness Of life, and should
not be lightly contemned by woman.
