brought Il home in large cOdee.pOt; and as
she had been making use Of something little
stronger than Mocha, she forgot in due time all
about the vinegar; and, 10 make . long story
short she cooked supper with the SOur Stg6,
installing il for water, and dividing il honestly
between tho tea and coffee pots.
Some thirty bOarders sat down to supper;
they were % n nations, with good mixture Of
