A Hundred ON the Half.SheII.

Olive Harper, who was raised in San Fran

much bigger than split pea until she came to

efforts to eat a. many here as she had been &C
customed to eat at home:

order, and torcibly too, before he left the room
This was my most serious attack-of oysters,

waiter came back, knocked, poked his head in.

largest oysters, sir. and my dinner with them,
and quick, too He bowed and left | began
to fear l had Overdrawn the market, but finally
got down to work again, and forgot all else but
my letter to y0u when he returned and brought
my dinner in, but no oysters. 1 asked where
they were, and he said. - Dey's comm mis-"
and he bowed himself out, and directly re-
turned with two other colored gentlemen, each
with big trays covered with oysters, I
declare, as big as my hand, every oyster.
Well, there was my dinner on one tray, and
three trays of oysters. To say | was surprised

those Oysters-102 of them, and with them has
departed my liking and longing for oysters,
forever; California oysters have no indi-
yiduallty; they are comparatively so
many grains OF rice; but each one OF these great
horrible New York affairs seems like some
strange individual, and l feel just as if they
were specializing on my probable internal econ

there as possible. The way those oysters slid
down that drain! Ugh! Ii makes me shiver
