the firing and adjusting of the person for

Mr.. Editor,-Why did you depreciete At.
more's mince- meat! Ii is excellent.
HoUsEKEEpER.
Mr.. Editor,-Atmore's mince-meat saves a
world of trouble to houSekeepers. How
wrong you are! PASTRY COOK.
Oh, Mr.. Editor, am mad with you for
attacking the miuce-meat. There is nothing
else so good. LADY CATERER.
We cry your mercy, ladles-you and half
Il hundred others, We beg pardon. We
give in. We burnt our mouth once with
mince-pie. We are sure that's it. Don't
make mincc-meat of us, if you please. You
have taught us to love it. Mince-meat for
ever.

against Atmore's mince-meat. 1t is the best
in the world Fisher don't know what he
is talking about. Mrs. SHARP.
No. he does not, poor fellow ; but, then,
he is innocent, and why should Kidd make
scapegoat Of him? But so it is always.
Scapegoats are always innocent. Let US un-
deceive all hands. We are friend Of mince-
meat-Aimore's, and nobody else's. We
were trying to advertise it, and not only put
our foot in it, but burnt our fingers. we
are loyal to Atmore, who is the friend Of lhe
hOusekecpcr. Atmore forever.
