wash-days will hardly bear the strain o
everyday wear. The best shirt was OF
the line drying, the other day, when

playfully pulled the shirt off the line, an,
ran down the street with it. There tn

that trained dog for q few days, he will
be forgiven and may keep the shirt; TO

line of shirts, and with the loan of a do,
( will soon be even with the world.
