goodness but there are some styles of
cleanliness which destroy my faith in al

to speak thus plainly in fashion and

The sslt cellar on the table is again trying

long. If people would avoid mussing in the
gravy with their salt spoon all would be
WELL but the thOughtiess are prone to make
this mistake, Just the same as they are also
apt to stir their coffee with the sugar spoon
