That at slO plate we make big money out

count that the slightest article Is accounted

by breaking Of chinaware and glasses. When
you have a very large banquet it means a new
dinner set. and every housekeeper knows how
easily china is clipped, and YOU can't u.s. IL

is a howl from guests. When the people At
