A Close Intimacy Between Pareats and

There are parents who think they

mingled something leading to harm
And even as this charming prin-
cess, Notwithstanding every pre-
caution, by accident came upon

In London century ago il was no

of this kind, and to carry the compli-

shoe was ordered To be dressed and
served up for supper.
1.-THE cook sat himself seriously to
work upon it;tie pulled the upper part
(which was of fine damaslxl into fine
shreds and tossed it up into ragout,
minced the soles, cut the wooden heel
into thin slices, fried them in batter
and placed them round the dish for
garnish. The company testified their
affection for the lady by eating heartily
of this exquisite impromp:u.
