WANT TO BE LAZY.

ignorant. In summer time all three of
these states are desirable, and as for my

The summer days, my friend, are bet

other. In me this is well developed and
bliss is represented by an easy chair, a

fore. l once had a prize in the way OF
tanner. She was a small darby girl
known as "Minta," but whose full name
was ''Araminta Arabella." She wove her
wool into twenty-one little pigtails, that
all stood out as if they had received
she would fan you until you were as cool
as cucumber, and the lovely part of it
was that she could fan asleep as well as
awake, and that, seeing her standing up
asleep and tanning, with untiring even
ness, had a soothing effect on me that was
| beautiful, and always made me go to
sleep. Minta wanted me to buy her, and
I would have done so with great pleasure,
but, as her nanny said: "Dere amt no
freedom aroun' nowadays: Is got to take
care o all desc lazy niggers, when ii times
wuZ free / might get a few dollars for
some of 'em, specially dat dere Minta."
Minta was far and away ahead of an cleo
trio fan. There was quietness in the
waves OF air that she controlled, and her
palm leaf fan moved as if it were directed
by a soul and not by Mr.. Edison. am
always hoping to find a successor to
Minta, but alas my hopes are never real
lied.
ABOUT SUMNER FOODS.
You ought to have had some of the ad-
vice that had been given to me on the
subject of eating. If did as people tell
me to do l would upset any well-regulated
house. One woman said 1 ought to have
five meals day and force myself to eat.
Another that l ought never to touch
water, and contne myself to vegetables
and oatmeal. AS l regard oatmeal as an
invention of the evil one, wouldn't touch

l am also certain that the dogs would
be wearing black ribbons, and that the
family would be discoursing about my,

QUEER FOOD IDEAS.

1t is true l don't eat cake, and only the
insides of pies, but my daily bill of fare
would not satisfy my advisers. Did you

these queer diets! She is generally a

man, as neither seems bidding for her.
The hot water and fried beef-steak
one is usually the color of a lemon,
with eyes that look as if the water
had settled around them and made
them shrivel up. I believe, if the
good God meant that people should live on
hot water. it would have been served to
them in that way from the brooks and
the wells. I think the best thing to do on
the eating question is to select a dish
which pleases your palate; if it makes
you ILL which doubt, then don't have 1t
any more, but don't get cranky on the
food question. Good eating is especially
desirable for women. 1t makes them

Thank you very much for your kind in
quiry, and for the fact that without
giving any advice, you have merely
wished that good time will come to
Bah.
