Wash again, powder, and polish with
chamois, and wash once more to remove

also drew out a cent and said: do We
pay for our dinners beforehand"
Laughingly, my hostess stayed my hand
and replied: These are not dinners we
are paying for, but for errors. That bowl
IS our reform bank. We are gradually

our holiday presents since we received
