the United States, after a hearty hand
shake said, "You wicked old ogre. what
have you been doing all these years? Take
me home to breakfast and give an account
of yourself" The invitation was accepted
and while pouring out the coffee she said
that trade was excellent and collections all
that could be desired. 1t was pleasant to
watch her as she sat at the table to admire
