sharp things when occasion demanded.
A certain lady who had always been
envious of her once bought from her
French toilette. which Mrs. Ashley
who was going into mourning, could
not wear. But the purchaser, after
having worn the slippers, brought them
back with the remark:
"They are too big. l could swim in

Mrs Ashley took them, and answer
