autumn for the main crop. which begins

ever it is possible, to buy in the original
package, as thereby you get fruit much
fresher and fuller of juice.
The piquant tang of lime juice goes ex-

with ice. broken to the size of hailstoneS.
over it she poured a generous glass of D.

scooped out a little of its flesh. The end
