 Cynthia. do wish could have some corned beef and sauerlsraut. boiled to- gether. the way mother cooked them | Well Polycrates. suppose for this one day We light the gas stove in the kitchen 1 and have a corned beef and sauerikraut dinner just the way your mother cooked It. It's raining like fury. and nobody will come in."
 The fiery volcano of a gas stove was l put into active eruption, and the corned ] beef and sauefkraut soon loppered sweet ! odors.

 Fearsome smell in the halls, said
 Highart fought to be a city ordinance

 Mrs Rusknly. too, tried the fine, new fad She invited two friends to come into her kitchen while she broiled lamb chops for dinner. The chops were broiIed right but the two friends declared their clothes sraelled of sheep for q week and they would never go near Kitchen again. So that aesthetic. cookery attempt like wise faild.
