The national coors are not so pretty

When Il farmers wife gets tired of
doing her own work. she has to move
to town to get a test: no wages will
keep a cook in the country.
There never was Il man so clever that
he could take hint from his wife to
refuse to ask for certain things mt the
table because there wasn't enough to
so around.
A man who has to work hard for bis

is no other cure. If Il young man has

long that he dances with the children
of his first partner.
When bride does her own house
