a balcony with thirty Of her work

A PIECE or PINE.

"a piece of soft pine" breaks more
pocket knives than anything else in the
world. If what we are told is true,
every knife that is brought back broken
has come to grief by that same piece of
soft pine. We never heard of knife
being broken in opening tin cans or
when used as screw driver. They
stand such usage, but the true test Of
quality is the piece of soft pine. We
