Lacking in Felicities,

Half the profound truths one hears
are spoken entirely by mistake. Up in
the Virginia hills is a small hotel, or
large boarding house, whichever you
like to call it, where the air and scenery
are supposed to make up for the lack Of
modern conveniences. A pitiful foot
tub and a pint Of water greet you every
morning, and you pine for your home
tub as Moses followers hankered for
the feshpots. A Washington woman,
who is own sister to Mrs, Partington,
Is staying up there. She sat on the gal
lery one day last week, and this is what
she said:
IT'S a lovely place, but II has one
drawback-there are no felicities for
bathing re."-Washington Post.

eats stale bread, while in America the

your fondness for hot rolls and biscuits,
which are eminently conducive to dys-
pepsia. Then, again, we do vastly more
