dignation, exclaimed. mo, | Will not

Perhaps" answered the specialist
surgeon. more calmly. but with dry
severity "She asked me why sur
geon was like a hen. And when | gave

Il give it up, too said the family
doctor.
Because his motto is always Cut

"And that woman has been under

family doctor "Tll take her to DR..

the dining room, which presented
scene of beauty. The table was fes-

cream, moulded in punches of green
grapes was TIM served. The cream,
so novel and beautiful brought
forth many expressions of praise
from the ladies. Angel and other va
