The maid gave II to the butler.
The butler gave 1t to the page
And the page took II to the chemist

paper. and read what was written on
it, appeared very much surprised, and
then handed It back TO the page

back to the butler.

And the secretary gave It back to
Mrs. Darcy.
The chemist says that this is not

face.

But then her old doctors came with

pills and DR., Green with his powders,
and she soon forgot the new doctor
with his new notions and his imperti.

The idea! When she was too sick
even TO do anything for herself!
A Cold Proposition.
