The practice of resolving presents

perfect at present. But considering
the few years since Adam inaugurated
the outdoor sleeping fad and became
grandpa to the human race it is not
surprising that some details are still

resolution has been beautifully work

novice, can resolve. The date, too,
has been firmly fixed as on the first

stll remains has to do with keeping
the resolution once it is made. Some,
