the brandy would be omitted from the
big mince pie.
Now, each of us In his heart of hearts
felt that the pie would be improved II
Just wee bit OF brandy were added.
So |. for one. resolved to do the deed.
Accordingly ! sought out the big stone
crock In which rcposed the miuce-
meat and poured In what | thought
was moderate quantity Of brandy.

about great minds running In similar
channels. for every other member of
the family. including my father. sur

we figured that the mincemeat must
have been treated TO nigh unto quart
Mother reserved her brandy until
Christmas day, when, before the pie
was baked. she added n generous
amount OF the strong stun.
With hearts as high MS the faky pie

carve that pie and serve 1t.
The Rev. Jeremiah Scroggins. be-
cause of an expressed fondness for pie,
was given big portion.
No sooner had we tasted of the fine
dish than we discovered that that pie
was nothing short of small sized dis.
