Things her guests enjoy eating. For
some years she has made it a point
to iot down the favorite dishes of this

her desk When her cousin Molly is
coming to lunch she looks up her
name, and there finds recorded that
the aforesaid Molly is particularly
fond of custard desserts of any kind;
clam is her favorite soup, and in
meats she dotes on anything cooked
