A very large percentage of the com.

houses and houses having several ten

to the very great advantage of ev>

ty-five cents, and from that to one

the housewife who would not be COM

by providing receptacles for their
mail. No special type of box is re-

and no person is authorized to state

She knows every time we are out with

She knows the excuses that each fell

If the telephone girl told half that she

She would sow a small wind that

Ingulf us in trouble and land US in

She would start forth a story which.

Would cause half our wives to sue for

She could get all our churches mixed

And turn our bright days into sor-

In fact, size could keep the whole

If she told but one-tenth of the things
