explained that washing is the onIy
way 70 keep these little pores perfectiy
free. so that they can perform their du-
ties properly.
Then / noticed another impor,sr+
thing and corrected 1t. l made the chill

Next l got each small boy towel

Sny towels except their own without

them. Each one. too, has his own cake

color or the scent he prefers in this rn-
