Mrs. Sands sold their house because
they want to go to the country, but
they are going about the business OF

they want. At all events II will be
a month or six weeks before they get
their Lares and Penates together and

The Sands built the house, and so
eminently successful were they that
DR.. and Mrs. Moore are entirely salts
