picturesque facts about so simple a
thing as the herring we eat, and about
it in particular, have filtered down
through the years, so that when we
serve a red herring we can, if we

To serve at Easter "a red herring

Of the unbrokcn customs of the year,
for century after century, like serving
a boar's head at Christmas, and a
goose at Michaelmas. The cook shap-
