Think of mentioning " poke-rime " in fashionable society ! " Tell her she must dance Little Zephyrs, or you'll send her right back," suggested Prudy, who was famous for thinking of the right thing at the right time, and so making awkward affairs pass off well. "Yes, Fly, come out in the floor, and dance ' Little Zephyrs ' this minute, or you must go back...
Side 64 - em ! " There was a second dash upon the stove, and another scorch in the slip. "There ought to be a fence built round that stove," said the anxious father.

Mrs. Pragoff weut to bed again, laughing at her own folly. Dotty, it seems, was feeling very much like a bitter-sour apple.
