it has connections with all other
kitchens in the neighborhood.
All happenings, good and bad,and
especially the bad comes into,and
passes out of the home through
the kitchen
Some kitchen news is “flavored
to suit-fastidious taste But the
most ol it is “seasoned” with
onions, peper arid other ‘ hot
stuff” to make it “smell loud, n
and stimulate the goozle as it
goes down. All kitchens know
the “curiousness” of every mem¬
ber of the family, and this
curiousness “gets out” and goes
the rounds forever and forever.
This kitchen news is delivered
every morning with the same
regularity as the morning paper
and when ft suspicion »> once
is
| aroused, we look at the victim
ttlrou i i another pair of specks. J J

No one is responsible for this
kitchen news. No one boasts of
having discovered, reported or
written this gourd-vine kitchen
news, fruited with green gourds,
the perfume of which adheres to
all parties connected with it.
