K. Beecher says, "The Washing of dishes does
seem to me the most absurd and unsatisfactory
business I ever undertook. If when once
washed they would remain clean forever, there would
be less occasion to grumble, but no sooner is
it done than it requires to be done over again. I

would never have done so."

old copy fo the Balto. Sun, - the printing
being so minute it was read with difficulty.
Stories of letters that had reached
S.S., their destination, from foreign countries
when most of the address had been omitted, were
given. James P. Stabler had written, "Mother,"
Sandy Spring, Md., on his and it crossed the ocean
and found "Sharon". Mary Scott had
