heart ;
We may live without friends; we may live ivithout

But civilized man cannot live without cooks.
He may live ivithout hooks, — what is knowledge hut
grieving?
He may live without Jwpe, — what is hope hut de-
ceiving?
He may live without love, — ivhat is passion hut pin-
ing ?
But where is the man that can live without dining.^
A Toast

Good cooks they are, none better can be ;
They have given their choice recipes to Circle No. 2,
Each one has been tested, and will surely please you.
