A NICE'
By RUBY GREENE, in Kiwanis Magazine

too short for indulging in these un
pleasant little scrimmages for the
sake oT a dollar. .

a store where I bought’most of my
clothes. Before I had ever had a
chance to wear it, the color had fad

of blue. The lady who owned the

, timid, polite little person, I can be
pretty devastating, can’t I?
I don’t care what business you're
in. Maybe you live in a different
town, maybe I’ve never heard of you,

cream, a covering of meringue which
is then browned quickly under the
broiler and served on slices of sponge

Add a spoonful of horseradish to
sour cream and serve over green
beans if you want a real treat in 1
