When the coffee is brought in the server has upon it a clean and nice piece of simple embroidery. The cups and sugar bowl are arranged just so. I day acquired one Danish costume in that I always shake hands and give my thanks after a meal, It is or pretty a little thing that I think it should be introduced in America.

He only sells a box about 2 feet long by 1 foot wide and 3 deep for about six crowns. I should gladly pay this price but then is no way to get them over the day at except in a whole boat.

This afternoon the day is bright with sunshine. Mr. Lang is placing warm oatmeal porridge in porks or my fingers every two hours. There seem to be no problem for trying creatures to a head this fare
