savings account for the baby he keeps

his money in his post office that way is

piece for you people well I know we're

supposed to be a surprise but I I just

have to tell them it's a surprise all

been neighbors she ain't hardly spoke a

civil word to us and she's making up for

it with this one supreme gesture of

hospitality Chief your wife has been

shopping for weeks sparing no expense to

make this an exact replica of the first

Thanksgiving dinner in New England oh

oysters for the dressing
