For the good of the women and mankind. The grocers will please attend to it. Those wire screens they use over baskets and barrels are not ‘*ater tight’. This is a delicate matter. But you know when ladies go shopping lor cabbage and beets they don’t like to be oblige to take peas also. Please put in shape so as to offend nobody. Mrs. ”.
