Proverbs for the Table.

Fast well, well. A wise cook fondle.-, his fire. Diplomacy lieth under the dish cover. Discretion is the proper sauce for cheese. Let the doubting cook roast his fish. Court the onion and flee the doctor. A bad dinner is often redeemed by a good salad. Rare beef and well-cooked fish betray a wise cook. Peace hideth herself under the lid of the well-managed pot. True economy in the household has heaven for its banker. Neither the nibbier nor the glution knoweth the value of feast. He who eateth without drink buildeth his well without mortar. Drink milk and wine, bnt keep them wide apart; Who joins their virtues will life stomach thwarts Eat like a hearty man. Drink like a sick one; So may life’s little sfeua Not be fob quick run. —Tka Cuktrer.
