Useful Household Recipes.

To make reputations, take a ton of gall, half a pound of brains, sixteen grains of truth, and fill up with ad libitum lying. To make a friend, take half a pound of sympathy, a pound of flattery, two pounds of beneficial services; mix well and serve hot. To make an enemy, take an ounce of truth, put it on ice for a minute, and let them have it cold. To make love, take a pound of taffy, a hundred weight of sentiment, 200 pounds of ’deception, and squeeze through the hands or lay on the lips of a lonely girl who has just quarreled with her mother. The girl need not be lonely nor need she have quarreled with her mother. — San Francisco Chronicle.
