Simple as Could Be.

Tarts were on the table, on the dresser —in fact, everywhere. It was the day of Mrs. Swankle’s party, and the cook was making great preparations for the feast “Very nice—ve-ry nice!” said Mrs. Swankle, impressively. “But what a* pity, cook —they're all the same!** “No’m,” replied cook. firmly. "Some’s apple, and some’s raspberry. ** "But they’re all marked *T. A_* ** said the mistress. “How can yon tail the difference between them?** "Easy’m,” was the oook’s proud explanation. "The apple tarts ar« marked *T. A.’ for * "Tis Apple,’ and the raspberry ones are marked T. A’ for "Taln’t Apple’!”—London Answers.
