On the morning of the second day, a little child in the house, aged two years, went to her mother with the remark, “Tom cold, mummie, Tom cold.” The lady was rather disturbed to think that perhaps her visitor had not enough blankets on his bed, but he assured her that he was quite all right.

For those in lodgings there is the bachelor size at eighteenpence. A
