A domestic philosopher poinis a moral thus : " There stands the mince pie, here sits the man. The former is intact, the latter smiling and amiable. Time passes. The pie has disappeared, but the man is still there. But where is the smile and the appearance of amiability? Alas! they have disappeared—with the pie."
