Gladys—May I be Miss MulTet?

They're waiting to see ine, and they
don't want me to know tliem. But
they can't fool Hiis old fellow. Just

fall asleep and miss me. I'll fill the
stockings, and won't they be surprised
when they wake up and find they've
, missed me after all. (Fills stockings.

Better Than Meat
Or Eggs
All who once try iieardsley's Shredded Codfish like it better than
ment or efrjjs.
Some like it so well lliat they crave it. They could eat it three times a
day. Anil all are hungry to have it at least once every week.
For its luscious flav >r is something no one can ever forget.
And people can li ive this fine sea food in dozens of different ways,
j Each way new and tempting. Each bringing out a new taste.
No wonder all find it a welcome change from the usual breakfast or
luncheon fare.
