- (continued from previous page)Cute hens lay out.
Don't send the fox to mind the goose.
Don't jump from the frying pan into the fire.
Fine feathers make fine birds.
The proof of the pudding is in the eating of it.
The old dog for the hard road and the pup for the puddle.
Would that God the gift to give us, to see our selves as others see us.
Where is that snow that was hear last year.
- There is no fire without smoke.
One today is worth two tomorrow.
The used key is always bright.
Many a cute hen laid out.
The cat in gloves catches no mice.
Wilful waste makes woeful want.
The new broom sweeps clean.
It is easier to build two chimneys than to keep one in fuel.
Silks and satins often put out the kitchen fire.(continues on next page) - Informant
