-LRB- Cecily had gone down cellar to replenish the apple plate , so this passed without protest . -RRB- S-r-a : -- No , it is n't polite to cry all the time . As to whether you should ask a young man in , it all depends on whether he went home with you of his own accord or was sent by some elderly relative .

FASHION NOTES Knitted mufflers are much more stylish than crocheted ones this winter . It is nice to have one the same colour as your cap . Red mittens with a black diamond pattern on the back are much run after . Em Frewen 's grandma knits hers for her . She can knit the double diamond pattern and Em puts on such airs about it , but I think the single diamond is in better taste . The new winter hats at Markdale are very pretty . It is so exciting to pick a hat . Boys ca n't have that fun . Their hats are so much alike . CECILY KING . FUNNY PARAGRAPHS This is a true joke and really happened .

One day he was visiting a neighbour who was dying and he prayed the Lord to have mercy on him because he was very poor and had worked so hard all his life that he had n't much time to attend to religion .
