Platters and Pipkins (Classic Reprint)

There are some melancholy verses pasted in more than one woman's scrapbook which recite the woes of the despairing housekeeper who throughout her existence swept and dusted, and scrubbed, waging a life-long war against dirt. The conclusion of the whole matter was, that, overcome at last, she lay down and was buried in dirt a tragical conclusion which must be ao cepted, notwithstanding Richard Grant White's strictures against the hateful word.
