Martha, endeavour ing to instruct a would-be housekeeper in the mysteries of pudding making, was overheard: "Yer jes takes some bread eh" — <'But how much bread, Martha?" "Oh, jes' what yer needs, Miss Mm, en den yer puts yo' milk oh it" • "And how much milk, Martha?" "Well, yer mus' use yer jegement 'bout- dat, Miss Mm." "Bub I haven't any judgment, Martha." 'Well, de Lord hep yer, Miss Mm, 'cause I,can't!" . But the best story of the winter, and of many delightful ones to be had in the South, where the old-fashioned negro still abounds, was the following: "Ma, my Aun' Liza say there ain't no Gawd." .
