UNNECESSARY.
Mrs Henderson has a family of nine children, and the skeleton in her house is in the shape of a stockingbasket which is never empty. With this spectre before tier eyes she said playfully, in response to a question from her maid-of-all-work as to what she supposed would be the duties required in the next world :
* Well, for one thing, I am quite sure we shan’t have to darn stockings after ten o’clock at night, Bridget.’ ‘Shure an' that’s thrue for you, ma’am,’ replied the sympathetic Bridget, ‘ for all the pictures of angels that iver 1 saw was barefutted.’
