Shabbt Genteel Proverbs (especially
adapted to bard-up people during May
weather :) A new umbrella case covers
a multitude of slits. A patch well put
on is as good as a new shoe. A paper
collar never goes to the wah. Always
put off till to-morrow what yon cannot
pay to-day. In a shower of rain an old
bat looks as good as a new one. The
man who goes often to the tailor gets
the account at last. Hair a pair or
gloves is better than none at all. It is
a short bill that has no renewal. Never
leave off a brass chain till you get
gold one. Third class traveling is as
good as second when you meet nobody
you know. Level boot heels and a light
heart always go together.
