3. 3
   When selected, give your entire thoughts to preparation for domestic use.
4. 4
   Some wives insist upon keeping them in a pickle; others are constantly getting them into hot water.
5. 5
   This may make them sour, hard and sometimes bitter.
6. 6
   Even poor varieties may be made sweet, tender and good, by garnishing them with patience, well sweetened with love and seasoned with kisses.

   Wrap them in a mantle of charity.

   Keep warm with a steady fire of domestic detraction and serve with peaches and cream.
9. 9
   Thus prepared, they will keep for years.
