NOTHING TO EAT.

Illustrated.

NOT

By the Author of "Nothing to Wear"

"I'll nibble a little at what I have got."

--"My appetite's none of the best.
And so I must pamper the delicate thing."

--The least mite will suffice:
A side bone and dressing and bit of the breast.
The tip of the rump--that's it--and one of the fli's"
