Mary Ann—The landlord’s here to boost the rent again!
Hubby—That means you have no fur coat this year, my dear!
Wife—Oh, I don’t know. I may be able to find a friend like the woman in the story, “The Tale of a Fur Coat,” and you bet I’ll not pawn it!

Full many a race is lost
Ere even a step is run,
And many a coward fails
Ere even his work’s begun,
Think big, and your deeds will grow,
Think small, and you’ll fall behind,
