Hiram Sloane told me the other day that a big envelope addressed to the Rollings Reliable Baking Powder Company of Montreal had been dropped into the post office box a month ago, and she suspicioned that somebody was trying for the prize they'd offered for the best story that introduced the name of their baking powder. I don't like to be suspicious or talk scandal, but sometimes I think the Jumbles have too much baking powder in them. |
