Duplicity

(1953 December)

Maggie <8> was disgusted with the duplicity of the world the other day. She opened a new tube of toothpaste, expecting it to be cholorophyll, and it came out in a lather. Says she, "There, right there on the box, it says Walgreen and it's white.

That was easy to figure, but what she ate at school which she glowingly described as Nazarenes I still wonder at -- "We ate some Nazarenes today at school, and were they yummy!" Like little oranges? Three grew together.

I traced down the Nazarenes. They were really kum-quats but at first were thought to be and called "Necatrines." Thought your mind might rest easier if you knew. Mine did.
