If you want real Dutch lunch, it will consist of rye bread and cheese, with a glass of rich milk. The milk has some curious and pictureeque associations. In the early morning--again if you keep to the old quarters--you will see the dogs, which are universal beasts of burden in the Netherlands, dragging the little milk carts. The barrels are brightly painted and are mounted with shining brass. And, while the milk carts are going round, the maids--generally plump and swaddled in manifold skirts which give them the aspect of abnormal lati­ tude--are bustling about with the pail and mop and that 'glazen spuit' which is one of the most cherished of Dutch domestic institutions. It is a great brass squirt with which windows and shutters are energetically sluiced."' If yon feel ill and need a pill Why not purchase the best?
