Deliberate Pun Here?

Here is an excerpt from  "Etiquette; Or, A Guide To The Usages of Society,"
a book published in 1843.  I have already added it to my Google E-books.  (free!)  Note that
the word "puffs" is in italics!

Ongoing Novena For a Reversal of the HHS Mandate: REPOSTED


Please pray this ongoing novena.

[This will be reposted every week  until the HHS
Mandate is reversed.]

Painting Added to Rosary Art Collection

I've added another painting to my Rosary Art Collection.
Incidentally, I love meditating on The Coronation of the Blessed Virgin Mary. What beautiful music there must have been. How the angels must have been singing!
