Hit own blissful state might have been the primary reason for tamper ing with the life of a man and a girl who dwelt on the same floor of a con verted apartment house. The old house had been made Into one room and kitchenette apartments and there were but two on each floor.

David and Patricia stood gating at one another, •van as Henry hoped they would. The laundry was exchanged, but some thing far greater than laundry went from one human breast to another. That was on the 15th of July. Oh the 15th of October Henry delivered but fine package, of laundry, but it contained neither all masculine nor all feminine garments.

This year there haven’t been enough so 1 can af ford a new hat." At this moment the minister drove up In his shiny Ford and took his wife and little son for the homeward drive. The new Ford had been nec essary, but almost too expensive. This had something to do with the lack of money for a new hat for Little Mother.
