shesturns on the gas t. its full, and in
stisues general search throughout the
apartment, that she may be sure it does
not contain a "horrible burglar" or

ghost Of Calvin Edison, much less an or.
diuary robber. Having ascertaiued that
she is reslly alone, she ieisurcly proceeds
to divest her fair form of the silk and
linen eonven,onalities First she re-
lieves her glossy hair of the pms and
combs which en,hraIl it, and does it more
conpsct'y. Then off comes the little
collar, and the light vapory cloud she
calls undersleeves, which 'uIl the dag have

the nightgown is thrown over the friIl, d

and the shoulders in the linen folds -
Then COULTER pane and sheets thrown
