these certificates Ut the ballot shall

was SO indiscreet as to use some OF the
real names of the people whom she de-

publishers changed the names in later
editions of the books, the person most

publishers testified that the use of the
names had already eaten up all the
profits of the book, Miss McLean's first
venture in authorship was failure in
