but the thread Of thas sewing girls nte1ls

There is anotbes explicit that you can do,
and that is to save child. A child does
not seem to amount to much. It is nearly
4 year old before il cin walk at all. For
the frat year and half IL cannot spak q

take all the je wells from her fingers and
neck and bureau and put them down.
And if told that that was not enough, she
would take her house and make over tbs
deed for il, and il that were not enough
she would call in all her investments and
put down all her mortgages and bond
and If told that were er ough, she would
say: 81 have made over eli my property
