she presents the appearance Of a something
between a corpse and O whitewashed girl :
however she has pnt on her eyebrows what
she has left off her face. and on each end Ia
an artistic black spot as If they curied just
there. She sings lovely song about the
naughty boy, then comes down ia the
audience, walks up TO strange men and says:
Hello, boys. pretty hot, amt itp They
get her something to cool her off, and Patsy
sits at the other side Of the nall and looks at
her with admiration, mingled with fine
gcorn.
She had black eye the other day, which
she told the other people came from a knock
against the door; but Patsy's fist, If 1t

She works there from the time the first
boat arrives until the last one goes out. and
when the end Of the week comes she hands
over her earnings to Patsy with the same

Then the priest comes in, and he is re-
