poker fiend says: ats tough when
you make a bluff at getting home early
and have a nice story fixed up for the
breakfast table. At such time you reach
the top step of the stairway As you
do it makes creaking noise

past ten o'clock is spoiled. You've got to
stay in the game and draw new cards, Tor
the bluff won't work"

necessary pictures and personal outlines

registered, and when the work is finished
Washington will have about two hundred
moro photographs from Rhode Island
