but 1T seemed that no one was anxious to
take girl who could give no better
account of herself than she. Her lunch

about 7 O'Clock and walked down Eleventh
street, but when l got in front of the

nothing but failure, and was almost ready

"No, l don't think l want to try it again;
home is good enough for me" was the
answer Cathie gave when asked if she
thought she would try it again.
