had been studying to be trained
nurse and went abroad in the summer.
In Edinburgh she undertook to buy a
macintosh. She found one that
suited her, but the price was too high
She said TO the shop girl: 81 have to
work for my living and can't afford to
pay so much. You must sell it to me
cheaper" Wait n minute" said the
girl, and went to the rear of the shop
to the proprietor and s@>t: THAT per-

she's not lady, and wants u reduc-
