No, she had gone out alone.
At last, suddenly inspired. he asked,

answered, mo. I've got it. but / can't

likes to have the maids in charge try

hands and criticising them. No wo-
man who wears good clothes likes to
know that her cloak is at the bottom OF
a heap of cloaks poked into a cubby
hole, and that is about the way that
things are cared for when they are
checked. The woman who has the wis
dom of the serpent keeps u very ordi-

her head in an enormous lace scarf.
The scarf can be wrapped in the cloak
and put under the seat. and the gentle
man behind can put his feet on IL or
even poke hole in, II with his umbrella,
