nection with one woman who was lost
for time and finally found by her anx-
ious friends living a quiet, humble life

ten former life, and, though they made
her recall nearly everything, they can
no get her recognize her husband. The
fact that her domestic life hadn't been
any too happy may have something to
do with it. It's ever so much simpler
than getting a divorce, to just for
get it,"
