The New York World says:

her sweetheart.
And so it is that Angernon Sartorls, III
son of Nellie Grant Sartoris. the brcthe
of Misses Vivian and Rosemary Sartori
sits all day long amid the buzz and hun
OF noisy machinery dreaming of the tim,
when he may claim his reward.
Young Sartoris entered the Westing

And Miss Edith Davidge is waiting fol
the sturdy Anglo-American TO prove his

Therefore she reasoned thus: Many
