and she has studied diligently.
Her efforts are successful, she IS
sought after in her particular line OF
work, and money and fame galore are
alone the goal of her ambitious soul.
At least, so she strenuously AYERS to
all her friends, and at the time inn
AGNES that she really means IT 90.

For the ubiquitous stork, one early

strangest of all, the girl cuddled it to
her warm bosom and kissed 1t and

Having all that she needs, necessity
