has come past Ii has reminded me that
civilization and the commuter have come

SUSIE slowly rose to her feet and stood
watching the yellow trolley car a. il went
grinding gayly down the street. Then she

clothes into dress suit case and put on
her bat and jacket. She sat down at q
table and scrubbed a note that she pinned
to the outside OF her door as she went
downstairs. She went into the parlor and
kissed her mother.
