Observations Of Peggy

remember reading some years ago
about young pair of the weIl-to-do
class in Gotham who married for love.
and while not exactly obliged to reside
in the proverbial cottage, they were not
quite as well off as formerly. However.
that is but a side issue in my story.
What struck me most was the picture
of the husband coming home one night,
after being away, and finding his young
wife asleep. her dear face "glistening
with cold cream resting peacefully on
the pillow.

embroidered in the cross stitch are hav-
