expense runs into the hundreds of
thousands. Last year one costume cost
thousands. 1t belonged to the captain

Solomon green with envy. The train
to this costume was wide enough to

Some impulse made Mckee go over
to her and stroke the disordered hair
softly. See looked up. startled, and
their eyes met with an instantaneous
flash Of Ieaning. Then she blushed,
and her eyes fell.
Thus they remained, motionless, for
