The other forecast was but a short
time ago. Ny wife was very anxious
to buy a house in 47th street that had
recently been remoddled and pleased
her very much.
While we were considering il a
man got the refusal of IL Il few days.
My wife was disappointed and disturb
ed about it, and I said TO her. Let us
go over and see the fellow that your
brother was telling about. Perhaps
he'll tell us that We will get 1t any
