girl usually does not know. Growing
up in such surroundings Il was little
wonder that Marie became the kind Of
a girl she did. She Is only eighteen
years old at present. and is very

Though the Zeller girls became ss-
tranged from their old friends In
Vienna. first because they had become
very poor. and later because they had
become artists models. there was one
friend. Marie Meyer. who continued
their friend through all their troubles
and experiences. She was about an
age with Friederike, and had to work
for her living. But she was very eN-
pert az making fancy dishes. and incl
