In another letter Mrs. Bradley told of
having met 1.-The madam" (meaning
Mrs. BROWN on the street and described
her as looking like an Indian chief be-
cause of her head dress. Mrs. Bradley
did not deny writing the letter, but said
it was dated after they had broken off
their friendship. -

expression 1.-The longer the madam stays

she mentioned newspaper reference to
Mrs. Brown.

'It aroused in me the bitterest resent

Referring to the last sentence, Mr..

Mr.. Baker brought out the fact that

Contained in instructions given by Frank
