A poor working girl noted for her
prudence and practically has lately
been bordering the problem of
whether to buy an umbrella, which
she needs very much. now the rainy
season is coming on. but doesn't at all
want or an Angora kitten which she
doesn't exactly need. but wants SO
much that it keeps her awake nights

own satisfaction by deciding on the

you can borrow an mbrella, but no
body would lend an Angora.
