tossed in loose tendrils by the wind.
Her skin is still fair and flushed as a

coat and a scarf about her throat.
"oh. 1 ask you, 1 ask you. is it fair
that one person should eat and so

matically. II SO to make these
women understand it is not fair, and
to mak them band together loyalty in

pay IA and 16 cents for a pound of good
meat. Now they want us to pay 10,

Of 1t they are unable to eat, and there
