The clink OF falling glass startled
Annie WIKI who keeps a false hair store

"Oh, the pink Bermuda onion.
It's the biithest bird that flies.'
These were the first words she could
make out of the rambling but not in
harmonious melody.

Frank conway's head.

But Mr.. Conway was wasting his elo-
~stuence on an dnpty window. Miss WIKI
bounced out OF the front door. She took

Mr.. Conway's dignity had settled down
on him like a mantle of innocence by
