Picturesque gowns are those made In thin

we are To have 10 whip them, that we love
them and must make them mind. Other peopIe
Will love them and that you would be doing
wrong yourself N you didn't make them mind
and that God would punish you IL Won didn I

Then we should tell IL over again how sorry

the talking makes Il feel that you are hard
