cent clothing; and had healthy APP
petite that was never satisfied, be-
cause after paying for my room and
what clothes had TO have, | couldn't
buy enough TO eat.
But the year when | was fifteen

IL got fred from the laundry. T

one day after I had walked through
snowstorm TO do my cleaning. fell in
dead faint In the corridor When

clothing to wear more than anything

ment company in Virginia that she
met James Knott, who is now her
husband

relief now that the Juvenile court Of

of the larger expensive front lamps

gang didn't carry wrenches. but when
the boys saw a lamp that suited them

kinds or trouble.

of the lamps were sold, they said, but
the bulbs they used in electrical ex-
