lady of my acquaintance has had the
rover to entrance me the way that
little girl with her big luminous eyes.

Where does she work"

Thursday and she helped serve the
guests. But saw her once before, on
the train when she came to the city.
Though che was dressed simply. l
never dreamt for second that she

room carrying big soup toureen."
Maybe another glimpse of your
waitress will cure you of this mad
infatuation. Perhaps she talks with
an Irish accent I'm going up to the

Sanford made an. attempt to apollo
gize for his unintentional offense,
though all the time he was thanking
his stars at being able to converse
with the girl he adored."
