along Sd avenue thinking about

handed to her
it was the advertising card of
a lady named mrs. grimes, saying
that she told past, present and flu

so mary she went to see mrs.
grimes and slipped her a doller,
and they had nice little talk, in
which mary happened to mention
that she had some money in a
bank
