not know enough about the art as prac-

the door her face almost divine. it seemed
to the smitten Broadway, as her laughter

The pictures Of the many times he had
actually sat as far away from the kitchen
in the restaurants he had frequented Gre

His knees bent until he almost seemed
to be kneeling while he drew the big white

JOSIE GIVES ORDERS.

aim. VITA real apprehension for her, he
turned quickly.
