the sympathetic nature with which
she had always met the world
A love story number Of a familiar
woman's magazine and current num-
bers Of other housekeeping periodicals
lay on the bed beside her. These and
the big bunch Of flowers broke the
austerity Of the prison room and gave
II even the homelike touch which some
women can bestow upon the most
sordid quarters
The magazines and flowers had
helped the brave woman TO endure
the weary hours She glanced toward
the bed and smiled
