wouldn't even sit at the table.
That Reba's case has aroused much

apparent that lot of good people think
something terrible is going to happen to
Reba and that there will be an awful
scandal. The leaders OF the feminist
movement in this town believe that Miss
Davis knows her business and they are
content to let her handle IT, Many others
are writing that Reba should be released
and that Miss Davis ought 10 have pity
on her and all that. As matter of fact
Miss Davis and Miss Edelsohn are the
best of friends and their conversations
are perfectly agreeable.
There is misunderstanding in the
