appeal; it was too risky. During the
winter, however, he observed she was
an expert horsewoman and athlete.

reader this may not appear very

bring to mind the significance of
these figures. One pound of finely
ground coffee will make no less than
three gallons of a reasonably strong
beverage. Our 1913 imports there
