first saw them on a Monday noon
when she was returning TO her stem

She managed TO resist the tempta-

had always been an ambition, o.
which she had dreamed in vain. On
Wednesday noon she marched with
an air OF determination into the store,
gave the blond!ncd young woman

with the stockings in q small, neat
bundle, and IL cents In change In her
purse.
This meant that she would have 20

were 81 a week, S. OF which she gave

But--she owned at last pair OF real

tantalizing question OF what she was
to do with them. She couldn't wear
