near the door, with the tray In front or
her. There are certain thoughts that
are AZ first functions of the brain :
after long time the spinal cord takes
them up and converts them into acts
almost automatically. Perhaps because
for the last month she had done the
thing SO often In her mind. It's actual
performance was almost without con

Carlotta took bottle from her

label for II. pasted II over the old one.
Then she exchanged IL for one of the

ness of smooth pillows. and cups OF
water To thirsty lips. In their eyes,

skirts, the CLEAN of their stiff white
caps.
