foot to market, where 1 was set
upon by a great dog who got hold of
my carriers and was in i'll humor and
did haggle with the market man
over the price OF a chine of beef.

r. Brinkerhof had fetched from
Larchmont containing many pastries
and juicy grapes. With him to call
on w. Holder. the news vender, who
is old and is troubled with fits of
dizziness. and we sat talking with
him for an hour on the unhappy

Home. where I fell scrivening al
belt the day is for me to rest and
sent by post a package to Phil
Simms in France and a long letter
to my father. And so to bed.

New York office boys who rose to
business affluence. The value of the
sanskrit lies in the fact that should
a rival wish to plagiarize your
trademark he cannot do II without
advertising the owner too. But on
