Ono girl in Describing her dimen-
sions said she Is the double OF An
Hette Kellermann. This was referred
TO Compher's intelligence officer to
discover whether it might be taken as
a confession that she is twice as thick

One FOrEets Name.
Only one girl failed to give her fun
name or address, or at least tele-
phone number. This girl claims she
knew Compiler in the days before the
war, when he wore the blue uniform
and the bright buttons OF a District
OF Columbia policeman. Her love for
him, as she insists, dates back to that
period when nobody suspected that he
was to be heir to 100000, and to be
swamped with marriage proposals.
Here are a few Of the letters:
