almost too good to be true to sit there
in that beautiful lobby and forget for
half hour that | was only earning eigh-
teen dollars a week and to get away
| from the cheap beaneries where we eat
I mean, where | eat for Francis looks
after himself very well. I guess. Some
times he takes me out TO dinner, but
not very often.
Francis had seats for the Hippodrome.
so after we had some lunch at the
Knickerbocker we all went to the Hip
podrome and had good time.
AT $50 we put the girls on the train
for home. Francis said he had an ap-
pointment that evening with the banker
so he had to leave me right away.

you looked at them piece by piece but
they didn't look just right when they
were on her They didn't seem to fit
natural-like and quiet, as Mary's clothes
do. | felt a bit peeved, so | said, why
