to register against the energetic and

where that attraction has played during

At recent interview Miss Valentine
told of her soYows when asked what
her ambitions were for her future in

To emphasize the story. I want to say
that while I play the part of q nurse,
I never received auy instructions in
that profession, and I never have had
the fortune to be Red Cross nurse.
And yct every nimblc swingcr Of the
