But the weather. which had been

they can be used almost the same

Quickly he ate two OF the charlotte

wade TO his bungalow without getting

The besetting vice Of girihood is. I

large share OF the charm with which
nature has endowed them.
Undeniably. Il Is a wonderful com

TO have a lovely face. an amiable ma

that's as much as we ought to ask for
In one human being. Or IS there an
important something left out. and Is
that something personality. individ-

Isn't it true that the most valuable

Would you care TO be one OF a row

The trouble Is, I am convinced. that
their attention Is never sufficiently

youth So I think Il IS time that some
