She visited here, very charming girl.
How is she now?" "I'm quite well,
thank you," said the young married
woman who once was the elder Miss

it. And without knowing or caring
who had lost it, said: There is the
coin, back of your heel" A man
picked it ZIP and she turned to chat
with her companion. But the incl
