a group of interested callers, she is just
her yirile, live, inimitable self with her
shrugs, her odd little gestures, her soft
Calculations, and that hypnotizing, mes

makes the world adore her.
As she chatted with me the other night
she radiated such jolly friedllness, she
laughed like a school girl over some or

crepe dc chine blouse. pale tan spats
over black pumps. She had just arrived
from the station and had only removed

concerning a monkey pet.
