the summer, she laid it away in moth
balls for use the coming winter. The
day of the summer neekpiece hadn't
arrived then. Well, this woman
bought a full length sealskin coat 1t
arrived several days before the
Fourth, and she looked at it longing

until the holiday which was a blister

Greenwood and Woodlawn. while the
Potwinites sat watching the promo
