that she wastes so much toilet soap,
her guests using It for the short stay

The cakes are wrapped in various COL

good looking ribbed Isle stockings. The
ribs are about quarter of an inch

There are really only two classes of

touches some n great deal more than
others. These people naturally con-
tribute distinctly Individual viewpoint
to the world, thus helping others to
find their own particular niche in the
scheme Of things. However, they would

them as their own. We are intended
