was a large proposition and one
about which, like most women. I
knew little indeed.
I had to learn about charters"

he's SO silent and forbldding

AS Saturday approached found

what our weekend at Dreamwold
would bring forth. When Virginia
issued her royal mandate Of an
invitation resented 1t, for I
knew that she intended the con-

tween Jim and me. She thinks
he ought to have his freedom
and means to work to that end.
