opened up with forward passes and
scored their first touchdown, adding
one by a successful placement goal.

"They say she's very free with

marked, "The little girl is quite

Madame GARNER made no an

asked, looking sideways at her
neighbor, "ShalI you ask them to

Madame Fo-tier ali but groaned,
and said in a martyrs tone. "oh,

The other digested this thrust
in silence, and then changed the
subject. What was that she
was saying about De Maupas-
SAINT? Was she quoting him, to
US? What did she take US for?"
Eyes, she didn't realize what
we might think of her. It was
that indecent Boule-de-Suif, too.
