a small brown book.
"Oh, Dick, see! We've not saved

draw from the bank for the rent today.
Oh. Dick--we must give up theatres

was not naturally extravagant, but the
good position which had been kept open
for him on his return from France had
made him careless. Philinda, too, en-

gayly along on the tide of easy pleasure.
