world since the world war and having
studied first-hand conditions growing
out of the war in ten countries of Eu-

other one Of them, think 1t was Mrs.
Friedland, said she'd heard a lot of
gossip about you and women, but she
knew it couldn't be true, and she
didn't care II 1t was. But the LAST and
best was what Mrs. Tanner said:

Good Lord in heaven!" shouted

1T was exactly the kind Of speech
that wanted you to make" returned
Mrs. Morgan. "It's got your person
