He assured Ida that of course this
was after many wild denunciations
this was after he knew definitely
that she was aware of his transgrcs-

Saidee Marmon step oil n train and
bid him a lifc's farewell. In two or
three months he would be weary of
Saidee. There might be another.
The world is so full of battling, pro-

At times Milo felt that Ida was to
blame. 1t was her absurd demands
demands he found it really impos-

Her faith was pinned to that ex-

But there are the few months my
dear. As well ask what is the worth
of n rose since it fades. We have the
pleasure of its fragrance while it

well - if you can be satisfied
with this way of living from the skin

Nora Lee felt the hot color rush
