Black Pussy was very quick and no

You should have seen those short legs

There was no time to go looking for

didn't find it right quickly, he would
most certainly find a last hiding place

The benefit will help raise funds to
carry on the work for unfortunate
girls and their children throughout

of any creed.
Young women entering the home
are required to remain for one or

couraEement to right living, yet 70
per cent OF them are living normal
useful lives, and the children are, in
the majority, growing up normally
and developing into good citizens.
