surprised to learn what an awful lot
of trouble has been started by small

You see when you lend some novel
TO Mary. she isn't the only person
who's going to see it.
Her small brother may get hold OF

may get an eyeful of 1t. So that II

Vera'd been reading a thoroughly
sophisticated novel not at all the

Many tears were shed. and many
