even half her debts.
She feels terribly about il,
poor thing.
I've been sorry for the woman
in the sable coat for a long
time, but somehow l am not so
sorry for her now.
You see, nobody ever went to
see her except a mysterious man
who drove up in a closed limou-
slne-and when the woman in
the sable coat went downstairs
IN the elevator none of the other
women who lived in the apart
ment house ever seemed to see
her at all - they looked right
over her head and talked to each
other very pleasantly.
And the West Indian elevator
boy smiled a peculiar smile.
On, yes, there was one other
visitor who came to see the
woman in the sable coat-so
they say.
A slender young fellow with
hair that shone ike black satin,
and the very latest in smart
clothes for men.
He hasn't been to the apart-
ment for some time either-not
since the smash in the market.
They say the Other Man lost
a lot in the crash, and he's taken
his wife and gone to the
country to live for a while
and the woman in the sable
coat doesn't know just what to
do about it.
Everybody seems so sort of
poor now, and grumpy, and any,
how she isn't as young as she
used TO be and
Well, maybe she'll 90 10 work
now and buy her own clothes.
They may not be so fine as she
has been wearing, but they'll be
her own anyhow. And perhaps,
in the little walk-un flat where
she will live, she will make some
friends and not be so lonesome
and forlorn.
Poor thing do wonder what
she thinks about the whole mis-
cradle, stupid business - right
now-don't you?

School shoes for children should
