So John stepped into a tslephon.
booth and after half an hour OF
waiting and eNeruciaiing impA-
thence, learned that there really
was a girl. Marie. in New York
City living az the address he had.
but that she had not yet returned
from her work In the factory.
Cali Operator
Wen have her call the opera
tor just as soon as she comes IN"
the New York operator said. And
with that John had To be content.
Wen wait right here in the
cafe" he declared.
The operator said that Marie

your ticket" the bus driver told
her as she passed him.

for 80 days. and that I could stop
over wherever I liked? ?"
20. K. but let me punch it," the
bus driver said.
Within five minutes Janet was
talking to her friend, Molly, on
the telephone.
