Alas, Mr.. Dresser, the man
who yearned TO have millions

bride. SO she lived with her
mother IN Brooklyn and they
met at the home Of her sister,
Mrs Albert Stcrner, in lower
Lexington avenue.
Matters were going from bad
TO worse when the Summer Of
1918 set in. The FrpnChman

been drafted into the French
