headed out for Beverly Hills and
made application for a bond in
the booth at the Beverly Wiltshire

bond and Bob discovered to his
embarrassment that he had left
his wallet back at the studio and
that the cash in his pocket
amounted to exactly three dol
lars. Alphabetically he made his
explanations to the clerk and
started outside. Just few steps
from the hotel he discovered a
lost purse lying on the curb, re-
turned to the bond booth, bor-

the purse and completed the

The purse, its contents re-
turned, has been returned to the
