For her part: “The earth ain't xood enough for you to walk on before they get you, but afterward it's cook and wash dishes. and clean flat and run to the grocery and wear cotton stockin's, and then comes a baby! Don’t tell me! And T was getting my good eighteen a week.” The one who wasn't young— she someway looked as if she never had been, 2nd who had no baby and never would—favored the cufe audience with her own strictly academic view of only a thimbleful of bones and a pinch of feathers to make him, where would be have physical room for emotions?

His gray suit would have been a gredit to the Kking’s tallor—never mind what king— and his spick-span Panama was as fine a hat as never was made in Panama, seeing they are woven some- where' else. Most people were brisking along in the leaden dusk to wherever they were going., but the man stopped bLefore a shop window to consider an exhibit of wax ladies dressed to the queen's taste—meaning, of course, quecn fashion.
