They also envied her. All this hate and envy of her co- | workers was not lost entirely upon Patricia, although no one could sus- pect she paid the slightest attention to the ubiquitous rumors and \h:lw]\ stretched storis abound in the t person. She took everything in her stride, primarily because she was, besides bein one of the best of the photo- grapnic lovelies, & very level-headed and calculating yo woman.
