first easter to gether darling thats the way for married woman to feel aald william almost fatuously as matter of tact lola went on disregarding any husbandly interruption you mustnt feel that im too free in my spending the hat bought couple of weeks ago isnt going to be entirely wasted in way it was really she laughed an act of charity to buy new one because li meant that was able to give the first hat to girl who didnt have any new clithos for easter what girl asked william wheauy idly not that he cared very much oh girl who works at tho nlftca where worked before wo were mar ried aald lois softly shes perfectly lovely girl but shes the wile support of her widowed mother she docuit make very much money and she ncvr has anything very pretty to wear the int that was so unbecoming to
