I waa wondering1 how In the world I could rate courage to aak Jack ftr money nough to pay for my trip to New York to pe Allc off ehi he said to m last night. "l-oa-II. don't you want to go and bid Eoodhy to Allc when h start for u rope "I har bca w,ntiwJ t-?T rathsr my kusbsnd w.r. untru. Is me thea that X wsrs a slave to .hi. financial whims." Ood (rant th feeling that worn, a had for har huaband will never coma ta ma whan I think of Jack. (Continued tomorrows slnre I katw aha waa rolnr abroad, dear, but I waa afraid wa couldn t avea afford the little money I would seed for laeld.ntala.
