I scrutinized the laces ol: the women shoppers and diseovered among theni Hath Jaekson, ll.-gina Steliey, and Madeline Burch, who were hargain-seeking housewives. The tlanies leaped higher and the scene changed. The pieees liited together as a jigsaw puzzle does and I recognized the tall buildings ot New York During the next l'ew minutes I tried to lind how New York was connected with nie.
