I suddenly remember that the next day will be a busy one at the oflice, for I have at last realized my ambition, and am a designer. I go to get my beauty sleep, leaving the ghosts of memories to play hide-and-seek with the flickering fire-light. MARY AGNES CoCHRANi5. Class Propheless. Page 'IlLL't'I7ltf-UIUL'
