Marie has just passed by our house.
She has a new jacket on. This makes
two new jackets this winter, and I
know she has three capes five new
winter wraps. She has an American
Beauty pinned against her fur collar.
She looks like a picture from the "Bon
Ton." She was at. a party last night,
and at one the night before. This
morning I saw two white kid slippers
lying in the alley; they were stained
dark and the heels pretty badly turned.
I have seen white slippers on the ash
pile twice before. The. children carry
them away. I know they are Marie's,
for they are very small and pointed,
and no one else in the neighborhood
wears such slippers. I have lived in
this part of town three months. I see
Marie very often, and every time I
think that she looks prettier. Ah,
Marie is coming back. She must have
forgotten something. Yes. it is her
