call tbe summer sky at home blue, ao
itaother word must be cotnarl to ex

It la after 9, ao all the shoos are
open and busy. If you are out to buy
a book, look oloeely before entering, or
you may find yourself In a butcher’s,
for they are all alike. There are do
windows In which to display goods.
There ore merely opan tpnoee under

big square of caoraa flapping before It,

Tbe shopkeepers are all Spaniards

They are nonchalant as to whether you
