"I see by, The Sentinel" that
Luelthow , was preparing for its

which was to cover a •hop.se-to-

I say that the doors on this ex-
pedition seemed more.. iniportant
than the houses? Often when'
went to a front door and knock-
ed and knocked someone. Would
.eventually peek through 'a win-
• dow curtain and call out to Me,
"You'll have .to ..ige around to
'the. bade'. Sometimes 1 would
feel quite sure that the front
door had ,a used look, and I'd try
again, ' whereupon someone
would appear at • the coiner of
the house, • hugging', herself to
keep :warm, ' and I'd follow her
around to the back again. • • '
. .
At first I had no •luck at .all.
I Was in a 'section Of the town
where people, , perhaps, , do not
know me, ,and I: was sure they
thought I.Was a magazine sales-
woman, and so no one answered
my repeated knocks. 1 told my
"Zone C,Sriirnander" .about failing
Jo rouse anyone inthese particu-
lar ,housea and my • suppositions
as -to the. reasons. "They knew
you , she scoffed, "and
. •
knewwhatyou were after': That.
was why they, didn't come to the
dOoe., It makes me quite; annoy-
ed", she 'continued.,, .-"after all
their children get. .v-itarnin tablets

' Dogs. were. most unpopular.in, this. town, .and people, Were
greatly disturbed by the dam.:
age they did, burying their bones
