Leah Hirsig Diary Entry

I like Kitty—She is pure!

     

Lady Reporter yesterday. I see now why there are so many inexcusable statements made. Such Reporters are people with sufficient nerve and an empty stomach. They possess little else and certainly have no claim to knowledge of human nature and to of as much as spelling!
