It is supposed to have a slight elasticity. The 'stationery' items are sometimes carelessly audited by the State Department." "We're wasting our time," said Keogh. "This man was born to hold office.

He seemed inclined to make an impetuous offer, but a brief shake of the girl's head arrested him. A boy entered and asked for an evening newspaper, and Gertie attended to the transaction.

He took another sheet of paper, selecting from the various stationery that stood in the case a plain piece, rejecting that which was marked with the address of the house, wrote his own address at the head, and proceeded for the second time to write his note of invitation.
