The Wedding i lans actually carled out, the ceremony performed and the two- "set up housekeeping together.

"I'm adaptable-," she wrote. "My temperament Is sympathetic. I can usually get Inside the other man's mind. 1, don't get my results by 'aggressive methods but I get results." That four women figured In the life' of Peter Stratford, master masquerader, Is indicated by the correspondence. One is "Zola." Another is believed to be Miss Alma Thompson.
