Actually, one of diese effi^s, upon somewhat closer inspection, proved to be even more ^ a ^ y tiian we had at first thought. One dummy was the victim of a Inige spider, but the odier dummy was p ^ p s more horrid, because as one approached tiie front porch opoa which this figure sat, one r a ized tiiat some perfectly foul Valley Grange; which merged with WestviUe.
