For Catherine’s Sake

ON a lane that projects through the countryside from Broadway to Sixth Avenue there is a club, and across the lane from the club there is a theatre. The night we are interested in it was raining little tigers. The play was over and the people had all gone except a well-dressed girl. By W. A. Fraser21 min
