The limit we could each spend for
lunch was thirty-five cents ; breakfast fif-
teen cents ; and supper, fifty cents. But
at that time, in choosing wisely, one
could get plenty—except me. I was al-
ways hungry. I tried so hard to restrain
my appetite because a glance in the mir-
rors and the show windows had shown
me that I was slowly taking on the
dimensions of a chest of drawers.
