Jury-Law books

A bustling young
woman in checked gingham, which fitted her as though it were a mold for
her rather plump figure, met the visitor.
"How-do!" she said briskly. "Goin' to stop?"
"Only for dinner," Louise said, smiling--and when she smiled her gray
eyes made friends.
"Almost over. But I'll run an' tell the cook to dish you up something
hot. Come right this way an' wash. I'll fix you a table where it's
cool. This is 'bout the first hot day we've had."
She showed the visitor into the dressing-room and then bustled away.
Later she hovered about the table where Louise ate, the other boarders
having departed.
"My name's Gusty Durgin," she volunteered. "I reckon you're one o' them
movin' picture actresses they say are goin' to work down to The Beaches
this summer."
"What makes you think so?" asked Louise, somewhat amused.
"Why--you kinder look it. I should say you had 'screen charm.' Oh! I
been readin' up about you folks for a long time back. I subscribed to
_The Fillum Universe_ that tells all about you.
