Trying Yucca.
On her way to school that morning Linda stopped at the post office and pasted the required amount of stamps upon the package that she was mailing to New York.

She hurried from her last class that afternoon to the city directory to find the street and number of James Brothers, figuring that the firm with whom Marian dealt would be the proper people for her to consult.

She had no difficulty in finding the place for which she was searching, and she was rather agreeably impressed with the men to whom she talked.

She made arrangements with their buyer to call at her home in Lilac Valley at nine o'clock the following Saturday morning to appraise the articles with which she wished to part.
Then she went to one of the leading book stores of the city and made inquiries which guided her to a reliable second-hand book dealer, and she arranged to be ready to receive his representative at ten o'clock on Saturday.
Reaching home she took a note book and pencil, and studied the billiard room and the library, making a list of the furniture which she did not actually need.
