These "places" make strange angles and curves. One Street crosses itself a time or two. An artist once discovered a valuable possibility in this street. Suppose a collector with a bill for paints, paper and canvas should, in traversing this route, suddenly meet himself coming back, without a cent having been paid on account! <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p></o:p></span></p>

Then they imported some pewter mugs and a chafing dish or two from Sixth Avenue, and became a "colony." <o:p></o:p></span></p>

"Johnsy" was familiar for Joanna. One was from Maine; the other from California.
