Jappy considered this. Fond as she was of Sheila, she saw no way that she could do anything more to help her.
It was a few nights later that Tillie and Jim Blaine, on
their way to see a new musical comedy, urged Sheila to come along with them. Jim was resting between engagements. The other four Samper sisters were appearing to- gether, giving Tillie a free eve- ning.
