The American Legion Monthly Vol 1 PDF Download

Excerpt from The American Legion Monthly, Vol. 1: December, 1926 Henri departed for Nice. Valentine's allowance was not stopped: she was to join him when she wished. Valentine had taken up her profession when she was seventeen. Her accounts of having done so varied: there was the Great Love Affair, and the story of Unhappiness at Home. As a matter of fact it had been the sensible thing to do. She liked nice things, and she hadn't liked work; not that she was lazy, but she didn't care for the people who worked. Also she liked men as comrades; men of a class higher than her own, who went shooting in Scot land and had yachts. Her career had been successful. She was extremely pretty. Had her nose been a shade less retrousse she would have been a real beauty. She once went to a specialist to see about having it taught a more dignified angle - he had assured her it could be done without danger. She was not afraid; it is hard to imagine Valentine as being really afraid of anything; but on mature con sideration she decided that the good God had equipped her with that nose and it would be a more sporting proposition to go through life so handicapped.
