By A L E X A N D E R BIG BOY
With soft milk-white skin,
large brown eyes set far
apart, and a mass of wavy
blown hair, twenty-six-year-
old Dolly Rand was a picture
to look at. She was five feet
tall, beautifully modelled,
fihe was poor and married.
No one would have suspected
that she was a colored girl.
Her mother, a colored woman,
bad been dead some time and
she had never known her
white father.
