[Footnote 37: It will be observed that Mr. Powell uses now and then
slightly different methods of type-arrangement and nomenclature from
those used by Mr. Leeds. These are all unimportant variations.]

be seen in script.]

SCENARIO, OR CONTINUITY OF SCENES
_Leader--_
THUS DOES FLORENCE COAX A FEW RELUCTANT DOLLARS INTO HER
WEEKLY PURSE.
1--Interior small hat-trimming shop.
The diaphragm opens to show Florence trimming a hat. She is
a pathetic figure as she looks down at the hat and realizes
that such finery is beyond her owning. She looks up and
smiles gratefully as the owner of the place comes from
paying others in view, and drops an envelope on table before
her.[39]
[Footnote 39: Nothing important happens here, but the scene is devised
to gain sympathy for the girl at once.]
_Leader--_
THE SHOP GIRL'S CONSTANT PROBLEM--MAKING ENDS MEET--HELPS
FLORENCE WEAR OUT MANY A PENCIL.
2--Boarding house steps.
Florence is discovered sitting on step, figuring out her
accounts with a stubby pencil on back of an old envelope.
