mistakes. Possibly the writer is r

forth the characteristics of a "re
man." The writer handled the svt
Ject well, using such beautiful la
guage. 1 like such articles and thin
they should have inueii to do in *u
plying reading matter for the new
papers of the day. Keep such art
cles before your readers?they a
improving?hearsay doer not do
impress, we must see and d'gest.

The last cry from Paris is the cafe v<

would seem to be not particularly becoming

tho veil brings out all the pink in the er

black these novelty veils are likely to th
have a great success over here.
