the patrons Of the Lad 5 Book, that
the forthcoming volume will more
than justify its well earned title Of

1t has passed into custom to assert
chat dress is matter Of tr itl g inn

to be utterly false. Taste in d.ess Is
universally felt TO be the index Of

AS further assurance Of thorough
excellence in this department, the
