beard that question lately often asked Of the Crys
tai Palace.
"Is it open Why, | thought it was closed.
No. ma'am IT is only going TO be Six weeks more,
and it will be closed. 1t is open nov, and never has
been more attractiye-never better worth visit than
at the present time All who saw it last should
