written by an American gentleman sojourmng IN

dice at all, merely using band like that worn by
infants, which has the advantage of covering up
nothing in front, and being regardless Of every
thing behind 1t requires tact, however, to keep
it on. One lady, with no sleeves at all, in Paris,
and only narrow gold cord, in the excitement OF
the dance, broke the cord, and everything came
down by the run. Are we coming to this"
