TO see who should throw the other on The bed.
Socially he was one OF the most lovable OF
men, and his wife, Jane Appleton, the friend
OF my childhood, was certainly one OF the
most beautiful and accomplished of women.

of jealousy. Frou-Frou was one OF Rosita's
best approximations, aud on her farewell
night she appeared by request in that char
