been introduced, for black kid gloves
are being used for shopding and the

In cold weather every one feels the
need Of some kind Of protection for the

the lace scarf, but the newest protector
is Q fully plated ruche or fraise Of black
lace. That known - French lace IL
used, - it answers the purpose
and has a. pretty front with . ribbon,

have Il strange power in the discovery
OF palliatiun for crime. A young
