tlounces. and it seems that women them
selves do not agree in the matter. . One of

the dress rs we'll as she could, and estimat-

Madam Dressnaker must have sequestered
five yards. The charge was denied and
banded back and forth until it was brought
to the notice of one OF our churches. be-
fore which the modiste asked for the full
