British collection at all the lats Worlds
Fairs.
The fact that it is exempt from duty en-
| ables us to sell cheap without loss.
This is an opportunity TO obtain this
beautiful fabric, which, perhaps, was never

ests as well as the charity OF the public to
improve it. One Of us will call for this
circular and make lace on the cushion be-

COMMUNICATIONS.
To THE EDITOR OF THE Los AN
GELES HERALD: In your issue of
last Sunday you took OCCASION to
hold up to ridicule an individual
who called upon your County Ply
sician for permission to enter the
County Hospital. By so doing
you no doubt fulfilled your duty Ms
an editor and published the story
as it was given to you. The indi-
vidual does not binmo you for so
doing, but he thinks that your
County Physician would have
done his duty as u Christian and a
Doctor If he had relieved the suf-
ferer instead of seeking nOtorlety
for himself by holding an uniortu.
nate up to shame.
The Individual deplores the folly
he has been guilty of and since II
has become u public matter he
takes the OCCASION To ask pardon
of the people Of Los Angeles fol-
the error he committed and which
has been called to their notice, and
at the same time deny utterine
curses, deep or otherwise, AS such
is not his habit. Respectfully,
His ONLY FRIEND.
