Mr.. Arthur had I wife who possessed

he loved her very dearly; but 4 widower in

With the income Of the esthetic mania are
shirred dresses. They must necessarily be
worn by diaphonous women,-long, lanky,
collapsed girls with sloping shoulders and no
protrudiny loealities,-nice flat females who
can droop,-droopiness is the prevailing char
acteristic Of the esthetic style. I asked my
self the other day when saw some surah silk
