ity is always sure to meet with a fall.

1t has got so nov hat the daily and
weekly papers are gradually usurping

The head gear of some Of our fashion
able females is simply o~utlandish, espe-

with ''fuss and feathers" is a mild com

out in a two-column editorial they have
not the time to spare, and the discerning
:. editor will not infict them with such.
