RED haired girls may proftably read

own kind: A girl with red hair looked

red ribbon and round her throat was a

their mistresses. Mrs. Emmons, of
Washington, brought her gazelle-eyed
hound SO Bruce" and paid SIS day for
his room and board at this hotel. The

tans at the States have worn white satin
ribbons on their necks and created
sensation among the ladies.
