might with better rule be turned over to
them body and bone. They have glowing
weaknesses, as love of dogs and crushing
in the form with tight lacing, but the edu-
cation and freedom which they crave would
neutralize these outgrowths of ignorance.
Mrs. Conner charmingly described the
grace of form and person which would be-
come power under the refining processes
of education and enlightenment. They
have splendid eyes-large, lustrous, beau

while.n
The tourist will find himself endlessly
making comparisons between London and
Paris and both cities read valuable lessons

, while the English are not exactly popular
they are the hOnestest nation on the earth
J Tie French are feminine, the English mas
+ culine. Like man and a woman, put
; their mental qualities together, and they
p will be just right.
