my way, that's all" One of this ilk used
the words we have quoted to Sir Richard
Jebb, who pointed to the door and replied,
Then, sir, beg you to make that your

Buttons may almost be elsssed among
the Injuries Of dress. In point of elegance
and in the matter of price they have never
been excelled. Among the novel styles
are those of gold and silver, set with mock
gems, in Moresque c. Florentine designs.

would also be models of extravaganza were
it not for the fact that they will never tar

monogram or crest OF semi-precious stones
in the centre These stones may be of any
color, so that the hue accords with that of
the costume.
