uncomfortable in the exposed streets. Dur

tlble depression in trade. Business men

The girls Of New York are divided into
many grades. The social lines which

girls Of any other set than her own. She
Is never intimate with any but her own

she was cOldly received here. All
Europe has raved about her beauty for
three years, and she is the most
popular girl in the Prince Of Wales set in
London, but she is seldom spoken of by
New Workers. Yet she is more beautiful
