talented wardrobes, Miss Kitty
Field? Oh! the giddy thing! The
Mormon horror has not worked as sue
cessfully as the dear creature could have

demands Miss Kitty says she has had
to repeat her lectures wherever they
were delivered, for some reason that
remains to be explained, the repetition
is yet to take place.
