out; it was rather an expensive one for them.

man in town woah either have to take to

himself by the lavish way IN which he DIS

feminine friends, after having his monogram

What has become of the bangles

There is q member of the Spoopendyke
family in town. He was at the rink the

Young things to skate, and was last heard OF

Charlie Hobbs has little white poodle

of at least one young woman who'is liter

Charlie had better steel himself against tears
and csiolery if he wants to keep mis- pet.

for tall girls, but the small ones who profited
by an extra inch or two of heel, have come
down in the world accordingly.

A smart girl who has worn Gut all her
gloves has started the fashion OF wearing
silk mitts TO the rink. This feminine Ma.
poleon will doubtless have many followers.
But now SON ebody must import a manicure
who will make our finger tips look rosy and

skate with us. Bring on your manicure.
