trouble. IL is because our girls are
not educated to be housewives. Why,
bless 'em, they can't cook. They don't
know the elementary principles Of

case is a peculiarly sad one. She is still a
handsome woman, and but for her weakness
for stimulants would pass muster anywhere as

manner in court was theatrically pathetic, but
