seems to be a scuffie. Usual, between the
Lorillards and the Leafiards. Whether fine

to be there, Mr.. Dennis, with our exhibit,
and let us hope that it will not be composed
entirely OF drug store adveStising and soap

We have money enough to fully equal or

heather is liable to casually drop in and
scoop us. What hate is to be beaten by
heather. That's where the heather had
the bulge on us in Paris. He did things

great and unseltish thing. We can do it.
Let us do it.
Estelle Lafayette Binks asks who is
Worth?
Charles Frederic Worth, of Paris, France,
is well-to-do dressmaker. He started out
as poor sewing girl. and first attracted
attention in Paris by not leading life of
shame. This drew about him the curious
and wealthy. who got him to make their
dresses. He was born in England, I think

goods store at first. but showed such genius
in draping and arrangin. costumes. also in
inventing new methods of sQuandering
money on clothes. that he was soon able to
establish himself. His place, think. is on

'Tis worth that makes the man,
And want of it the fellow.
This is also true Of the women Of Paris.
Worth has q very handsome daughter
who has served to show OF some of her
fathers greatest master pieces in costum-

about twenty years old and is doing well.
Worth does not make dresses for nv
folks. We are q little particular about who
makes our clothes.
