in miracuIOusly labeled bottles and jars
were harmless (and Of course there are

took her to see complexion artist.
Madame was q Hungarian JeWess. with a

On the convex or outer side OF each was a
rambling growth of hair, which the fat old

had removed from the faces aBG arms OF
her hlgn-bOrn patrons The assertion was
so absurdly funny that laughed out

Here was chance for nay friend. and she
seized it.
Z don't doubt it. madam she said. that
you removed them but you must have had
a Chicago hog for your subject. Those
hairs never grow on any american woman.
