Mover have New York women looked so
beautiful as now. What with the bracing
constitutionals that are prescribed by fam

is bound in crossway bands Of smart fancy
zephyrs in many pretty colors. 1t is pro-
vIded with natty pockets and big bib that
has a collar to hold it In place. The Sweet

fashionable even than in fur. long

or to shop.
The Emperor of Germany drank the
