Prominent Figures in the House.
Mr.. Beverley b. Munford is perhaps the
best looking man in the House, but that
does not signify that tho other members
are lacking in good looks. The truth OF
the matter is the young attorney IS an I'M
usually handsome fellow and what adds
TO his appearance is his taultless attire.
Few men are more careful about their

eternally glossy, despite depressing wea-
ther at times. and his collars are forever
spotless. There Is nothing loud IN bis
dress. aud his neatnesS by no means de
tracts from his manly appearance. The
word clever" exactly suits MIR. Munford,
for ne is always bright and pleasant.
