What Annie Laurie Said in August
and What She Said in January

Last August Annie Laurie" paid my
establishment visit, made known her
identity and had her face made up'= with
Eugene Enamel, Rose Bloom. etc. On the
Sunday following, August 18th, there ap-
peared In the Examiner an article describ-
ing the interview, and describing my estab-
lishment and preparations so accurately
that my patrons all recognized it. From
that complimentary article of a columns

The above is from 'iAnnie Iaurie'so ar
ticle Of last August, remember. Now. see
what tins same woman says in last Sun
days Examiner, Of the very same articles
tine same Eusenie Enamel, and the same
Rose Bloom. Notice the different effects
these same red and white liquids had on
annie Laurie" in August, and ON her
imaginary friend. as described by .'Annie
Laurie in last Sundays Examiner. from
which m axe the following quotations.:
Her foolish little nose was tinted weird blush

these two descriptions? Perhaps, had

head from September until now? Why It
was not published then? All! every news
