in the world, as we'll as the most beautiful

prepare the Danish beauty for the day.
Her face is tinted as delicately as a NINA

with exacting nicely, aud always in public

Writing of cloaks and robes for the com

is a new costume, the special design of a
| leading Paris house, and is Just out. 1t is a
morning dress made Of q soft and thick
wooden material and is one of the new en-

A huge novelty is a costume of a sort OF

The value of sleep at natural hours is

As she had proved herself a student much

herself out of bed very early in the morning

evening, but would fall asleep often over
her books. waking late to 60 at the lessons
