HCVe one of our London contemporaries
there is actually an Office in the vicinity
of Piccadilly from which "cutters-Out'
may be obtained on application by letter
or telegram,
The ''cutter-out' may be described as II

born. Not unfrequently he has handle

comparatively moderate outlay, a per-
centage of the money going to the office of
the association.
Everywhere in her travels the Princess
of Wales eXcites the wonder and the adj

youthfulness in figure and face, says the
New York Sun. Not infrequently the

The idea that the famous empress-queen,

Aside from comfort and suitablCness, an

that is too small. Hands that come out
of tight kid gloves usually stay red for
a while, as the circulation is impaired in

The latter can now be hired, and for q

out the necessity Of retaining it for the

stop at wedding dresses. The system

rings, fish knives and tea services could
be hired, and after serving their time in

turned. The real presents could then
take the infinitely more convenient and

couples would not then be compelled, as
they often are now. TO take a house for
