issue. was projected by Prince Andre
Louis Leopold Charles Marie Poniatow-

the offices from Charles s. Peck, agent
of the building. and fitted them out in
an expensive and artistic manner.

titled protector has not received his sa,-

an auction store. Nor is this all Mr..
Peck declares that there is four months
rent unpaid, and he has seized upon all
the fixtures of the office to secure him
against loss. fs1
1t was the intention Of the prince when
he began making his arrangements in
this city to have the Revue make its ap-
Dearance about Feb. l. 1895, and it may
be issued then, but long before that time,
if Agent Peck's calm is not settled, the
desks, rare pictures and costly rugs in
the offices will be sold under the sheriff's
hammer.

princes business abilities, to say the

obtain a perfect figure. The idea of a
corset Is support and not a harness. A
big corset that squeeZes in and COM
presses the flesh gives false impression
of the French ideal. a characteristic of
the true French figure is its soft, grace

possible, but there Is little corset below
and less above the waist line and so the
