According TO some statistics quietly

English style of adding 10 ones income
prevails in unlooked-for quarters. 1t Is
well known that in London the hanson

by n MAJ of distinguished title. To a
Washington society woman has occur
red the idea OF emulating such an Illus
TRICKS example by operating a similar
industry. She buys up from time to

pair or dilapidation and uns them as
Hnight-liners." This fact she has, Of
course, endeavored to keep from her
friends, as she wisely grasps the fact
that while they one and all would be
nothing 10th to benefit themselves by
such an unusual enterprise they would
be the first to turn and rend her for
going into the business that now nets
shcr q comfortable sum.
