There were about four hundred and
seventy coffee houses in London, be-

The fakir reached down into his
satchel and pulled up square paper

He handed the package TO a man who
was standing in front Of him, and it
was carefully examined by verybody.

THE ARGENTINE GIRL.
A Pretty Picture of Beauty In Early Lie
The Beauty Gone Before She Is Thirty.

A Pretty Picture of Beauty In Early Lie
The Beauty Gone Before She Is Thirty.
A pen portrait from foreign eorre-
spondent of a typical Argentine girl
presents a very charming picture. In
the bloom of youth, and maturity as
well, for she is fully developed at ff-
teen, she is beautiful to look upon,
with her erect and splendidly proper
toned figure, perfect oval face, hair as
dark as night, and lustrous eyes shaded
with long, curling lashes. A tinge OF
European blood gives her checks the
dainty pink of damask rose. And as
her full, red lips part in a smile over
teeth Of that pearly perfection rarely
seen, she is fascinating object of sem
suous beauty. To complete the en-
chanting picture she must be clad in
some soft, clinging material made in
the latest. Partisan styles, with here
and there a CLEAN of diamonds, and a
coqucttish hat to frame her dainty face.
a woman In the highest sense of her
peculiar nature, and yet a child with
Rn the vivacity of youth. She capt.
Yates with her beauty, but in mind and
soul there is something wanting which
physical perfection does not satisfy,
and the charm is soon gone, for at TWEEN
ty-fve, when the American girl is just
at her best, the Argentine girl is passee,
growing corpuleuJ and coarse very
rapidly as she approaches middle age
Her habits are indolent, and she is adj
dicted to the use of rouge and powder
TO such an extent that her original
complexion is entirely concealed.

and so that there is neither cutting nor,
