The crown pria- cess of S2=e-Mciningca cOUld not live without her cigarette. It neither tales from her good looks, nor spo;l9 her teeth, nor diminishes her activity. She > nearly tliry-four, but appear scarcely tyventy-aix. The In-2nta Eulalia spoke when she vas last o1 ~. . ilavirr set her an o.-aupic as smoker.
