that had those clear tintings OF blood and
milk which in q womans face are like
mystic veillngs, suggestive, attractive
an enchanting. Her hair had the color
of tie snow covered Jungfrau mountain
IN the Alps when lamben with the
myriad flames of the early dawn or the
setting sun; it was as suggestive ana
alternating in sheen as the lapis lazule.

Budweiser, Iphegenia Budweiser What
q strange union in nomenclature' ~
was sad day for lpbeeenia when shc
first became conscious OF the sung tne
family name caused the bearer. IL was III
a Young ladies' seminary OF the most eX,
raisei on n,ntucky's bluest grass, calling
Iphegenia. whether inadvertenty or by
design, cried in her drled-up voice:
Miss Beer-ah, excuse me-Miss Buo-
weiser, wish you would not forget to do
your work.
The girls Uttered, while crimson waves
chased each other in Iphegenia's lace.
1t gave her angelic face certain hardness
about the mouth, which in moments OF
anger was especially marked.
This was not the only heartache lphe-
genis had, The mothers who used 10
visit the girls at school were more or less
