of amusement to the woman endowed with

monocle all is known. 1t is funny to see
how the young man, holding the hand OF
the dearest girl in the world, grows as red
as a lobster if he thinks the monocle is
turned on him. Poor soul, he believes his
intentions as well as his actions are dis

effort during the day TO draw her
