armchair, blue draperies, portieres, dolls
OF every nationality, and-oh, 1 never
could enumerate all she has, and the ar
rangement is so tasteful. This dear
creature of romance says she was never
better contented in all her life. It's
well some women are petted. Too bad

lithograph, land there's my horseshoe
! hung upside down, so the luck won't run
out. No place like Frisco to live in. I'm

Ferris Hartman was in his usual good
humor after receiving several encores.
I've been five years in this little pen and
wouldn't change it for the finest room in
the Palace Hotel. That chair, water
