The morning news. [volume] (Savannah, Ga.) 1887-1900, 1896-05-03

The letter arrived in a wrong moment;
to a mind narrowed by i'll humor, some
wind is sure to carry an evil seed. Isa-
bel Henshaw, after a languid disagree
ment with her husband, found herself
rather cross and very bored. She wished
to divert herself by reviewing her ward
robe-but this proved small consolation,
because in late August the costumes
made two months earlier have all been
worn, seen and copied, and nobody can
guess what will be the next edicts of the
modistes. The Henshaws were in town
for a week between two visits to Lenox
and to Bar Harbor-Isabel had nothing

dress startled Mrs Henshaw; as she read,
watched furtively until her mistress laid
aside the note with Indifference a trife

very kind very reasonable, perhaps not
too amusing; there arrives a letter, ma
dame appears conscious. One may hope
to gain something amid this affair. FL

to know how to act. She continued to
study the gown.

Is right. Absolutely. She cannot wear

again.
