function OF the official season. she
was Mrs. Yang Yu, the wife OF the
envoy from the Fiowery Kingdom To-
day she came again, and created quite

did on her previous appearance at a
New Years reception. Her Wonderlui
silken robes were the admiration OF all
the women present, while every man
pronounced her as pretty as a picture,

drew the IONS share of attention, even
more than her husband, and the SILK
