another well-meant remark about moving

to the original inmates of the compart-

changed glances expressive of their an

the presumed Americans, who, like
naughty children, seemed greatly diverted
by the situation, and rather tried to in
crease the ire of their compagnons de
| voyage by an overflow of hilarity.
AT Dover the two parties stopped at the
same MOTEL and crossed the next morning
to Calais. But what transformation

ssupercilious. stare was the only response.

they were most dying to know!
A firm in Chicago is composed of three
| young and pretty girls, who support them

! upon seeing the garment put on for the
| first time. They believe that every Wo-
man should have several pairs of corsets
| and change frequently to preserve the
contour both of corsets and figure.

II Is an interesting little story, says the
| New York Times, but 1t must be told entire
| nous, as it came out accidentally and
| with no thought that 1t would be made
public. People are always interested in a
| very pretty woman, but they ask some
times if she is really as pretty as she
| seems to be. or If her good looks are not
largely due to her accessories. Lillian
| Russell had genuine tribute paid to her
| beauty the other day. Miss Russell has a
| maid, a married woman who has family
Of her own, and who has an almost moth
| erly pride in an affection for the prima
donna. She was standing in one of the

in her street dresses" said the maid, but
she never looks so pretty as she does when
she first wakes UP In the morning"

How much Is real and how much Is

a calm audacty that IS a development Of
