some unknown reason Dame Fashion has
not smiled upon the Texas coast as suita-
bic for winter rosdepce Southern Caiifor-
MIA and Florida have won the favor OF that
great and powerful influence OF what Is
the proper thing and great hotels have
been erected along the shores of the turbn
lent Atlantic TO catch the first smile OF
the morning sun, while palace-like sruot-
ufes abound near the beach OF the peaceful!

watch the great orb seemingly SINK into
