sweet and terrible to the heart. Little
feet, little feet-perhaps if l follow you
! shall find again our mother that is
lost. Perhaps Elizabeth left you with
me that | should not miss the way"

were poet? Ali, my friend, if Richard
LIE Gallienne comes to the town in which
you live 90 and hear him read if only to
pay the poet Il compliment and to hear
him tell with boyish smile on his face
that the best explanation he can give of
paradox is ''that it is like truth
standing on its head to attract atten-

to in the way Of scarfs, from the john

a hat is the business into which the
clever little actress has gone. initiating

the handsome building; you ride up
several fights in an elevator, and, wish
ing the newest things in scarfs, you en-
ter an artistically furnished ROOM and
then wonder where the stock is. There
is no sign of trade. The room has been
properly arranged by a famous Boston
house decorator, and when YOU speak
