A New Fad for Women.

It used to be the correct thing when a
young woman was engaged to be married
to have double picture frame in her bou-
doir, or bedroom containing photograph
of her f1ance and herself. Twenty-Five
years ago it was the fashion to have your
you were engaged to. and that was placed
on your dressing table. Now there Is a
new fad. You must not, of course, be
photographed with your fiance-that Is not
considered good form. Nor must you even even
his. The new fad is to have frame
holding four cabinet size photographs. and
in this you must put four pictures Of your
fiance in four different positions-one full
face. one side face, one three-quarters face
and one profile. 1t is rather an interesting
idea, as 1t is astonishing how changed a
persons expression is with the face in
different positions. One of these sets Of
photographs was seen the other day on n
young girls writing desk. and 1t was hard
to believe that the profile and full face
were Of the same man. This IL one of the
latest fads for engaged men as well as
girls

boat some alligators ran on my oxen hence
the oxen getting fear forcibIy took away
my cart in an abyss below the water Of
twelve feet which the cartman failed to
obstruct. The oxen forcibly left the cart
and fled to the other side of the river by
swimming. I myself being inside the mat
screen Of my cart the whole cart fell down
in the abyss. I used to cry loudly at the
time. The cart with myself was drowned
in the meantime the Overseer Babu Me-
