the bicycle rider, the newsboy. not
one omits the act, and all the women
cross themselves.
In every Russian house. no matter

side by side. and follow one another

walls after service is over.

A Railroad Beauty.

A railroad company that spends
large sums in illustrated advertising
has in its employ, on the regular sal
airy list, one of the daintiest. sweetest,
love.iest divinities ever seen. Her
duty is to look pretty in front of a
camera. habited in fine feathers and
possessed of the grand air. All the
travelling and most OF the stay-at-
home world know her from her pic
lures. A little while ago she sat in
a box in n New Haven theater and
was quickly recognized by the audi
ence, who temporarily stopped the
play to give her long, loud and con-
tinued applause. The other day she
wrote to the company: Il need a new

made that the Dominican church of
Santa Maria NoveIla was also used
as a place in which Dantes ''Divina
Commedia" was expounded in the
ages called dark. Dante, like Michael
