berth was taken except the upper
one in section five. Nearly all the
others were made up and occupied as
well. He left his grip and overeoat on

TEIL DANGERS.

According to the Petit Parisien. Paris
ladies have just been warned authori-
tatively that the wearing of a veil
adorned with pattern is the direct
cause of a multitude of diseases of the
eye. So is the wearing of wells covered
with black or white spots, their special
quality being to throw the eyes out of
focus. Illusion wells of very fine ma
terial are said to be the least harmful,
especially if they are black and worn
close to the eyes. We believe that sim
liar warnings have already been given.
Indeed, one sometimes wonders what
is the purpose of the spots on veil.
Really you might almost as well wear
