It is recommended to those whose

they take them and make picture sleeves

and turn them around. This will bring
the bag up to the shoulder and make
the wrists tight. Thus you get q smart

fads. and why cannot an artist trans
form a plain woman into a picture

is a small top crop, but for the crop
in general and OF, sandy lands in par

and the occurrence Of either nearly

vary the yield materially. The aver

division 76 per cent. and in the vest
