Girls. Wear WhiteI

Frau Liebreich, a wealthy resident of
Munich, is convinced that girls who
wear white dresses get married sooner
than girls who wear all sorts of colors.
Accordingly, she has organized a
League of white women among her
friends, the members of which under
take to wear pure white for all i'm
portant and ceremonial functions. In
her address to the first members of
the guild-some 20 fair maids of Mu-
nich-Frau Liebrich is reported to
have said: Il loved my husband before
he loved me, and he returned my af-
lection only when he say me acct
dentally in a white dressing gown.
White is a symbol of pure love and
thus appeals to the better half of the
male creation. The plainest girl
dressed in white will conquer hearts
more rapidly than a beauty who stoops
to the meretricious attractions Of a
hundred hues."

a mountain town and entered abe
hotel dining room, taking a seat. A
resident who had been drinking fell
into conversation with him. I'm
glad you've come here" said the man,

them advice. They drink a heap, |

has mummified his whole body. The
mummy is in a fine state Of preserva-

clothing of the ancient Inca workman,
was found with the body, as were also
two mallets, one fashioned out of
