The professor tells Of a young lady 20
badly afflicted that she was compelled
to escl.ew society uecause she coHlsI not

modest set than the tast ss'c'cty
set OF Newport The majority IF girls in
the smart set at Eastern sunfmrer resort
are not afflicted in this nlHniter. and
many OF hem would be compelled to use

Our Southern girls blush casily, hlush
naturally. and the gallantsot our South.
land love them the more for their naturs

Ii blushing is disease. then the good,
