her coral mouth and walled In an al

elusive private schools, and when the
proper time arrived she was launched in
society.

once edited, you know, a little paper
in Connecticut
"At dentists banquet in New

he told a story about an amateur Con

This mans name was Jake. Jake
was at work in a corn field one day
when neighboring farmer came to
him. holding his jaw.
The farmer had the toothache, and
to save a trip to Winsted and den

aching tooth.
Jake led him to the barn, seated
him on a saw-horse and took from the
harness room a pair of very large,
rusty pincers.

himself extracted huge tooth.
The farmer clapped his hand to
his jaw. He pointed reproachfully to

OF all the French counts, none stand
higher in history or society than the
Chambruns. When Louis XIV. erected
all those marquisates, a Comte de

Chambruns always have had sense.
They kept much of their land through
the revolution; they had shifted a

at the restoration they were among

Shall | tell you of the Marquise de

Do you want the money? One of her
sisters married Comte Leon Won
Moltke, who represents Denmark in
Paris, and his brother, seeing it was
good and fair, espoused Miss Bona

Edith Garner, married Gordon Cum
