is dead in love, and is prUclaiming the
superior beauty of the Pensacola girls
and even those of other sections Of
the state in lengthy editorials.
And he takes his text on "shapely
ankles and red slippers"

can live a bachelor life in that beau.

No man, with one good eye and one
whole arm dares deny that assertion

Marion county when it comes 10 com.
pairing genuine beauty with red slim.
