All the articles mentioned, as we'll as
those merely alluded to once. enhanced
or modified the charms of her who was
Zdzd. Du Barry and the rest OF 'em.
Harry Hartman. the auotioneer. said that
practically everything went at a sacrifice.
but there were those who differed with
him.
When a pair OF tan shoes with blue
Innings were knocked down to a blond
young man who said his name was Will
Jams for 81 cold cash some one who
sat behind him mumbled -Stung." On
the other hand, when the blue polka
dot silk frock that Mrs. Carter wore on
that fatal automobile trip and afterward
to the house OF the clergyman who didn't
recognize her brought only S11 from an
unsympathetic looking woman who whis-
pered that she thought it would do to

Miss Maud Odell the $4,000 beauty. !
arrived little before o'clock and spent |
nearly half an hour examining the blue |
and pink underwear. the white lace
skirts and the thirty-seven wells.
She dwelt with obvious interest upon |
the green and red and tan and pink shoes.

aWell, then said Miss odell. rI'd like
TO try that pair of black satin ones with
the silver buckles and she rapidly d.
vested her right foot Of it's Gibson tie
she partly donned it-her toes went in
Ill right, but the heel remained outside
despite all efforts TO coax 1t within.
swell, don't care much, anyway
she said IS she walked over to inspect an
oil painting Of some COWS; -the heels are
90 high for any OF my parts l notice
,f the oth5rs there. and ! suppose that Is
he reason why Mrs. Carter never wore
hem. They are about the only ones that

There was one real tragedy. A slender O
