and said things about us-both men
and women of America! Sheisaid the
men were not as well dressed as the
women, and they didn't seem to know
the meaning of waist line" Now they
know, because these tailors in confab
assembled settled it that men shall have
a waist line. 1t shall be all of two

instance instead of full view, giving
bas-relief effect All the stamps are of
a similar design, containing head in
Z an ellipse, the only decoration being
laurel leaves on each side of the ellipse.
The lettering Is in straight lines, at the
