Our town has been decidedly i'm

removal of number of fences about

The dress agencies do not except in rare in
stances. deal in second hand gowns They used to
do that. but finding that the second hand side OF
their business interfered with the sale OF their
Paris and yiennese models. they have given 1t up
almost entirely. The buyers OF these agencies go
