Il have two or three glass boxes with

After all the hunters moon makes the

ideal for either travelling or sightseeing,

ribbons all the time, it either means
the outlay of considerable money or a
great amount of care in preserving and
renovating them when they are soiled.

garb, if properly supplied, costs deal
of money, but the girl of sentiment will
sacrifice all along the line in her trous-

occasion dignifed by traditional we'd
