Every girl wishes she was charming.
Some girls wish it so %fervently that

The extreme delicacy Of their manu-

quilting loom was constructed which
could be driven by power, though its
production was only slightly faster
than the hand loom. During the last
twenty years great improvements have

The Halves.

One of the most talked Of women In
Germany at the present time is the
Princess von Bulow, the wife of the
recently resigned imperial chancellor.
Her interest in the arduous work Of
her famous husband is Of the deepest
kind, and he often consulted her about
the various problems Of state. Her
fondness for the prince is, indeed, pro-
verbal, and a certain court dignitary
once said to her, "You divide all men
