there was a rather general reaction
but the days showing Of the Rev York
market was such as to cause much
comment. 1t was in short the Euro

ficult to understand in view of politi-
cal uncertainty which for the time sur
rounds the currency plan or the great
French loaS and in view also Of the
fall in British Consolidated yesterday.

for their sons and their husbands,
and have they been so close and true
as sister, wife, and mother, that

their hearts pure, wholesome feel

they would be able to avoid her, and
pass on without remarks of any kind

they were not proud of it, that they
we're harboring secret hope that
their wives or mothers did not par
