In every instance. why not use good,

He threatens to marry one of the most
notorious women of submerged Paris.
Boris earned the distinction of having
painted all European capitals red. Even
in Paris he is called the wild grand
duke His favorite haunts are Max
inns and the Cafe de Paris. He is a
heavy drinker and Is always surrounded
by the smartest butterflies of the town.
Recently he thrilled Petersburg by
getting into box at the Aquarium and
throwing paper money down amongst
the crowd. People were astonished.
Knowing he is always hard up. till 1t
came out that he had taken the money
from man from Moscow immensely
rich who had gone up TO Petersburg to

grand dukes clutches. The crowd was

Lord Roberts says England must adopt

smoking would. be of untold disgust in
society. We knew Of 1t in foreign parts,

me ask you honestly. Does the woman

smoking. A woman does not know

The estate near Andover which Lord

Chatham. the elder William Pitt, and he
devised the estate to Pitts nephew, the
first Lord Camelford. 1t passed to the
