airy of the Panama-Paclflc Exposition in
all kinds of dress and undress. Yes,
that's the girl. OF course everyone who
has a scrap of sentiment left in her or

that of a Columbus than of one of the
indolent Doges Of Venice. He came to

fingers upon the piano and the human
tones he drew from the violin asked him
for lessons on those instruments.
Where did they meet? A vital part OF
every romance is that meeting Every
one wants to know how and when Cupid
manouvered the first glance of the eye
and first throb of the heart that told
them love had come. What Is romantic
