However, these dancing men are not fit
ouly for that; most Of them are mighty
fne fellows, and just a bit graceful and
fond Of exercise, that's all. Among the
buds receiving will be Elizabeth Nc

The terrible tragedy at the home of the
William Howell EHises has cast gloom
over society folk from which 1t will take
some time to recover. Mrs. Ellis. every

woman, devoted to her husband and chill

mother dead on the floor is not the least
horrible side of the tragedy. impress
