fact that the rooms Of Japanese houses

The Continent (Chicago) seizes upon

upon them to ''let your loins be grid

rives from the flowing robes Of the
Oriental dress, which, loosened and
hanging from the shoulders in times
of relaxation, had to be drawn by

anything was to be done. The writer
observes that Jesus very well knew

We quote a specimen of the pilots

So things went on; we ran our course,
and turned for home no whit the

Big Jim O'Grady, Lean Mike, little

Airline. She had fiirted with each Of
