feet and the flow is pouring

spreading out just like an UNI

stead of using 1t for plant pur-

The Advertising

This is an age of advertisement.

around his beloved's neck, but one
who can give her q laundering good

achieve jewels, but it is not given

portrait in one of the Sunday pa
pers-there isn't a woman living
who wouldn't swop her diamond

Nobody believes you if you lose
your jewels any more; Opponents
have become almost as respectable
as marriage. Why. even ones hus-
