wife Eat causes people 10 rubber when |
she gMts by, and causes her husband to
stick out his chest with pride at being
seen in her company Also, she advcr-
tlses her husbands prosperity. and is
the only woman in America who can
wear a tiara wi'hou, looking as IL she
had busting cap on but she is no vile

a particle OF coquetry about her, and
