taken under consideration.

thought she heard a bell ringing, and
looked for an engine on one of the
tracks. She saw nothing, and started
to cross, when she was struck by
something.
The young woman is unable to say
what struck her, and inquiry about

fur. or of fine dark cloths with brilliant
duvetine blouses. Frequently skirts are
accordion-plaited, and contrasting col
ors and textures are used most effec-
