That the Republican emblem stands sentinel at the door

Victorian Jacket

The little jacket of this dress
is Victorian in it's influence,
with its short peplum and
sleeves open at the wrist. Queen
Victoria lived at the same time
as did Empress Eugene, so that
a hat inspired by the latter
will be quite all right with this
dress. Notice how beautifully
the skirt is fitted through the
hipline and how softly the full
ness flows about the knees.
This dress is unusually modest
in its price, for the zine quality
velvet and fur that is used in
it.

I'VE are of the opinion that the pub

Under our proposed consolidation
plan, the Eastern trunk-line systems

In many cases the systems will have

The law specifically requires that
