MIR. J. E. de Sousa
AVA Fraitas ami


able Second Secretary Of
the Brazilian Embassy, is |
practically in the depths of a (
great mystery and is no end /
puzzled over the recent big |
box arriving at the Chancery |
addressed to him, from a
well-known shop in New York |
and containing the swankiest
of hunting outfits. An outfit.
complete with scarl e +
checked, wooden shirt, gray
seude jackets, trousers, etc.
In the first place, and this !
deepens the mystery, Mr.. !
Freitas has never ordered any !
such outfit, and in the second, !
the clothes, themselves, are
evidently intended for a huge
tall man, for the Jacket, !
alone, fits Mr.. Freitas with
the ampleness of spreading
tent. At the moment, Mr..
Freitas is very much amused
over the mistake, but wonders
why it all happened.

of yellow sequin roses, caught at
the square neck. And-MrS.

supple folds, well below the
waist.

"A ter of the George HAIRLESS, is
Just back from an European

sheer feminine curiosity, be-
cause she said that everything

q tag announcing it was made
in Prague.
However, the result of Aileen's
stay there was any number OF
gorgeous and different gloves
which she brought back for her
winter outfits. One pair OF
gloves for evening, are white
kid and so soft in texture as to
seem like velvet, and are hand
painted with huge scarlet flow
