arranged and chosen by their o proud patronesses with a a. view to a certain certain tain lain public effect nn and the idea pros pros' flashed upon me that the fair were vere on tho the eve ota ofa new strange and inexplicable fad as as' as unique as it was unanticipated by bj anything in inthe inthe inthe the pres present nt category of feminine freak and follies First of all I noticed a

as asI 1 I looked about me it seemed as if It on every baud band the women by some strange and to me inexplicable selection had manage managed to obtain a vivid degree of correspondence between tho
