Dennis of Saco Me writes to ask about the prospects of locating tho Worlds fair Do you think Chicago will get away with it or not 2 I am very anxious anxi-ous to know for I can hardly go to Chicago but could go to Now York The question is a serious one Mr Dennis Den-nis one that I have little to do with I am above local squabbles and rise superior all sectional lines At the time of this writing it seems to be a scuffle Usual between be-tween the Lorillards and the Leaflards Whether fine cut tobacco or mess pork gets it we will try to be there Mr Dennis with our exhibit and let us hope that it will not be composed entirely of drug store advertising adver-tising and soap statuary Do you think Usual that as a nation we are covering up what beauty we have with bright red printing and big black dollar marks I hope the Worlds fair wherever it is held will give the artist and true genius as much of a show as it does the cheap man with a dozen Sivamp lots for sale or the quack doctor with the brain of a blue jay and the advertising instincts of a pole cat We have money enough to fully equal or eclipse former affairs but money will not do it We must use some taste and discrimination

the heathen had the bulge on us in Paris He did things that we could not do and he called attention to it and kept the crowds about him while we had nothing to show but the usual county fair programme run in the same style It is my patriotic prayer that America may never again be humiliated before be-fore the nations of the earth as she was in Paris this year I say this in order that in 189 it may not bo for I know it need not be Let the real estate men and the electroplate electro-plate advertisers go for three months and add to our glory as a nation by doing a great and unselfish thing We can

in Paris by not leading a life of shame This drew about him tho curious and wealthy who got him to make their dresses He was born in England I think in Lincolnshire He was a clerk in a dry goods store first but showed such genius in draping and arranging costumes also in inventing new methods of squandering money on clothes that he was soon able to establish himself His place I think is on the Rue do la Paix or some such Rue as that and on the great French holiday which occurs on the 14th of July his decorations decor-ations and illuminations are tho finest and and the most beautiful He made n great many dresses for the Empress Eugenia and those who have seen him with a mouthful of pins fitting a waist lining to the Empress say it is worth a losing and nauseating journey over the sea to
