other V pretty white stuffs but none I think prettier pret-tier than lansdowne Shell make the gown in princess style and the yoke shall be filled in high to the neck for a bride may not expose her I

constantly appearing And what with the velvet stripes the Russian velours the tucked goods the dotted and palmleafed Bedford cords the new serges the shot goods the corduroys and all the rest our minds have no very clear ideas in them So if one can put off buying for a few weeks to see what will actually come out of thefire of observation and criticism unharmed un-harmed one will probably fare
