Show SOME LETTERS OF ELEANOR. New York, March. 7. Dear Madam: I am in receipt of your bill for my Easter hat, and in reply would say that the hat is a, beauty as chic as even the Rue de la Paix could make it. Henceforth New York hats for me.

So you see how cleverly clev-erly I play into your hands, throwing more and more trade your way. I thought I had sent cheque for same, but will investigate upon my return from Boston. Am leaving on the noon train. Appreciatively, Eleanor Esmond. P. S. Can you not get me up one of those black-and-white, huge affairs. Don't consider the cost. Make it swell to the limit. I'll write you later where to seDd it. S. S. Olympic, July 7. Dear Madam: Upon the eve of departure de-parture for Europe I am reminded of a thousand trifling things I have left undone. One of these is your unpaid bill. Can you forgive mo? I cannot reach my trunk, the large one with my cheque-book in it, for it is in the hold. But, believe me, I'll remit as soon as I reach the other side. Cordially, Eleanor Esmond. Paris, October 5.
