Volume 146 — ISABEL IN SPRINGTIME.

Reading edition

And yet methinks that Mother Earth, Awake from sleep, hath less a share In this, my darling's, present mirth, Than Madame Chic, costumiére; My love would barter Spring's display For Madame's window any day.

"The members at the Club dance last Saturday were rather small—but this is only natural after four dances in 'the week' and the summer approaching."—Pioneer.

Certainly nothing gets the weight down so quickly.
