 far has shown herself to be very loath 

 to impart her favors.

 cream of this season's introductions; 

 they are all an advance type and may 

 iie.\t year prove to be all that was 

 claimed for them Ijy their introducers. 

 To give an illustration, how little can be

 probably shorten supply somewhat so 

 even if demand does fall off during the 

 early days of Lent there is no danger 

 of a serious surplus. Of Beauties there 

 are none too many long and medium but 

 plenty of short. Sinilax is scarce.
