"One of the lirst qualitlcatlous for a

In the trivialities or the tongue echoes

This sentiment wtxa uttered with
much unction by a man of uncertain
age, whose face and figure have for
years been familiar in the clubs, In the
ball rooms, and other places of social
resort In Chicago. Ills hearer was a
