"Clever forgeries of Fisher notes are in circulation in St.
Pancras.
Last night, during the busy period, a number of publications

"Even Paris seems willing this season to add a few inches to
the length of skirts, and six to eight inches is becoming the

We refrain from any speculations as to the previous length of these
skirts before the "few inches" were added.
