something to thc effect that he had the

make in tho seme breath some hint w ith ref

control the pursestrings, Mr. Chamberlain is
by no means a henpecked husband. He is a
man that would attract attention anywhere as
a Hue type ot the patrician. He is not a bril

to practice his profession of the law to any
