There is no doubt abou her right to enter the saloon, and also to occupy the best staâ€" te room upon the great ocean steamer that will leave Liverpool in an hour or two. â€" Buh as she enters she hesitates, catching certain scornful glances from ladies to the latest style of traveling costume, whiskered dandies in attendâ€" ance, and white cappedf¢bonnes,‘watchâ€" ing extravagantly dressed children.
