: VALrE OF a BLoypE RrNclEr
There seems to be one thing after all,
that seems to have more value for not
having cost anything! The following
incident, which we find in French pa
per, illustrates the truth of this apparent
impossibllity.
AT Charity Fair, lately got up by
the benevolent fashionables Of Paris, the
princess P had u counter covered with
elegant trihes. One of her gay acquaint-
ances, Count de R, approached the
stall, and after looking at all the articles
was walking quietly away The lovely
shop woman, upon this, called cut to
know whether he was going to be so un-
courteous as to pass without buying
something Of her.
Il would tc said, with significant
look, If you will sell me what | want

so beautifully to your shoulder

cess, very promptly, and scizing pair

cess.
The Count as promptly drew a check
from his wallet, and filed it 20 the
amount, secretly thinking it was rather
dear. pocke,ing it with very chivalrio
grace.
The next day the Count telling tie
story to his sister-in law with some tri-
umph, who happenen to be an intimate
friend of the Princess's, was surprised
to find it received with burst of hearty
laughter.
The Princess made n good bargain
out of you said his sister, for, as /
chance to know, the five hundred francs
which she charged you for single curl
is three or four times as much as she
paid the hair dresser for the Wh0h 1'g'
