Here is Partisan story to show how
poorly man comes off in any contes,
with womenkind. The other day Paris
ian and his wife went 20 Brussels. The
first thought of the lady was naturally to
visit all the shops, and especially those re-
nowned for lace. She met with some mar.
vellous bargains as q matter of course
gave glowing account of them to heI
husband, and proposed 10 take quantity
Of the lace home with her, sreuggled under
her dress. The husband, like husband
resisted. 1t would be mourning too great
risk, be said vehemeptly the lace would
be found and copfiscated; he would not
consent to the arrangement. The lady
agreed that she should, like good wife
go without the lace. Ard SD the pain
started for Paris, Mon sieur well pleas,
that he had avoided this new txtrava
gance. AT the frontier they were met as
usual with the demand, Amy thing to
declsTe?' They said "No." 1t was
enough, and they were allowed TO pass
without further trouble. Now here begins
TO show itself the folly of men. The lady
gave her husband look, and the husband
began to foresee the bitter reproaches OF
his tender spouse. 1t was evident that
she might have passed the lace without
danger. She would certainly take her
vengeance for the loss of her coveied
prize in good lecture. To avoid this
horror, it became necessary to convince
the wife that there really was danger.
She must be searched. Monsieur whis-
pers to one Of the Customs officers that
he imagines the lady at his side has some
lace hidden about Ler person. She was
immt diately taken aside, and in few mo-
ments the officer If Customs returned, bis
face besming with satisfaction, to into III
the gentleman, with profusion of thanks
that his supposition Was well founded
The lady had at least 10000 francs worth
of lace hidden among the. folds Of her
dress

wealthy family in the aristocratic boule-
ward Malesherbes were amusing them
selves in seeking the Kings portion, or
the ring in the festival cake, when a lady
of the company says to the hostess:
81 wish my portion to be given to the
poorest little boy we can find 10 the
street." s1t n
The servant was dispatched on this freez-
ing night, and not far from the house he
found aragged urchin, trembling with cold
and hunger He brought him up, was Or
dered into the saloon where thousand
lights glittered and a sparkling fire glad
dened and surprised him. He drew his
portion, which the benevolent lady had
promised, and, as luck would have it, the
little fellow found the "ring" Oceans they
use in Paris unsteady and, OF course, he
was king" They all shouted out that,
being KING he must choose Queen. He
was asked so to do, and, looking round the
company, he chose the very lady who had
proposed to cede her portion of cake. He
was asked why he chose her. He said
al don't know she looks the most like

my mother IlLever knew her, but
was stolen away from her, and here is her

the very lady herself who, in Italy, had
her child stolen from her, and now he
turns up q poor, little, ragged Savoyard,
dragging along q miserable existence in
Paris, while. his mother, by. intuition, per-
haps, felt that ID the air near to where she
was was one so dear to her.
