A Paris letter writer says: "a French
woman in Lent may be truly said to be tns
very opposite CT French woman during the
Carnival. From Ash Wednesday to Easter
Monday she draws her veil close about her
face; her dress becomes sornbre; her bonnet
Is iess coquettishly perehed on her head (;
her bigh heels tread the pavement with less
psrtness than usual. During the forty days
when follow the Carnival, she walks rs
though bowed beneath engrOssing refiec-
tons: size breaches inwardly to herself; she
expiates the sin of having lent ready ear 10

a Pittsburg darnsel had very singular
surprise the other day. She lay down to
take nap after dinner, and when she awoke
her hair was all gone. She had heavy
suit of beautiful golden hair, which was her
crownipg glory. the delight of her male
friends, and the envy of her female associ-
stes, OF course. she periulned it with
sweets, trained il in ringlets, and let it hut-
ter in the breeze and simmer in the moon
shine, and made the very most of her luxu-
rant crop. She had it when she went to
sleep; 1t had gone from her like dream,
and her head was almost as bare as 2
barber's pole. She looked as foolish IS
a sheep after shesriug, and felt very
much as if she had nothing to wear. The
crop was evidently gathered by the hand oil
an artist, for the stubble was even as the
nape of velvet. The lady's watch and purse
aud jewelry were all LETT in sight on the
tai Bile where she had laid them. IL was not
money or tTinkets the thief was after. 1t
WIS simply that resplendently beautiful
head-gear. The lady was doubtless dTugged
and plundered. She now fears to 60 TO
sleep, for fear of accidents.
