NOTES FROM PARIS.

miscellaneous Personal and Othor Gossip
OF tho Day.
/ Correspondence OF tho Morning Call.
PARIS, Oct. 2.--Orter areigns in
Warsaw. Tho Royalists have had
their banquets, and tho Republic OK
lists still In Paris, 1910 adorers of
HIS COMING MAJESTY
sat down to twenty dinners in as many
quarters Of the city. There was even
ono workman present, so that, in the
address to tho Count dc Chamborl, he
was assured that the an,iable faubourgs
were rallyin5 to tbeWhitc flag. For
twenty years, tho Count do Chambord
has been promising his adhcrents to
::sUon be in The midst of thcm." The
only new facts made known, connect
cd with the St. NlichacImas ceremony,
arc that the Comtc de Chambord loves
billiards, as docs NJ. Gr6vy, u common
President ofa Republic, and that he
delights in q quiet rubber, like an
anntlitnm Of tho class that never dies,
or an Indian pcnsioncr. The annual
dinner was preceded in the morning
by the customary masses for His
Mnjcsty's health aud speedy coming.
And to think that praying and burn
ing vOtivc tapcrs has been going on
for fifty years, and that Henri Wand
his white flag arc us distant as over
from restoration.
SO SOON FORGOTTEN.
Not syllable about NJ. dc Frovcinct ::
he is as if he had never existed, and
yet a fortnight has barely elapsed
since his name was n household word !;
indeed, the walls of the city arc cover
cd with tho last speech he delivered,
and which proved his death warrant.
Many OF the posters arc so fresh that
some people stop to read them, be-
licving them to be his explanations.
RETURNED WARRIORS.
The militiamcn have returned to
their iircsidcs, not ut all grumbling
after doing the State some twenty
eight days service. The now system
appears to be almost as old as tho
hills, so rapidly has tho nation fallen
into the organization, but then the
plan is simplicity itself, and as there
is no fayoritcism, so there is no dis
content. When tho militia were first
called out, q few years ago. families
accompanied the father, son, brother
or husband, as il he wcro setting out
for real war. They went to welcome
his return, and not q few followed the
manDuvrcs OF tho Corps PArmtc to
supply Il curlcd darling with creature
comforts, where such could be snug
glcd. All that is changed. There are
no scenes either at the departure or
the return, and the comic journals
cannot even find matter now for a
skit.
VINTAGE PARTIES
arc very fashionable. 1t is considered
obligatory for the proprietor Of Il vine
yard to reside on his estate, to super
intend with guests tho operation Of
gathering and pressing the grapes,
and the fermentation of tho Juice
When tired Of these Bacchjan opera
tons, shooting parties can break the
monotnny. The first bottle Of new, or
"swcct' wine is toasted with all hon
ors-of course, with last seasons
vintage. There is nothing romantic
III Wine makinS-nothing to recall a
god or goddess. The men in the wine
press do not suggest Bacchus, they
arc as proS:,;c as bakers antl~us thinlv
dressed. Like cooking and politics,
tho operation ought not to bc seen too
near.
TIE TIME FOR NEW DRESSES.
Ladies are busily occupied with
their drcss-makcrs, and find the most
agreeable Of visits 10 consist in drop
to their Warcr0Oms to view or to COM
mnnd new wardrobe g|ories. 1t is q
rendezvous ever in favor, and q gale
ry where Balzac could find endless
modcls-did his supply ever fall short
for his Human Comedy; whilc for
ciGn ladies, and those hailing from the
middle classes, come arraycd in Dllr-
pic aud fine linen, the groiin-which
is superior TO the creme tic Ia creme Of
socicty-is distinguished by simplicity
toilets in plain woollcns. The arriv-
al OF al actress or some far famed lady
is Il godscnd. a glance sufliccs to
count the number of her plaits, to
make 81 valuation Of her jcwclry, to
penetrate her veil to see if she paints.
10 note her smile or tho brilliancy Of
her eyes. In the absence ola :'sta:,"
4 ncwly-marricd lady will prove an
acceptable substitute. Occasionally q
member oftlc other Sex steals in, rs q
chnrcron for some friend, to demand
Oh some prctcncc information, to take
Il survey Of the beauties, or make
sleeps eyes to a Kate Nickicby.
KILLING TIE SWALLOWS.
The Protect of Marscillcs has GOT
into hot water by his ukasc allowing
swallows 10 be shot, as compensation
tor the pcnury of game. Up to tho
present Italy has had the monopoly Of
killing the good Gods Birds" to
convert them into pies. II is the lean
est aud dryrst Of birds to cat. .Michclct
observed that the swallow, taken in
the hand and examined closely, is ugly
and strange. 1t has wings like a
Scylhc, prominent eyes, no neck and
very little in the way of feet. All is
sacrificed TO wing, 10 movement. All
space belongs to it, because il is forced
TO be on the wing to catch the numcr-
Gus insects on which it feeds, or to die
Of starvation. 1t is n guardian of
space, and in issuing license to kill,
the Pretcct virtually destroys u public
i,mctionary.
