THE WOMEN OF PARIS.
Strong Protest in Behalf of the Wives and
Mothers of France.
Jules Simon in Fortnightly Review.

MOlnSrs VI
Jules Simon in Fortnightly Review.
Do not trust our newspapers. Above
all, shun those journals which pretend to
describe society. The society that they
know, the only society that they can de-
scribe, is not society at all; it is Bo-
hernia. They talk, it is true, of a live
duchess, but they have only seen
their duchess from a distance. She
was IN her box; they were all away be-
low in the stalls. The woman whom
they really know is Marguerite Gautier,
and it is Marguerite to whom they as
sign the ducal name. Most frequently
they do not even take the trouble to find
a fictitious trademark for their wares;
they furnish you, without disguise, with
the scandal of the world of pleasure, a
perfect series of orgies, bacchanalia of
courtesans.
There is no more amusing madcap than
the Partisan courtesan, and no more
sensible and charming person than the
Partisan woman. The two exist in two
distinct worlds, and have nothing in
common except their hats. We have, at
the outside, 20O0 or 5000 of the madcaps,
reckoning in that number those who are
on the border line and who have one foot
in each of the two worlds. It is a large
number, but only think what host of
foreigners come TO us. And yet the
madcaps attract more attention than our
500 200 viFtuous Partisan women and our
20 900 600 virtuous French women.
Foreigners are not the only persons
who make mistake about this matter.
In France itself the novel makes such a
fuss that many Frenchmen fancy that the
one class of women is the other.

ST. PAUL, MINI. Feb. 11.-John s :.
Barnes of this city who recently returned
from trip to England, where he went
to take possession of property bequeathed
him, says: DR.. Lecaron, or Beach, who
is now testifying in London, was his fell
low passenger on the outward trip in
December. During the voyage Barnes
was thrown much into Lecaron's COM
pany and soon came TO regard him as q
confidence man. Lecaron had heard
of Barnes good fortune and, to use the
latter's words, tried to work him
for a sucker Barnes denounced him
but Lecaron did not take the affront as
an insult, but tried to laugh the matter
off, treating Mr.. Barnes during the rest of
the journey as man who thoroughly un-
derstood him Barnes describes Lecaron
to be an entertaining conversation
alist and one of the smoothest' men
of his class he ever met This statement
as TO date of Lecaron IS departure from
America for Europe, December s. is fiat
contradiction of Miss Beach, sister of
Lecaron, who stated her brother arrived
in England shortly before the death of
their father in November last.

The Reign of the Mustache.
The Hair Dresser


About ten years ago a hairless, satur-
nine and clever man in the Carlton club
in London, announced that wearing
mustaches was bad form The state
ment was made with great solemnIty
in the course OF speech which the
club man delivered at a banquet
where Labourche CHANGED TO be
a guest A short time after this
the editor made the mustaehe series of
caustlc observations in his paper, and
announced solemnly that the musfache
would have to go, as it was no longer in
good form. Whether the discussion
meant anything or not is problem, but
it caught the fancy of mankind with
grip compared to which the everlasting
question OF whether marriage is q failure
or not sinks out of sight.
Sc much is said about the correctness of
appearing in society circles without
mustache that the statement readily
gained credit that wearing mustaches had
to be dropped out Of fashionable life in
England. A thorough paced investiga-
ton of the English capital proved the
falslty of all this. London men have
sacrificed the short side whiskers that once
adorned their faces, but they cling to
the muStacne with tenaelty that moth
ing can cut The abiding horror of
a man 3 life that he will be mistaken for
a waiter at an evening party is some
what relieved by the fact that walters
are not allowed to wear mustaches and
gentlemen are. The reason that short
clipped side whiskers went was because it
was essentially Hibernian. Such facial
adoFnments were spoken of as Galways
and this was too much for the British
mind
As far as this country is concerned the
impression seems to be that if man can

raise mustache no power on earth can
persuade him to shave it of. If 3 man
cannot have the sort of a mustache he
wants he usually takes the sort that
comes to him by right of nature. A
good deal of coercion is used on the quiet
with refractory mustaches, but they are
no longer curled, put up in papers over
night, creased, waxed or otherwise
abused.
The era of simplicity has affected the
mustache as well as the rest of man 8
general makeup. No man who pretends
to be at all in the swim wears the flowing
side whiskers TO which Dundreary gave
his name, and boards which were popu-
lariZed by the prince of Wales few
years ago have gone out of fashion. No
wonder, for the prince himself has abon-
doned them, and he now wears his beard
pointed and clipped close to his face.
Boulanger has set the fashion for Europe
in this respect, and the crown prince of
Great Britain is more or less Of an imi-
tator of the French upstart.
