a depended entirely upon themselves.
n Paris is very gay. | read in book many
wears ago that Paris was a very gay city,
#and thought then that if | ever visited the
place personally would speak of that feat
Xnre | reside at the corner of the Bourse
and the Rue de Hester street, Northwest.
81 In Is quiet neighborhood. More so than
In was some years ago. France at that time
engaged in lettering on her throne. The
&air was filled with apprehension. Napoleon
swas attracting attention in all its papers.
Holm Darrms and dynasties rocked to and
fro. Paris was wild with excitement, war
twaged its wild desolation, food became ex-
5 tensive and wild-eyed, panic-stricken Paris
ate up one livery stable after another.
Now peace and prosperity hover over the
war-scarred city. Beautiful bare-headed
Streets, and well-dressed French gentlemen
with good lJdder under their vests snap
their fingers at dull care and sit up till
e 0:30 o'clock. Whether the French initiate
New York or New York initiates the
French, l cannot tell, but of one thing
hm absolutely certain, and that is that
cannot tell the difference without hearing
the CONVEX sation. The prosperous French
man this summer wears a pointed board
hnd the very tough looking Daniel Webster
plug hat seen on Broadway sometimes. 1t
the rockiest looking hat ever saw, but
u is gaining in favor every moment, am
forry to say. The brim is straight and
wide, and, on the whole, it is about as pic
turesque as bee-gum struck bya club. If
We're to put one on and wear it across the
Missouri river would be justly and right
eously hanged before night.
The young French women are generally
sRs pretty as young American girls, l
believe and that is saying good deal for
x France, but the elderly French women are
& pot so picturesque, must say. There are
TOO many of them who wear whiskers. The
s bearded lady in a sideshow would not at
4 frac- attention in Paris, and am told that
hany elderly French women shave. Ihope
they have better luck with BARRIERS than l
pad in Havre. AT the Hotel de rEurope l
sent out for barber by using some board

Il Lately, in the language of R. G. Inger-
fOll, it does not take me so long to comb
ny hair, but a good deal longer to wash
by face than it used to. A young man

arty and partly on the inside of it. After
