THOUGHT CHARLEY WAS AFooL.
Fathers Cross-Exsmination and What
He Summed Up.


He summed Up.
In one OF the hotels of the city lives a
well-known and highly-reputable family,
consisting of father (ffty-fiye years, ex-
terror manner stern, but possessing
sense Of humor), mother forty years and
all the virtues) and daughter twenty
years. a beautiful, blushing bud, whose
tempting lips would have made St. An
thony groan at first sight, says the CHI
cago Post.
She (the daughter) is well poised, and
in her capacity TO take care OF herself
she and her mother have perfect conf
dence. And so, mayhap, has the father,
though either because the memory OF
his own youth is still green, or because
his contact with the world has made him
suspicious, the sharp cross-questioning
he gave his daughter few evenings ago
upon her return from a carrlage-rlde
with one OF her adorers permits me to
doubt it.
As this cross-questioning was unin-
tentionally overheard by the occupant of
an adjoining room it would be Unfair TO
mention names.
"My daughter, tho father began in
the caioling tone with which his col
leagues at the bar are familiar, "my
daughter, you have been riding with
young Wildcats ?
Z" Yes, papa" the daughter, with the
soft, sweet voice of a consciously lnno-
cent maiden, replied.
"Nice ride?

"Ahem S'pose so. Closed carriage? ?"
"Yes, indeed, papa. And" the in

"Why. nothing, papa"
" Nothing iil!l!
"Why no, papa"
"Didn't put his arm around

"Why, papa
ANY one who has ever heard q con-

"But did he ?" Papa wanted words,
not tones for replies.
"He DID NOT I"
"Didn't even brush the damask of
your cheek with his moustache ?"
"Oh, papa "
There was a moments silence, punctu-
ated by a sob. Then this cruel papa
continued
"But did be ?"

Another silence some more sobs.

Worllingwomen I'm Paris.


What are the wages paid to female la
Dor in Paris, and what is the cost of
living 4? Three or four trades, or, more
properly, professions, are well paid
comparatiyely but these in fact belong
TO the fine arts. and require natural tai
ent. with careful and expensive training.
SO that they are open TO few.
At the head OF these stands the china
mandatory of Sevres. Candidates can
not hope for admission, even with con-
siderable interest, unless they excel in
drawing and painting, and unless speci-
mems OF their work have been approved
bv the committee OF artists belonging
to the mandatory. But even with re-
markable proficiency without which
competition is impossible, it is
necessary to so through technical
training for at least year, with one Of
the leading artists belonging to the es-
Enlistment, whose lessons are paid for
at the rate of 10f. an hour. When CON-
potent, the work is paid for, according
to its merits, but long practice is neces-
sary TO attain the point when remu-
neration is really good Two female
artists land only two make yearly in
come of 2,000f., (eS0@ the others can
only earn between /, 200f. and l,50Of.
they ell work at home, and consequently
must provide food and lodging.
The male artists are better paid, and
work at the mandatory after thirty
years OF service they have a retiring
pension, which is not granted to women.
The reason given is the compare
tive inieriority of female work,
and especially the deficiency Of i'm
agination and creative power.
Women copy well but cannot originate.
This is noticed in all artistic trades, such
as designing patterns for shawls and
stufTs, wood engraving for periodicals
or illustrated books. The latter requires
an apprenticeship of three years, and
the purchase of tools and materials cost
ing about 25f. ; the profit seldom exceeds
Of. day.
Designers of stufls may get ST. day

sary, and an outfit of instruments cost

her to write something for him and then
became afraid that was it going to be q
little too highly favored. so out he went

her dogs and smoking as if it were the

her:

would write this story so that 1t would

Very quickly the cigarette was thrown

who happened to refer TO the novelist

sec that the professor did not under

"Oh, oh, yes" was the answer.

English Railroads an Invasion.
n. nAIa -. all AIa q rlraa


An invading force OF $50, 900 men was
assumed to be disembarking between
Southend and Shoeburyness, and hostile
vessels were simultaneously ascending
the Blackwater river to land strong de-
tachment at Stangate Abbey. lnstruc-
tons were supposed to have been
telegraphed to concentrate 100, OOO
men on the line OF Stanford-le-
Hope, Billericay, and Chelmsford, with
view to occupy the Basildon position
and repel the invader, three corps to be
brought up as quickly as possible, and
the rest within forty-eight hours. The
particulars were gwen as to where the
troops were stationed all over the coun-
try, and the nuEab,r OF men at each
place. ,
In due time the problem was solved
