HOW BISMARCK WON HIS BRIpx

Loved Her on Sight and Took Her With .
Sounding Kiss in Public.
At the time of her marriage the gfri who
is now Bismarck's wife relinquished name
which would not have misbecome the hero
Inc of q Bah Ballad-von PuttkammeH
writes the Countess Wilhelmina in Ladies'
Home Journal The Fraulein Johanna was
a most charmingly sweet and modest coun-
try maiden-in spite of her name-when at
the wedding of one Of her friends, at which
she was bridesmaid, she met young Herr
Otto Won Bismarck, strapping, dissipated,
high-hsnded young dandy of 81, with .
reputation for fre-eating and airtations
which would scarcely have disgraced q
Kentucky colonel of twice his years. These
two young people, as Rosalind says, "No
sooner met they than they looked, no
sooner looked than they loved"
Hence it was that Immediately on his re-
turn from the wedding young Otto wrote to
the parental Puttkammers, with whom, by
the wav, he had not the slightest acquaint-
ancc, demanding the hand of the Fraulein
johanna in marriage. The paternal Putt
hammer seems to have been somewhat of
diplomatist, for without committing him
self to either consent or refusal, after
learing from his daughter that she cared for
young Otto, he wrote, inviting that estimable
young gentleman to visit him. Prepara-
tions were made to have his reception one of
becoming solemnity and dignity; but the
effect was rather spoiled by young Bismarck
the moment he alighted going up to his
sweetheart and kissing her soundly in pres
ence of number of guests. The immediate
effect of this embarrassing and shocking
behavior was the prompt announcement of
the betrothal, which was followed year
later, by the marriage.

wonderful hsrvret," said travelling passen-
ger agent of one of the leading roads in
America, ''but the figures will soon con-
vince the most skeptical that the project is
a losing one to the companies, and every
one would dispense with the dining car
service if they only could 1t is the great
competition existing between the different
roads and the desire on the part of the pub
lie for rapid transit that forces the COM
panies to place dining cars on their through
trains All of the great trunk line roads
are putting on faster and faster trains every
month.
Gas soon as one company puts on train
that will cove. the distance between any
two important points quicker than the other
roads can then all the rest of the roads set
to work to reduce the time, and inside of
two or three months some other road will
announce a train that will make the dis
tance in 10, 80, 45 minutes or IN hour faster
than its rival. And so it goes. If any of
those fast trains should stop 20 minutes at a
station where dining hall is then the trains
with the dining cars attached would reach
the point of destination ali the way from
40 minutes to an hour earlier. and the re-
suit would be that they would carry the
majority of the travelling public. 1t is not
cheap meals the people who travel on rail-
roads want so much to-day as rapid trans
portation. Last year the Pullman Car Com
pany served 100000 meals on their dining
cars, and profits realized did not pay per
cent upon the investment. A leading West
ern road last year lost $50, 900 on the dining
car service"

from "a to 48 cents dozen. The chooses
are delicious, especially the little Swiss
cheeses to which American palates accustom
themselves much more quickly than the
German varieties and they are very cheap.
Can Buy In Small Quantities.
All these articlas are sold in such small
quantities that the picnicking household is
readily accommodated. Eggs are sold by
the piece. Butter comes in little packages
of quarter of q pound, each daintily done
up in soft paper. Little cheeses just large
enough for cnes dessert are put up in paper
all ready for serving.
The experiment we have made convinces
us that it is not more expensive than the
same kind of living would be in any city in
America and that it is much more feasible
here than there. Washing is cheap and
beautifully done, though the clothes
soon succumb to the fluids used.

Vegetables are cheap-2 cents will buy
enough of the whitest, crispest celery fo-
SIX persona Three cents will buy an enor-
nous head of tender caulihower. Every
thing else in proportion.
Fruit is not so cheap as with us, but bet
ter. AT no time this fall have fine peaches
sold at less than cents apiece. In the
good restaurants they cost from IL to 20
cents each. Plums, which are of unequaled
flavor, are the cheapest fruit We have
had Strawberries all the fall at 20 cents
litre, but they lacked flavor. Oranges are
plenty and the prices about the same as at
home. Bananas are rare, almost unknown
to the common people. Our landlady
brought us in plateful not long ago which
some Egyptian boarder had just received
from home She explained to us with great
care that we were not to eat the skins.
Green fgp are abundant in the markets, but
not inviting to American palates. The
dried figs and raisins are delicious and
cheap-20c cents pound for figs and 27 cents
for Malaga raisins Nuts, too, are especial
ly fine. We miss our little chestnuts, but
find the big Italians not bad substitute.

The Prices at the Restau aurants.
Lunch and dinner can be disposed of in q

cheap and respectable restaurants, where
meal tickets can be bought al from % to 30
cents each. Such tickets gave soup, meat,
vegetable and dessert course, bread la dis
cretion and bottle of wine or milk. In the
Latin quarter these restaurants are
haunted by the students. There
are. of course, numerous restaurants of
high grade where one can order a la carte.
At first American eyes blink little in all
these places. There is sawdust on the floor,
wine on the tables cigarettes in half the
mouths, but if one lives in Paris he must
see many queer things.

he will find the truth of the first part of the

But here were fees and fires extra Besides
like the American boarding house, the
Partisan pension soon becomes a frightful
bore. You are in unusual luck if its inmates
are interesting, bright, or companionable.
And YOU are bound to encounter more OF
less ill-nature and gossip. After the pen
sion, comes the French family, where for
from 81 upward comfortable quarters csn
be had but French families, like American
families, are not always entertaining. One
may, often does, find charming place at
even less than 81 day, but very rarely.
We did not care on investigation to run the
risk. Instead, we decided to rent
rooms and to combine system Of mild
housekeeping with meals at cafes-a kind of
picnicking, which, if it has its disadvantages,
has Its Bohemian delights, its funny adven-
tUres and its fascinating experiences.
Hunting Up Apartments.
The first thing to 90 in setting up was to
find quarters Rooms in the Latin quarter,
where we wanted to go, are not easy to find.
For three days we marched upstairs and then
marched down again, unable to find any,
thing which would satisfy our modest purses
and OUT three ultimatums-aba balcony,a clean
smell and a respectable landlady. At the
end of the third day we compromised on
the first ultimatum, substituting window
seat and-settled. We had taken the half of
an apartment, salon. bedrooms, closet and
kitchen The apartments in which all the
Partisan world lives are complete
suites of rooms corresponding to our
flats. They are finished usually
in good taste ind sometimes in real ele-
gance. They are very convenient as
Partisan ideas go. Of course they never
have q bathroom, and the kitchens are
Just large enough to hold the range, the
sink, and the cook. but they are very
pleasant places to live in nevertheless, and
in them you are as completely shut away
from your neighbors as living in a separate
house.
A modest apartment, unfurnished, would
rent for $3.50 year; furnished, its rent
would be from e400 to $500. Apartments
which are very neat and comfortable can
be found at $50 year unfinished A
single furnished front room of any size can
not be had for less than SO month
When we examined the pretty fresh apart
ments our fingers burned to sign a contract
for one of them and to dip into our purses

in Paris. Ii is another thing to get out of
it. Your contract binds you for three
months, and you must, as rule, give notice
that you are going to leave three months
ahead. This means six months at least in
the apartment. The last half of the time is
often made uncomfortable by the petty per-
tecutions Of landlord and concierge, who,
when they know you are to leave, can
neglect you with safety.
Everything is arranged in Paris to make
q Bohemian life easy and possible. If you
rent furnished rooms the bonne (chamber |
maid) takes care of them, blacks your
boots and runs your errands, and the
service is included in the rent, though oc-
casional fees are expected If you want
