INSPECTORS FoILED AGAIN.

I'VE were all lubIlant, and the chief IN
spectOr who had made tue seizure, went
home and told his wife what a beautiful
sealskin saeque he was going to buy her.
The next day when ! reached my Office the
first thing | reached for was d big envel-
ope from the appraiser. containing A state
ment Of the value of the diamonds. We
had variously estimated them the day be-
fore at from 100000 to 500 900. When |
opened the envelope and read the official
appraisement you could have knocked me
over with feather This is what he said
The forty-nine diamonds you sent for APP
Draisement are made of glass. Their net
value is about seventy-hve cents.
II could not help admiring the fellow S
cleverness. He hal written the anony-
nous letter himself, of course. and had en-
trapped us completely We never thought
Of looking in the hand bag be carried, and
be had walked off with his diamonds. We
had to let him so free again.
We'll, sir, it was two months after this

Rren king in Norlherners.

In New Orleans formerly" said lady from Louisiana who accompanied the congressional party that visited Detroit short time ago to Free Press reporter, ''the cid traditions of French society prevailed. Young women never went out in the street after they were sixteen years old without an escort. They never went without their mothers to the theatre nor riding, nor were they allowed to sit with young men in the parlor un- less their mothers were present. I remember a young fellow from Balti- more invited young woman to the opera She said she would be most happy to go. When he came in a car riage her father and mother cane downstairs and got into the carriage with her. He was surprised but sup posed they were going on their own account On arriving at the theatre he found that they did not intend to pay for their tickets, and he had not money enough. Luckily he saw friend from whom he borrowed, but you can imagine his modification at being caught In such scrape. He in- vited no more young women to the opera He couldn't afford to take the whole family. Another northern gen. tleman asked a young lady to ride and went around to the house with horse and buggy. Where's your carriagep asked the young woman. There it is, said he. But that won't hold us all she exclaimed mamma and you and men So he had to go and get car riage and driver. As he had sala- ry of only 5000 year he found this sort of thing too expensive. Be- sides he never got any fun out of it with the mother sitting by and listen- ing to every word he said"

Marie Antoinette,~ Slipper.

In an old French household in New York the most carefully cherished heirloom is a slipper which was worn by Marie Antoinette in the last days before the French revolution. It was one of the precious relics in the bag gage of a court lady who fled with her husband to Louisiana when the storm broke. She left the tiny, blue, faded slipper to her daughter. with the in- junction that it should go down in the family to the eldest daughter. if she never allowed herself to have corns.
 It is a pretty slipper and has been carefully kept in the jewel case of one French woman after another. so that it is perfectly preserved.
 It is short, very narrow and very high-heeled. and is a hrocaded blue. lined with soft white silk. The sole is of coarse-grained leather and there are three satin straps over the instep fastened with paste buckle.
 The pointed toe is embroidered with silver threads and the edges are bound with silver braid
 He cohultloh feHarulll1 us inherit ance has always been strictly adhered to- The women of the house have taken great care of their feet that they might rightfully claim the unhappy queens slipper, and for 100 years there has not been a pinching shoe worn in that family.
 A relic of this sort would be boon in a good many households fl it had the effect of inducing the daughters to abandon the tight boots. which injure not only their feet but their gait and carriage.
