TRoUvuLE
Trouvine is an old town running down the
side of hill to magnificent and smooth beach
of fine sand. 1t must have been the beach that
recommended Trouville to the fashionables,
who have taken it to themselves and lined 1t
with one row Of fine villas which are nearly
mansions. Besides these there are three really
great hotels, one casino, numerous bath houses
and souvenir shops, one cafe concert and Q
couple of open-air restaurants on the beach.
reads, and the rest Of the town is like dull
Norman village and might be twenty miles away
for all the difference it would make.
The beach of Trouville is several miles long
and is notably deep, sloping gently at low tide
for more than half a mile to the sea, with q fall
Of not more than eight feet. This makes the
bathing wonderfully safe. When we Ameri-
cans read of the gayeties Of Trouville it is i'm
portant TO understand in what sense the word is
used. 1t is not difficult to call mp the picture Of
a magnificent beach. lined with gaily painted
bathing machines and bath houses. Promenading
this beach or clinging to the ropes in the surf
should be the distracting beauties Of Paris re-
vealed in the chicness Of costumes not quite

They Know How TO Dress.

may be heather, but they have more common
sense in apparel than al Of us good Christians

gentry standing at the corner Of Madison and

HE wore no band about his shirt and no

You and I have from twenty to twenty-five
thicknesses Of cloth close about our jugulars,

know suicide to be sinful, don't they? Then
how dare they choke themselves in blistering
weather. And the Chinaman isn't idiot enough
to elinch his undergarments to his back with
perspirstiou-producine suspenders, nor wear
his shirt inside his trousers. He affects cool
sandals and light hats, and in all shows superb
regard for his safety. Next to following the

Ironing Al Ereaco-

"one Of the problems incidental to going
away in the summer is washing" said WASH
ington matron. $50 far as handkerchiefs are
concerned, have solved it. I wash them out
for myself with soap and water. How do get
them ironed? Oh, very simply. I take each
clean wet handkerchief, after wringing it out,
and spread it perfectly fat over a window pane,
to which it adheres. When it Is entirely
dry I remove it, and il looks then as il il had
been very decently ironed. II there is not q
convenient window pane that is large enough
for the purpose. it does just well to spread
the handkerchief upon the mirror, only that the
window-pane process bleaches the mouchoir
while it is driving. I do not suggest this
plan of mine as o substitute for the ordinary
household method Of preparing handkerchief,
but it does admirably whef Q washerwoman Is
not at hand or at any time when handkerchiefs
run short. II one has q bad cold such . scheme
may save great deal Of discomfort"

HONFLETR.

From Sainte-Addresse to Trouville is longer
distance socially than it is geographically. The
route by way Of Honheur is charming. Hon
feur is an ancient seaport town, picturesquely
situated on the left bank and at the mouth Of
the Seine. 1t exports large quantities Of eggs,
poultry. vegetables and fruit to England. 1t
has greatly declined since the foundation of
Has1e. and also owing to the sitting of its har-
Dor. BUTT was an important place when Havre

sailed With his feet from this neighborhood TO

slopes gently for ten miles to Trouville. 1t is

Special Correspondence Of The Evening Star.
TRoUvrLLE. July q, 1892.
There are three ways Of getting to Trou-
Vile. The first is by direct rail from Paris.
the second is direct by steamer from Havre
and the third is by steamer from Havre across
the mouth Of the Seine to Honfeur and by .
carriage drive Of ten miles along the Norman
coast. The latter route is naturally the most
pleasing.
Havre itself is large city and q great port.
But, apart from the merry, haif-csmping- out
life below the cliffs at Sainte-Addresse, there is
little of the seaside resort about it The Hotel
Frascati. on the beach, does what it can to at
tract guests 1t has provided casino and q
theatsr, both attached TO the house, and it
makes the most Of a small stony beach De-
spite the comfort attainable at the Frascati, its
patrons seem to be confined to travellers,
largely Americans, waiting for the Transatlantic
boats, invalids and the overflow from Trouville.
At Sainte-Addresse, one-half mile above
Havre. the life is democratic and without care.
The people who summer here occupy the tiniest
wooden boxes. gaily painted and planted directly
on the beach. These little chalets have most
often only two rooms each. the front one being
open to the air. Each has its name in large let
ters-''Chalet des Rosters, t" Belle Brise, and
20 on-whie the most extravagant of the lot in
paint, design and decoration is happily labeled,
"A Mon Idee." Many Of these cottagers live
in Havre. and only occupy their seaside houses
of SUNDAY or other holiday. Then a dinner is
given and so many guests are crowded into the
open front room that il Is matter Of skill to seat
ones self at the table which. leaves place for
scarcely anything else. Here they will sit with
their friends. their children and their little
dogs and birds and sing, drink. talk and eat
until the sun goes down crimson into the
western sea-

Got the Best Of the Glazier.

From the Chicago News.
There is just now triumphant little lady on
Dearborn avenue near Chicago avenue and only
q block away is q glazier who is suffering the
horrors Of defeat.
In thu Dearborn avenue house were two
broken window panes. One Of these was en-
tirely destroyed and the other had only small
corner broken of. The glazier was sent for to
replace them.
Now the lady had two small pictures in need

workman the big pane Of glass was gone.

had disappeared.
They were outwitted. Justice Kersten was
appealed to to recover the property under o
criminal warrant. 1t wouldn't stick. Then
the little woman decided to bide hsr time. It
came.
Three mornings later the glazier's boy rang
the bell. Did the glazier leave . hammer there

.Oh, yes" replied the landladv, stoutly.
The glszier needed 1t very badly.

Ten minutes later the boy was 1t the door

'Tell your boss ! was mistaken-he didn't
leave his hammer herer' And the door closed
with bang.
Later II was learned that the hammer was
