PAR1s. October ISL you have not
seen the French capital &C the hour
when the work-a-day populace Is "let
loose" from the DAYS occupation you
can't appreciate the real sense Of con-
QlOmerate exhllaratiOn. However weary
these busy folks are, when they join
the great jostlng throng they become
inspired with q peculiarly careless gleo.
But they are not disorderly in the least
degree. Then is the time for lovers to
exchange a few blisSful words with each
other. A frequent sight is a pair OF
these plutOnic individuals cuddled to-
Qether on q boulevard bench, billing
and cooling. i have the privilege Of
surprising that a day Of hard work With
such a delightful conclusion isn't az al
a bad business.
The city is In fall glow Of gayety.
Residents and visitors are up to their

Prince Albert Of Waldeck-PYrmont

with material for gossip. he is known
and beloved in the city In aristOcratic
circles to his last dollar. A few years
ago his royal relatives presented this

tral tree with the castle Of

These, having lost an patience, sent In
their little bills 70 the prince. who could
not pay them. The princess, his vile,
refused 70 pay her husbands debts, so
there were bOisterous scenes at the
castle Of Pepperyilie. Even the staff
halter in his place at Strausburg
was besieged Oy the princes cred
itors. IL was then decided TO not
pay the prOdigaPs bills, but to
punish him. His name was taken OH

francs, with debts for 400, 900 francs.
Since that cruel doing Prince Albert
has been living by means Of all kinds OF
experiments. He has been buying
horses on credit and selling them for

TICKLE AND WICKED.
Last Rasou the lovely Nine. Du Boise

teemed and much talked about in
fashionable news" She is now an OBJ

u d Nine. Du Boise were staying at a
seaside place, where they made the
acquaintance az an American woman, a
widow with three charming children.
The husba nd soon became much en-
amOred of petrangere, who was very
ugly, and az the end Of the month they
disappeared az the same time. The de-
serted wife received the following la
comic letter shortly afterwards my
dear: As you no longer please me, ana
going away with Madame L." 10 which
an equally briof reply from the out
ragged wife was sent: "Bon voyage"
LIGHT TURNED on THE MYSTERY.
It is said that the mysterious falling"
OF the Queen Of ROumania was not so
much caused by the death Of her little
daughter as by a domestic affair.
Before becoming an authoress Queen
Elizabeth, then only Princess OF ROu-
mania, was a charming woman, the
most fascinating even among the be-
wltching ladies Of her little ROumaniau
court. avec, yeux noirs, graceful, wit
ty and coQuettish, reminding one very
much OF g BarisenRe, though, 10 general,
prettier She adored her husband,
a stiff Hohenzollern, who seemed TO re-
spond well enough 20 this love. -Four
years ago their little girl died and the
mother became desperately respondent
over her afliction.
1t Is now whispered about that one
night she felt more troubled than ever.
Her bed was q couch Of thOrnS, she
could not be quiet, so she got up.
Wrapping herself in one OF those long,
white, soft garments which she likes so
much, she went out OF her room, gllded
softly along the passage which led TO
the Princes apartment, and was going
10 enter, when she found the door locked.
She hesitated a second, bat was on the
point OF knocking, when the murmur
of two voices struck her ear the voice
OF her husband and another which she
knew well-that Of her "best friend"
The noise Of a fall startled the prince,
who came TO the door and opened 10.
His wife was lying on the threshold
quite insensible. A few days afterward
a crisis came, and a dead little thing
WAS bOrn, who would have been boy
and heir 70 the throne OF Roumania.
