Madame the wife of the proprietor. is
a woman Of fine presence. with an air
of dignity tempered with good will
When some experienced old maid, the
scourge of European pensions for
twenty years, begins her harangue
against the breezy ways of some of
these American girls i'll their first days
of Continental living, madame has her
ans wer ready: Il find the young girls
charming They are unaffected and
think no evil. ] prefer them to diff
cult women.
In this pension there is one fine big
blonde from out some western capital.
Each night in the blue-gray Paris au-
tumn cleaning she celebrates her tri-
umphs OF the day, whether they be of
the Louvre, of the -Chapelle, the
Bon Marche or Sevres or Pere-Lachase,
by singing After the Ball. to her
own accompaniment at the piano IN
rich contralto voice. The salon rings
with song. Our old maid shifts and
walks away. and then the blonde sits
placidly beside riekety but highly
ornamental brazen lamp stand and be-
gins to read her Baedeker. II only
sing to drive that dear old creature
out She says. she was just about
to begin her lecture on the art treas
ures of Paris and how we should strive
to utilize our time
This pension lies in the heart of that
new and rich quarter of Paris which
has come to be called American. In
Paris all the houses are apartment
houses. Here they are handsome and
regular. about six stories high. They
are built of a creamy-white stone. so
soft when it is first quarried that it
may be carved with penknife. Ex-
posture to the weather hardens and
darkens It. and the bluc-gray haze OF
Paris spring. autumn and winter
weather gives il yet more sober hue.
There is great regularity in height,
construction and decoration, which
conduces to the dignity of the
streets. One Of the special marks
of these houses is the ever-present
iron and stone balcony around the
windows of the first floor tour second
or third floorl and often on each floor
above. These are the airing places of
the denizens. Below it is the asphalt
sidewalk and the asphalt street, on
which the apartment houses wide and
high portes-cocheres yawn throughout
the daytime.

walnuts and eggs. lay in masses all over the
street. In one open cellar they were ten feet
deep Many old roofs collapsed under the loads
