RENTING JYPEWRITERs.
The Business Is Profitable, Although Many
OF the Machines Are stolen,

There are probably a dozen places in
this city where she business of renting
new and secondhand typewriters is car
ried on. Most of these concerns do an ex-
cellent business, and many of their lists
OF machines out on rental average from
$50 to 200 names. Nearly all the ma
chimes rented are those of a high grade
which have been tested by experience in
business Offices and in shorthand schools.
\ strictly new typewriter seldom rents
FOR less than 50 a month, while one that
is only slightly damaged brings 81 a
month. = machine that can be hired for
50 is considered fit for only plug oper-
ator, and such Jypcwritcrs are rented
rarely.
There are upward of 20 shorthand and
typewriting schools regularly conducted
in this city, with classes of from 10 to 20c
students. This does not include the pub
lie day and evening schools, numerous
public libraries and general educational
institutions where such things are taught
and scores of private Instructors all over
the city. Typewriter manufacturers in
many instances supply schools with com
plece outfits of their own machines free of
charge as means Of increasing the num-

THE DAINTY PkRISlENNE.
A Cr.ature Gifted With All the super
fetal Graces Which Charm Men.

THE ParisienneS are born comedians, 4"
said an althor of the last century, and
this is the description he gives of true
Parisienne: To be or to become a Parish
enne q woman must be a gormand, ca
PRECIOUS, ambitious and a coquette. She
begins to live only toward evening. At
II she is a. her zenith. She knows moth
ing, not even how to make cup of tea,
but she serves her sickly beverage with SO
much grace and her Sevres cups are So
transparent and so exquisite that you love
It and love her
When the Parisienne gives a dinner
party, she thinks of the flowers and the
fruit and leaves the rest 10 her cook, so
sure Is she 20 mend a bad dish with "a bon
mot. Her beauty, which is problcmatic
and has nothin. to do with the type pre-
ferred by the sculptor, lasts her a quarter
of a century, this because the beauty of
the Parisienne is the beaute du diable, and
the devil never gets old She knows how
to sit, 70 get up, to kneel, how TO do ev
erything. for she never forgets her role and
is always on the stage. She has studied
herself in all positions, full face, side face
and ee-quarter face, and she knows
what she can do without losing an inch of
her charm and when to stop in time.
If she has wisp of hair moving about,
or dangling on her forehead, or sticking
up above her coils, do not say, Il beg your
pardon, madame, your hair is out Of or
der, for this wisp has been studied and
arranged, and where il is and how it dan
giles ii is meant to be and to dangle. On
her face is the suggestion Of all beauties
but none is perfect. She reflects the
white snow Of the north and the sun rays
Of the south. She has the quiet eye Of the
American and the dreamy look Of the Rus
sian. She is clean and dainty like the
English as lively as a gypsy of Seville or
FlOrentine signOra. All is hers, Wit,
charm, artistic coquetry, easincss of man
ners, kindness and mischievouSness. Eli
Their as a duchess, miiliner, actress, circus
rider, tanner of beasts or of men, she is
always the Parisicnne and always has
been, a creature stamped at her birth by an
angel and by devil, both of them having
left their seal on her.

The expenditures of account Of nay Of
