Skating Matinees said to lie All the Rage
In Fashionable Paris.
Skating matinces are all the rage in
Paris and mere theatrical afternoons for
the nonce neglected. The ice palaces are
splendid places, tho ceilings pale blue.
and floors, of course, are white-blue ice.
For those who wish to play audience there
is tho promenade circlIng the skating sur
face, n promenade which has its decora-
tive stores, its coy seats and rcfrcshment
tables, making IL handy as n cafe or
lounging place. The afternoon is the
fashionable season. Tho morning price
OF GO cents is now raised TO 81 for these
hours of high society. The very walters
busy with mixed drinks, swell and de-
mean themselves with even moro pro-
dIgious dignity, because Princess Eulalia
Is now skating, because Lord DuiTerin is
going round and round.
II is a brilliant sight, this gathering to-
eether OF happy people in n healthful OK
crcise, bu; II is dimmed a little by Hcllic's
caustIc observations. 1.-TWO things" he
says, "are noticeable. First, how the la
dies go for strong crinks-sours, cocktails
and the other burners. There was time
when IL was thought bad form in Paris to
take the American connections. just now
1t is highly chic. The circle of small la
bles round the ice is handy to the prone
naders and the skaters. Each lady, each
young bud of society, has her stiff drink
upon a table where her mother sits. or
chaperon, or friend.
The second obser walton has to do with
the attendants, skating masters. very Gle.
CANT in dark green fancy suits, all edged
with astrakhan. Knee breeches give an
opportunity 10 show their splendid calves.
There arc more than half dozen ali are
men OF fine appearance, strong, attractive
sympathetic, watchful and complaisant.
IL is their work TO skate with any lady
who desires them. Countesses and even
princcsses desire them. Sometimes tho
ladies skating with their cheap Adonises
stop, flushed, mols;-eyed, TO rest. You
hear tho lady's confidential tone, carcss.

use IN chatting with pretty shop girl in
the half lights of the Paris evening time
upon the street. sure, they are lucky

CO injected with it. Her name was Mrs.
James 7. Monroe. Her home was in
Trapperstcwn, Mimi, until her marriage
10 Mr.. Monroe n few months before the
dead letter sale. While in Trapperstown,
she was engaged TO be married to Henry
I. c. Brandt. He was in poor health and
his physician ordered him south. He
went to New Orleans and wrote several
letters to his sweetheart. The last letter
she received said he was going to Florida.
AS no word came from him after that, a
search was instituted and his baggage was
traced to the Ponce de Leon hotel at st.
Augustine; but the owner of the baggage
had never arrived there to claim it. Mrs.
Monroe then Miss CALDWELL had waited
for the return of Mr.. Brandt but had
given him up as dead and finally accepted
an offer of marriage from New Yorker.
1t was as his wife she was visiting WASH
ington when she saw in the description of
some of the articles offered for sale by tho
dead letter Office a watch marked III. L.
L. Brandt" Through jew eler's tag on
the inside of the watch, Mrs. Monroe
traced her old sweetheart. Frank Locraft
of Fernandina was the jcweler. The watch
had been placed in his hands for repair by
Brandt who was going down the coast on
fishing trip. He forwarded it, as directed,
TO Ialacosa and that was the last he had
heard of it. Inquiry at Talacosa showed
that Brandt had come there In a sail boat
which was wrecked near Jupiter inlet.
Brandts companion was saved but Brandt
was drowned. He had told no one who
his people were though he had mentioned
TO his guide tho name of his homo which
the guide understood to be "Trappers
Station" The watch and letter explain
alton were sent to that address; but of
course never reached their intended
destination. They then went to the dead
letter Office where they remained the
required period of time and then, being
unclaimed, the watch was sold by public
auction. The gold watch was such an I'M
usual and valuable article to BIO in dead
letter sale that n newspaper writer
described it and gave tue name of the
supposed owner. Through this publication
Mrs. Monroe was able to trace the fate of
Henry Brandt.-W Washington Corr. Bos-

When man goes into place of busi-
ness and is left standing in the middle of
room, while all around him are men
who are simply carrying on the routine of
their departments, and have not time to
attend to tho possible customer, it would
seem as though there was something lack
ing in the management of the office. A
case of the kind happened recently. A
plain looking man went into the business
Office of a concern with view to giving a
good order for certain goods if he could
obtain favorable prices; being a stranger
he did not know to whom he should apply,
SO he waited, expecting that someone
would approach him to see what he
wanted. He waited some minutes, but no
one appeared to notice his presence, al
though an neutrality-suspicious. the
manager-stood leaning over n clerk
at n desk not 10 feet away, Civ
ing him instructions about shipping
goods. This individual glanced
casually from time to time at the
waiting customer, who, nettled at the in
difference shown him. turned on his heel
and was going out. when the supposed
MANAGER hustled up and wished TO know

should be gwen TO everyone who enters,
in some form or another. The man who
has money 10 spend or orders TO give is
the man We arc all looking for, and his
time is presumably just as valuable to
him as a clerks time Is TO n concern. 1t
is not alone the current order that is lost
to any house by carelessness in the di-
rection nole1, but future orders and the
good will of the snubbed customer. No
