The Paris correspondent Of the London
Telegraph writes that some Of the inhabi-
tants Of those breezy districts outside Paris
known as Bondy. Raincy and Villemonble are
afflicted with a strange craze. They are under
the impression that a large treasure of gold,
Jewels, plate and artistic objects OF great
value is buried somewhere between Monitor
neil and the Fort of Vaujours. A society has
been formed for the purpose of exploring
the countryside, and half a dozen men af-
ficted with the gold fever turn out every
night with p,ckaxe and shovel In order to dis
cover the hidden store which is destined, If
found, to turn some OF the eXcavators into
milllonaires and heroes of fortune. worthy to
figure as genuine Monte Cristos. Recently
the searchers were temporarily arrested
by the local gendarmes. The booted,
spurred and cock-hatted representatives of
authority had not heard of any treasure
being in the vicinity of their beat. If

who had been impelled by a mysterious call
to shoulder the shovel and go out In quest
of buried ore.
The supposed treasure had an historic and
interesting origin. 1t is said that Marie

Fashions I'm Stationery.

All formal invitations for weddings and
receptions, dinner and menu cards should
be engraved upon fine, white paper of ex-
quisite satiny texture. The address should
be engraved across the top of the sheet.
The monogram. II 1t is used, should be un-
der 1t, and the coat of arms above. Silver
and gold, light green, dark olive and bronze
are popular in markings. Magenta. blue,
pink and buff, besides gaudy combinations
OF gilt and color are also correct.
Mourning stationery is of gray paper, Dor
dered with black. The width Of this edge
decreases as time %elapses. and, of coures,
is marked in black. Fol the season OF half

deprive themselves Of suitable and elegant

two dies. One they leave with their sta

courteous reception which-while yet an in
