No one In the crowd of homeward-
bound humanity noticed the little
Frenchman, as he stood before the
plate glass window of fashionable
modiste's shop on Twenty-third street
and slightly, very slightly, raised bis
broad brimmed, high silk hat to some
one within. To ridicule, above allother
things, the soul of Jules Lemaitre was
sensitive, and although he omitted nei-
Their morning nor evening the little act
of homage to his ladylove, he had no
mind to let into the secret of his little
romance any of the hurrying Amer
leans who jostled him SO rudely as
they passed,

lifting his hat again, with flourish OF

slipped through an aperture in the
iron grating, which the porter all

in chattering converse on the sidewalk,
and melted away in the crowd. Two
stopped before the broad brown win

one, with a giggle; ''see them ridicu-

leaving the French dummy in her new
ball gown, smiling as demurely as, a
few minutes before, she had over the
compliments of her trim little French
admirer.
