proud. 1t was made in Tie native
shops, by native hands, of native wood

ternally and internally it is sbillfully
carved, each seat arm forming n lions

real beauty of its detail, the conviction
grows that here is people capable OF

Nor is there wanting other evidence

SMALL PAPERS OF PARIS.

Their Number Not Regulated by the
Demand, but by the Occasion. .
New York Sun: The press of Paris, de-
scribir~ under that generic term all the
newsp ipers published in the French capi-
tai, is q somewhat spasmodic group, the
number of newspapers being regulated.
not by any ordinary rule of demand, but
by the necessity of some public occasion.
In times of excitement there are more
papers published in Paris-1ot more copies
of established papers, but more news
papers-than n times of quiet. A great
sensation adds not SO much to the num-
Der Of copies sold of any particular journ-
al as to the number of newspapers pub
liShed, and whenever, as sometimes hap
pens there is lull in public interest, it
manifests itself not in the suspension of
newspapers for French newspapers never
suspend but in the disappearance of a
number, for some Partisan journals ap-
pear and disappear without any apparent
good reason for SO doing.
The population of the City of Paris by
the last census was, approximately, $780,
600, and the number of newspaper read
ers in Paris was a little larger. perhaps
than in other large cities, speaking rela-
lively, for the reason that practically
every one in Paris speaks or understands
French. for there are very few foreign
ers in the capital city unfamiliar with the
French language. According to the re-
Gently published Presse Annuaires for 1899,
the Paris newspapers this year number
2, 587-more than ever before. 0
There are in Paris at present 40 daily
political newspapers but how many there
will be next week or how many the week
after is practically impossible to. state.
Some effort has been made to classify ac-
cording to divisional lines the daily pa
pers of Paris which devote their chief at
itention to politics. and it has been found

that ninety-seven come under the category
of republican, thirty are conservative and
thirteen are socialist. The ninety-seVen
Republican papers are subdivided into
moderate and radical republican papers,
opportunist republican papers which sup
port whatever particular government is
in Office, and republican papers which ops
pose whatever government is in office
The thirty conservative papers are di-
vided into those that support the various
GROUPS of pretenders. Orleanist and Bona
partist, the clerical papers. the financial
papers and the papers which cater to
various interests connected with the army
and navy. The socialist papers of Paris,
being thirteen in mum Der only, are less
easily susceptible of ubdivision, but some
are more radical than others and some
are more moderate Than the average, but

papers take up and consider politics.
81 This state ~ofsamEtrs Is rendered posi-
bile by variety of conditions which do
not prevail in the United States The
price of French Newspapers is high the
Reading matter is smell In amount and
the space taken BY It Is very limited.
French newspaper readers do not require
much news and are perfectly satisfied to
depend upon the postofHce as an ordinary
!channel of communication whenever the
telegraph fails. More Importance is at
'tached to literary style than to exact de-
tails in local newsgathering. and it is
therefore impossible to publish with en-
tire pecuniary success "a Paris newspaper
from the columns of which. all items of
expensive news are omitted. Moreover
many Of the French political papers, So
called, are subsidized sheets, deriving
their. support, not from their readers or
advertisers, but from sundry funds" So
long as these funds. continue the papers
appear; when the funds languish the pa
pers disappear, and to this condition is
due the fact that the number of daily
newspapers published in the city of Paris
varies radically from time to time and in
an apparently inexpHcable manner, under
stress of some local event which visiting
strangers would not regard as of consid-
cradle Importance. In France, outside of
Paris, the number of papers published is
practically stationary.

THE "WELL-GROONrED,' WOMAN.
Hours and Pains Daily Required for


Hours and Pains Daily Required for
Her Toilet.
From the time the fashionable season
opens in New York until it's close the
society woman nevar has any time. This
Is made the subject of g. great deal of
comment, and her country friends and
relatives do not hesitate to say it is very
mysterious that she cannot arrange
things better, in spite OF all the engage
ments that must needs crop up. But the
truth Of the matter is that If a record
we're kept Of the hours that are devoted
binary that there Is any one hour In the
day left for social life. 3,s't- .s-,.
1t Is positively necessary in these days
for a woman to look ''well groomed"-
F'"well turned out AS the phrase is-and
this very look requires the expenditure
of no end Of time, rot to mention money.
There Is not q. single point as to hair
to receive especial attention, and that
day after day, declares the New York
Herald. So it is really most reYnarka-
BILE thing that women get through with
all these duties and are not much more
self conferred than they are.
When twelve hours out Of the twenty
four are spent in the society of some
attendant who devotes herself to the per-
sonal care Of the person and at the same
time keeps up running fire OF compli-
ments it Is rather difficult to turn the
mind to more serious problems. or to
get away from the cur1ously enervating
Influences that all this care must needs
exercise.
The latest fad is to spend an Immense
amount of time in the care OF the feet.
and pedicures, as those people are called
who understand the care OF the feet, are
really making more money than the man
icures, although, of course. there must
needs be a middleman to come forward
and undertake to furnish a manicure and
.pedicure both in one. But it is SO much
more fashionable not to have the two
talents combined In the one individual
that the pedicure makes her daily visit
as well as the manicure. After all, 1T Is
astonishing that so little care, as a rule.
was formerly paid to the feet, for the
results show that this care not only en-
ables women to walk better than they
did, but to wear a smaller size of shoe,
and, best of all, undoubtedly helps the
circulation of the entire system.
The ,pedicure when she arrives Is shown
into my lady's'' bedroom or dressing
room. ''My LADY, then reclines In low

over in search Of incipient corns or call

edly most scientific, but the constant use
OF tongs may also have had somewhat
to do with it. However, the services of
the hatrdresser are absolutely requisite,
and at least an hour or an hour and a
half every day must be given up to hay

sequently these attendants get thoroughly
we'll posted in all the gossip THAI is going
on, for 1t is one Of the rules of good So
ciety to ignore the presence of any serv-
ing women. There are three Or four of
the very fashionable hairdressers and
Manicures who are rather dreaded by
their costumers, and with reason, for they
certainly know the secrets of the house
hold las no one except trained nurse
does, and as they are but human them
selves, it is scarcely to be wondered at
that. they do repeat some of the very
good stories they overhear.
1t is said the hairdressers hear more
than the others, probably because wom-
an always does talk more freely when her
hair is down-a curious psychological fact
that has not as yet been clearly account
ed for. ~ E
But it Is the care Of the skin that re-
quires more attention than anything else
more than rubies to most women, and
they worry so much over it that they
generally give themselves wrinkles in
their efforts to prevent them.
The daily massage, of course, helps cir
cu1ation, keeps the flesh of the body In
good condition and does q lot toward
making a woman look we'll, but it is not
sufficient in ITSELF and regular facial
massage has to be gone through with as
we'll.
There is the steaming of the face, the
washing it in very hot water and then in
very cold, the rubbing in of unguents and
require a great deal Of time and most
require a great deal deal Of tine and most
careful treatment. This must be admins
tered every day, and an hour or two
must always be given to it..
/ Then there is the rubbing out of incipi-
ent wrinkles and finally the very strong
treatment to do away with the dark
shadows under the eyes and the slightly
withered look that is seen on the very
freshest complexion. and Is usually the
result of too much gayety and too much
treatment Of the skin. &.
There are women who have had their
faces scraped-a most heroic treatment
who claim that they look better for years
afterward, but to go deep enough to
scrape out the wrinkles is so excruciat-
ingly painful that it is not often resorted
to. Some indulge in sort of cupping
process that is said to be wonderful in its
results. Like the scraping, 1t is very
4nainful-so painful that it is impossible

course, cleaned and trimmed into proper
shape and the loose skin pushed back
around the nails, just as N 4toe by the
manicure for the hands. I'd
After these details have been carefully
looked over, most thorough massage is
given. The foot is generally rubbed with

dition. Finally sweet smelling powder
is also rubbed in and then the stocking
and shoe are put on.
It is no exaggeration to say that when
feet are treated in this way they are
really kept in such good condition that
much smaller boot can be worn, and with
the heavy, clumsy footwear that is the
rule for street wear at present, every inch
in size Is something to he dreaded.
The care of the hair is, of course, one
OF the most important things of
woman's life. It has been rather over
done in the last few years, and now al
most every woman one meets Is waiting
because hon hair has lost color or is COM
ing out SO dreadfuily and is generally in
such a bad way. - IT..
Small wonder is it that the specialists
are reaping goodly harvests these days,
for apparently women think more about
their hair than they do about anything
cialist simply to be told what they know
already-that the hair is coming out and
will have to be most carefully looked
after.
For. some years now it has been the
fashion to have hairdressers come in each
day, rub some tonic into the hair, curl
1T with hot irons and arrange it in the
fashionable style. A great many of these
tonics are recommended by the attendants
themselves, and many Of them are excel
lent, but applied as they are indiscrimi-
nately to dark or light hair, the outcome
of it all is that the women of New York
certainly have very queer cofored hair.
One woman whose hair Is naturally
light brown has now almost black hair,
owing to some ingredient in a tonic that
was recommended by hairdresser as
being wonderful preservative; it con-
tanned iron, fannie acid, or something of
the sort, and dyed the very roots Of the
hair dark. The contrast with the light
color in the back of the head is now
somewhat incongruous.
One of the latest fads of the specialist
Is that the reason women are now losing
their hair so much is a germ that is
eating the hair This NAV be ,lndouht-
