PICKING BILLIONS OF FLOWERS.
Work Where the Perfume Industry Is
Carried On in France.

Grasse, in the southern part Of
France, is the centre of the perfume
industry. There women and girls

Those who know the French peas.
antry will not be particularly surprised
at the news that the gatewoman at the
railway crossing near Rennes had
never heard of Dreyfus. And Of
course, the story can be matched in
this country. At the time Of the Duke
of Wellingtons death a parson saun-
tered into his garden after breakfast,
newspaper in hand, mentioned the
news to his elderly gardener, who re-
piled, "Lor, sur, and 90 was 'e?"
Again, the story runs that Mr.. Kip

went to see house which the author
of "Lifes Little Ironies" thought would
suit him, and that when Mr.. Kiplng

THE ceremony Of the hat is some.
thing more punctilious than formerly"
writes Mrs. Burton Kingsland OF
Good Form for All Occasions" In
the Ladies' Home Journal. "A man
awaits the lady's recognition before
he raises his hat to her. He also
raises his hat when presented to a
woman. when meeting and taking
leave Of her. when about to address
her, or when she first speaks to him
for whatever reason. II he passes her
on a stairway or in front of her In pub
lie conveyance. theatre or elsewhere
indeed, whenever the least apology
would be in order; when he offers his
services In any way, even tacitly. or
shows her some trifing courtesy; and
he should always raise his hat when
acknowledging her thanks. A man
should pay the same mannerly tribute
to her sex when a woman enters an
elevator, and remain uncovered during
her stay therein. He should also raise
his hat upon recognizing an acquaint-
ance who has lady with him. II the
friend with whom he may be bows to
q lady, he should show the same
courtesy, although she may be nu-
known to him. Should lady be with
him and recognize friend, he should
