last night. Stanley was enjoying hicy-

Afternoon Tea.

Fronde is the name of daily Paper
in Paris that is edited, written and
printed in the interest of the woman's
right movement, but has particularly
distinguished itself in the Dreyfus mat
ter. In fact, Madame SeTverne has
written a daily letter advocating a re
vision of the case from the beginning
of "Iaffaire." Five o'clock teas at the
Fronde offices are the event of the
Partisan day. The editor, Madame
Marguerite Durand, and the staff take
their beverage in a DELIGHTFULLY."- gotten
up apartment, and all Paris, literally,
artistic and fashionable, drops in be
tween the hours of 4 and I, and is de
lighted to pay the necessary fee for the
privilege.
