New York Is not without its titled visitors
this winter. In spite of the fact that such q col.
lection Of eNpatriated noblemen as that which
was seen here four winters ago has never been
repeated. Those visitors happened to be
young and promising men. while the most con-
spicuous Of the titled foreigners this season
are women. Formerly it. was said that many
men who came here were attracted 10y the
fottunes Of American girls. But the visitors

Jean de Reszke Is said to be not the only an
plicant for the direction OF the new opera
house to be built in the Place Vendome in
Paris. Both Paul Milliet and Edouard Colonne
are said TO desire the place. and Henry
Mapleson. o son of the famous impresario, also
wants it. NJ. de Res2ke is said to be no moro
troubled by these rumors OF rivals than by the
denial of Baron Erlanger and Mr.. Alfred de
linthBchild that either OF them was concerned
in the building of the new oner9 house. II

on cold. damp days is to jump on a car and be
careful to sit on the right side. 1 mean by

find a place there, because most passengers
that the virtue of the thing lies. The mild.
well-regulated degree Of heat is trying enough
to healthy people who ride in the cars. They
avoid it. But when a cold. damp spell has set
in and persons subject to neuralgia and rheu-
matlSm begin TO feel pangS. tnat warm SIDE OF
the car is Il blessing. Sit there for twenty
minutes and the heat will drive away the pain
