moned several fresh regiments to Paris
Whatever may happen later, Paris was
spared the disgrace Of any incident
which might mar the magnificent trib
ute to Frances late ruler.
When the funeral procession left the
Elysee, Father Hertzog, the cure of the
Madelaine, or Church of st. Mary Mag
oalen, gave the parting blessing as IL
moved away. The weather was perfect.
the sun shining brightly, and vast
crowds lined the streets. The line of
mourners was led by the archbishop OF
Iours' who Is a personal friend Of the
family. Then came President Loubet,
WIN premier Dupuy and M. Deschanel,
president OF the chamber of deputies, on
either side Of him. following the hearse.

Msr. Clari, the papal nuncio. There
was a brilliant display Of military uni
forms. those OF Great Britain and Ger
many being especially remarked for
their splendor.
In the procession were II chariots la.
den with floral tributes, one specially
set apart for the coronals from the va
rious European sovereigns. The crowds
were greater than any yet seen In Paris
upon a similar occasion, and they were
orderly.
The funeral services took place in No

ket was then borne to the portal. &C.
conpanied by the clergy, and replaced
on the funeral car, after which the pro-
cession wendell Its way to the cemetery
OF Pere Lachaise, where the interment

Considerable reference was made OF
the fact that the United States did not

only American flowers visible among
those carried In the procession.
: During the day requiem masses for
the repose Of the soul of the late

NEW SHIRT WAISTS.
Cool BOdices which Arc the Delight
of Every Woman In Warm
Weather.

The new shirt waists are not so very
different from those of last year after
ALL They are made of deeper blues
pinks and lavendcrs, and broad stripes
have taken the place Of the hair-line
effects of last year. The inch-wide
stripe is seen, but much smarter are the
half-inch wide stripes of color alter
mating with hair-line stripes of color
dividing an inchwide stripe of white:
Fine, firm Madras is the best material
for well-made waists, but silk and
linen, muslin and gingham, are used.
The backs of most of the new shirt
waists are almost devoid of fullness,
and some dispense with the becoming
yoke, popular for so many seasons
In design there is little change from
last year. Perpendicular tucks or pip
ing that stand out instead of lying
fat on either side Of the front are
pretty for slim figures, and more suit
able to stout wearers than are the
broad cross-wise tucks which they wore
SO persistentiy last summer.
A rather novel shirt has strip of
white muslin down the front in which
the buttons and buttonholes are placed.
On either side of this strip and placed
about their own width apart are groups
of tuclis edged with white muslin. The
work is so daintily done that it is not
at all clumsy, and the effect of the
white muslin stripes on the rose or
blue or green of the shirt is cool and
summary. Shirt waist sleeves have not
suffered in the general reduction. They
are just about the size now that they
were when these cool bodices first took
the world of women by stormy. Y.

LIVE UNDER GROUND.
In Some Parts of France the Inhab-
ftnnts Dwell in Sandstone and
Chalk Rocks.

In Europe there are thousands OF
people who live underground. Rarely
do they see the light of day, feel the
warmth of sunshine, or hear the sing
ing of birds. They are like the cave
men of old.
In the sandstone and chalk and lime
stone districts of France large portion
of the population lives under the sur
face. In the department of Maine ct
Loire, and in a portion of Vienna, whole
villages are underground.
S. Barring Gould, the English novelist,
has made a study of these queer vii
lagos. II visited one near Les Eyzies,
on the Nezere," he says, where the fa-
Their and mother were hoth i'll in bed
with influenza in separate beds. The
canopies were crooked up to the rock
overhead. The windows were without
glass, mere openings in the one wall
that closed the face of the cave. BY
the side of the mans bed was a deep
descent of 40 feet, where antiquaries
had burrowed in search of the deposits
of prehistoric man. N. Y. Journal.
