WANTED HER GRANDMOTHER.
Little Girl Aware Of the Good Woman's
Weakness.

A grandmother living IN the west
sent word some weeks ago to her
daughters family in New York that
she would be unable to spend Christ
mas with them as planned. Great
was the wailing and gnashing of teeth
thereat among the grandchildren.
Without their grandmother, Christmas,
Santa Claus and all would scarcely be
Christmas. The other day the grand.
mother received letter.
Dear Grandmother" ii read, we're
all awful sorry you won't be with US
Christmas, but, never mind, you'l be
sorry. too, for you'll not see the new
baby that's just come"
The name of the eldest granddaugh-
ter, Ethel, aged 10, signed the letter.
Off went telegram from the amazed
grandmother to her daughter. why,
in Heavens name, was new baby kept
a secret?" it asked. Have just heard
of 1t through Ethers letter. Let me
know particulars at once" If the
grandmother was amazed, the daugh-
ter was dumfounded.
There is no new baby" read her an
swer; see letter." The whole thing
proved to be an invention of the saga,
eious Ethel. who, having observed that
hergrandmother was never known to
fail them upon the arrival of a new
baby" took this means of securing her
for Christmas.

Wickedness of the Paris BouIevards.

1t is common for tourists to regard
brilliant, snowy life, to be seen on the
Partisan boulevards and in the swell
places of amusement, as typical of
French gaiety. There could be no
greater mistake. If one takes the
trouble to analyze the crowd which is
so conspicuous in these resorts, for it's
grooming, its lavish expenditures,
and its questionable dissipation, he
will find that it is not French. 1t is
cosmopolitan, hybrid-made up of the
rich and irresponsible, the declasse.
of dozen countries. The fast life of
the boulevards, of the great and
famous cafes chantants, of the race
course, of the great dives, is largely
foreign. 1t includes the golden youth
of America who busy themselves
squandering what their sires have
shaved to save; it includes dissolute
grandees of many European countries,
Spain, Russia, Bulgaria, Turkey, and
above all, those of South America,
men and women of fabulous fortunes
made in Argentine, Brazil, Peru, who
go there to live in luxury and wanton-
ness. This is what the superficial
travellers call gay Paris, but is it not
real Paris. have frequently heard
French people regret that foreign
visitors regard this kind of life as
representative French gaiety, and
protest against the practice so com
mon among tourists of visiting the
haunts of this guided but dissolute
circle for the purpose of seeing how
the French enjoy themselves.
There are, no doubt, many French
people in these throngs; there are
clever people who know how to adj
minister to fast tastes and to charge
roundly for what they furnish; there
are other clever people who are
neither fastidious in their tastes nor
scrupulous in their dealings. who sys-
tematically exploit these wealthy
foreigners, drawing from their gener-
osity handsome living; there are, of
course, many Frenchmen OF the same
character as the foreigners, the gilded
youth of the city; but the very
Frenchman who seek fortune or
amusement in this set would scorn the
idea that their relation to it was
other than accidental and transient.
In short, there is nothing really rep
resentativc about these most conspicu-
GUS places of amusement in Paris.
They are simply gotten up to catch
gullible foreigners-and they succeed
admirably-Ida M. Tarbell in Serb

TAk,Ne BOTH ENDS OF BETS.
Easy Lessons in the Art of Betting on

MAGNIFICENT JEWELS.
Mrs. John Drexe Has an Exhaustless
Casket.

CaSket
The jewels of Mrs. John r. Drexel
have been the talk of society this win
ter. She must have an exhaustless
jewel basket, for at each great func-
ton st which she appears she wears
some new and splendid set of jewels
Her manner of wearing gems is quite
unique. She always arrangcs them
differently from any one else. and she
always secures an effect with them
Her diamonds are famous, for her col
lection rivals even Mrs. Astor's. She
has many diamond necklaces and
tiaras, and she has ten gorgeous sun
bursts" wEich she wears crossing her
velvet corsage in line extending from
one shoulder to the waist line diagon.

center and tapering to small ones at
the shoulder. No one but Mrs. Drexel
would ever have thought of arranging
her jewels so, unless it might be the
Countess of Warwick Mrs. Drexel
made quite a sensation with fringe
of diamonds which she wore with her
purple velvet gown at the opera. This
blazing fringe started from one Shout
der and disappeared under the arm at
the opposite side.
Mrs. DrexePs turquoises are superb.
Very few people can wear turquoises
and not have them appear cheap. Hers
are of all sizes, from an inch and a
half across to tiny pinhead size, and
they are all surrounded by diamonds
to enrich them. These turquoises and
diamonds are arranged in strands and
are placed on her corsage in a very
unique fashion. They start in front
beneath a superb ornament of tur.
quoise and diamonds representing a
spray of flowers and leaves.~ Two
strands extend away on each side and
meet at the back of the corsage, quite
surrounding the decolletage.
A tall turquoise and diamond tiara
is worn with this corsage ornament.
The tout ensemble is mangificent.

Photoaraphed the Clock.

A case showing how small are the
chances of escape from suspicion to
the evil doer has been decided in Ger.
many after a trial stretching over a
period of year. 1t is interesting, too,
from the fact that it concerns a noted
parsonage, Prince Bismarck. After
his death his family were exceedingly
annoyed by the public sale of photo
graphs which had been taken after
dissolution had ensued. They might
truthfully be described as "lifelike" in
spite of the circumstance, being un-
doubtedly genuine. The only question
of criminality was in which OF the
watchers that constantly surrounded
his bier had connived at their produc-
ton. This evidence was furnished by
a clock which hangs, and had hung for
years, above the mantel in the room
where the remains reposed, and which
the yandals, in their necessary haste,
had failed to remove The time stated
on the face of the clock gave the clew
as to which Of the watchers was on
duty at the moment, and being faced
with the relentless and truthful wit
ness, the man confessed the deed and
the names of his companions.-Ka Kansas
