Luxurie~s Flats in Paris.

From the London Mail.
In the new flats being erected all over
Paris one notes the tribute to luxury in the
well-installed bath rooms, the electric light
Ing, steam heating and other modern i'm
provementS which ten years ago even the
rich French people dispensed with.
The average flat" in those days was not
even provided with gas for all heat there
were open fireplaces. sometimes filled in
by the sitting salamander, while the bath
room did not even exist, even in SO small a
fashion as a place to put a tub. English
people resident in Paris were driven to the
expedient of placing their tubs in their
wardrobes, or the "blac ok closet"-''cabinet
noir'-which is usually found in old and
new apartments, why or for what purpose
no one knows, and forced into taking their
morning tub by lamplight. If not in the
total darkness of the cabinet noir." To-
day all this is changed. In the new flats
one is no longer obliged to pant up four or
five flights of stairs-the charming people
seem to prefer the top foors-comfortable
elevators convey one, il not rapidly at least
safely. to ones destination The fats are
well heated, admirably lighted with elcc-
tricfty. and the bath rooms are as we'll ap-
pointed as one could desire. Luxury has
even invaded the Kitchens. The walls are
vanished with enamel paint the floors
well tiled. the whole better lighted and
aired. and a gas cooking stove, small but
convenient. universally found, as well as
the modern range.

IN NEW QUARTERS.


DavenPOFtS Emporium.
The formal fall opening of the big carpet
and furniture emporium OF Clark & Daven-
port in new quarters at 18th and streets
today was cogent demonstration to Wash
ingtonians of what push and indomitable
perseverance. coupled with a desire to give
honest values at reasonable prices, can ac-
complish in the field of trade.
A little more than three years ago these
young merchants bought out the business Of
F. Petersen at s13 Pennsylvania avenue.
They had been for several years employed
in one of the leading carpet houses of the
city and were thoroughly familiar with
every detail of the business. The firm 8
trade increased from the start and 1t was
necessary to look around for more room.
An effort was made to get property on
either side of the Pennsylvania avenue site,
but it was impossible to make satisfactory
deal.
story building at 18th and F streets, and
more than 10000 has been expended in re-
modelling and fitting 1t for the needs of the
firm s trade. What is particularly interest
ing to the shopping public is the 120 feet of
show windows, facing on 18th and r
streets The display today of carpets,
draperies, lace curtains and silk tapestries
in all the new shadings and colorings was
one of the most complete and comprehen-
sive that has been seen in Washington in a
long time.
A pleasing feature of the new store is
the ladies' reception room in a balcony
overlooking the display on the first floor.
1t is in reality Turkish room and is fur
nished and ornamented with the richest Of
ancient oriental fabrics and armor. This
will be favorite meeting place for the
army of female shoppers who may want
to see the latest designs
The second floor of the building Is de-
voted to- high-grade oriental carpets and
rugs, while on the third floor is to be seen
an excellent and complete display of din
ing room furniture, among which are re-
productions of all the old English and
Dutch designs. A choice line of parlor
work is found on the fourth floor, while
the fifth floor is set apart for bed room
suites in many different and new woods
with bedsteads of many novel designs III

EngIand's Athletic Defeat.

From the London Chronicle September g.
The athletic contest between the English
and American universities has ended, as
was only to be expected, In the defeat Of
the visiting team. That is what generally
happens to the side that has to cross the
Atlantic and compete under atmospheric
and other conditions that are strange to it.
None the less. it cannot be denied that the
Americans gave a handsome beating,
and the result cannot be explained away.
Even II Cornish had been well enough to
win the quarter, We should still have lost.
The only consolation left to us Is that We
excel as Enthusiastically in stamina as the
Americans do in dash. The three long
races, the half, mile and the two miles all
Tell to Englishmen. Workman, who Sc
cured two of them, created record for the
two miles, and was only one second outside
record time for the half. The defeat Of
Hind in the hundred, though the time was
py no means sensational shows that the
Americans were really good in that event
and they thoroughly deserved to win.

The Children's Victory.


A curious and pretty custom Is observed
every year In the city OF Hamburg 10 cell
citrate famous victory which was won by
little children more than 400 years ago. In
one OF the numerous sieges Hamburg was
reduced to the last extremity, when II was
suggested that all the children should be
sent out unprotected into the camp OF the
oesiegers as the mute appeal for mercy Of
the helpless and the innocent. This was
done. The rough soldiery OF the investing
army saw with amazement, and then with
pity, a long procession of little ones. clad
IN white. come out OF the city and march
pololy into their camp. The sight melted
their hearts. They threw down their arms
and plucking branches of fruit from the
neighboring CHEEKY orchards. they gave
them to the children to take back to the
city as token of peace. This was a great
victory, which has ever since been COM
memorated at Hamburg by a procession OF
boys and girls, dressed in white and carry
ing branches of the cherry tree in their
hands.
