An American Abroad.
From the New yorl prass


A well-known insurance man of New
York recently had some amusing expert
ences in Uaris. At the Cafe Ritz seeing a
fine basket of fruit on the. table, he per-
suaded his wife to eat peach while wait
ing for luncheon to be served When the
bill was rendered there was, a charge for
fruit, 10 francs" He protested. One
peach for 50 was a little more than he
thought an American should stand. The
manager was summoned "You have de-
stroyed the decoration OF the table" he
explained. You should not have eaten the
peach. You will see there is no fruit on
the bill of fare" well, when fruit isn't
to be eaten, why don't you put a fence
around it and hang out sign. l refuse
to pay that charge. Tt is an outrage" In
a very short time our fellow-countryman
had broken a walters nose and kicked
him into the street, for which display Of
valor gendarme hailed him to the police
station.

There are two types of women who
aim to be well dressed. One OF these is
the woman who is not quite sure of her
self or Of the woman who is making her
gowns. She does not entirely trust In ad-
vice, and is never fully satisfied with her
clothes unless they bear a well-known
French hall mark OF some kind. AS a
rule, a woman OF this kind will have no
improvements upon the French models.
II she cannot have the model for which
