Paris New Century Phrase.
From the London TELEGRAPH

Partisan society has just solved a most
momentous problem. Every one has heard
the expressian "fin de siecle,' and most
people have used It, chiefly to describe per-
sons and things to which they objected.
Some very modern spirits have even been
known to call themselves and their own
doings fin de steele. Now, however, that
the end of the century has come in earnest,
the expression must perforce be dropped
at all events for the next eighty years or
so. AS the peculiar spirit and state of
mind which 1t designated appears not only
to subsist, but to flourish more than ever,
Parisians have been at a loss for a new
phrase. Various notifications were tried,
such commencement de Steele" debut
de steele" ''nouveau Steele" but these were
all rejected not being found neat enough.
At last, with the help, 1t is said, of par
ticularly witty dramatist, whose plays have
often provided the boulevards with the stock
phrase of the season, the problem has been
solved. NJ. Henri Lovedan, in a drawing
room. is related to have said to very mod
ern young man, ''Vous etes, monsieur; tout
a fait jeune Steele" Then and there Paris
ian society adopted the phrase. The young
century man. is now an accepted character
in Paris.
