GIRLS ATE BIRD FOOD.
The LudicrOus Mistake MADE by TIVE
Prim English Young Women
IN Paris.

Two English girls had yentured into
one of the bonbongeries, or bakeries
which in Paris are 30 attractive that
they are frequented in preference Ia
cafe by persons in search Of a light
luncheon.
The French saltwater fountain,
with its bewildering assortment Of
strange sirups, caught their fancy, but
as they had very few French words
in their vocabulary they contended
themselves with ordering milk, relates
a Paris paper
On the counters were all kinds Of
the most delieiouS-looking cookies, but
the girls were quite at loss as 70
what they were called, and 1t looked
as II they would have TO go hungry,
when one Of them thought Of the ex-
pedient Of helping herself. After a
careful inspection, she picked out a
generous supply Of what appeared to
be the Hghtest-looking bread imagin-
able.
The attendant offered TO wrap it up,
for the stuff selected was bird food,
and was greatly surprised when the
two ladies waved her aside and started
in to make luncheon Of it.
However unpalatable it must have
been, the frugal British maids seemed
to think it sin 10 waste it, for they |
brayely ate it and went out firmly |
convinced that French cooking was a
delusion and a snare, while the little
merely shrugged her pretty
shoulders and exclaimed:
"Oh, but those English are eccen-
tric!"
