New Amusemeuti in Paris.

The latest fad for the amusement
of social gatherings in Paris is the
baby party. \ man dressed in a
baby cap and long apron, and fur
nished with a feeding bottle, which
is advantagcously filled with some
thing stronger than milk, is faced by
a woman disguised as nurse, who
proceeds to chide The naughty infant
until he becomes good and is re-
warded by Il stick of barley sugar.
The game affords much amusement
to the onlookers and IS much in ia
vor.

NECESSARY UNNECESSARY"
WORK IN PROBING CRIME
Clues That Must Be Followed and That
Bear No Results.


II the Police Department or Detective
Bureau were to keep a record OF time
wasted in following out false clues. the
books would show that goodly por-
ton OF their work could be classified
as the necessary unnecessary" kind.
Paradoxical as this statement may
seem, it is, nevertheless. carried out
by actual facts. While it is obviously
necessary TO investigate every clue.
the barrenness of result often shows
that much Of the work has. in reality,
been unnecessary,
A police mystery is similar to a river
with numerous tributaries. 1t has many
ramifcations, and the solution might lie
at the end OF one Of these. Sometimes
the right trail is found before every
branch has been traversed. other times
IL is not.
II is nothing unusual for detective
to work out score of clues before the
one which leads to success is discover

ability on their part, but is simply one

illustration OF this condition A woman
