THIS AND THAT.

A writer from Paris says:
 The Parisians salesman and sales woman are beyond praise; they are not only SO Intelligent and really able ts advise those who need help. but they are SO sympathetic that 1t positively hurts them to see a buyer choose wrongly. Of course. to the Parisian, everything to do with dress and the toilet is sacred; 1t is so important. Tor instance, that . veil should be seyant; a saleswoman will want you to choose the less expensive Of two veiis II that less expensive veil happens to be the more becoming. The love of beauty Is stronger even than the love of gain in the Parisian mind, and leads them. though perhaps unconsciously, to great CT honesty. It seems to me if one wants to diagnose the minds of others one must first discover the ruling mo- tive of their being. because that will Five the key to all else. Minus the knowledge of the ruling motive of any ones natures, our conclusions are almost certain to be out. The ruling motive of the French mind seems to be the worship of the beautiful, in art, in dress, in sensations. in cooking. too. in surroundings, and from that mental attitude all side issues must date them selves"
 An eminent specialist says that the formation of Madame Pati's throat was distinctly different from that of any, one whom he had ever seen; that 1t was more like the shape of a birds throat than of a human being, the column being perfectly straight and the tonsils abnormally small.
