BE-. Wild rumOrs from France recently
turned the eyes Of the world toward
that country, and breathlessly we
awaited what May Day might bring
forth-the day once given over to
merry frolic and dance; now becoming
associated with ;. the = demonstrations
Of labor, rather than play. The ru-
mors declared that the threatened
demonstration was something more
than sign Of labor, agitation, though
this In itself promised to be of such
proportions as to assume most serl-
Gus character. We We're assured the
labor element was simply being
worked by the Bonapartists, who, at
ter troubles were stirred up, would
step in and reap the benefits. And we
listened to farther startling disclo-
sures, that Catholics and even Royal
lists were now siding with the Bona
partists; the former because of the ac-
tion taken by the republic in divorcing
church and state, the latter because
they rather have a throne with a
Bonaparte thereon than throneless

May Day came with some rioting
and resulting violence, but happily
passed without realization of the dire
forebodings. But the expressions OF
discomfort with existing conditions
lead the reader to contemplation of
the stability of the French republic.
It Is not very easy for us Americans,
unless possessors of an unusually live
ly imagination, to understand that the
overthrow of the French republic is
well within the bounds Of possibility:
for over her we have no Royal4-t
families with. sore memories of revo-
luton and revolutionaries, with proud
memories Of old grandeur and old au-
thority; we have no Bonapartes Jealous
of ambition and empire; no prince
pretenders. Add to the above parties

to the school children on the duty and
pleasure of tree planting, told them
Of the value not alone to children OF
the future but to themselves; that in
his youth the physicians had con-
demned him to an early grave, but
that he was fond Of life and decided
to try to cheat the doctors-the cure
was fresh air and outdoor work, plen-
ty of vigorous exercise. Then he
drew fascinating pictures of what
each individual, no matter how hum
BILE, could do towards identifying and
making more habitable his particular
fraction of this earth, and at least one
of his hearers was straightway in
f1uenced to go to work at her particu-
lar fraction, to spread the gospel of
transforming backyard and unsightly
vacant lots into grateful places Of YER
dancy and bloom.
Looking back over this experience
the writer is able to realize some
thing Of the Immediate influence Mr..
Morton's early efforts must have had
on his neighbors out there in Ne

Since the death of his father Prince
Victor has been looked upon by the
1mpe:ialists as the head of the house
Of Bonaparte, the only legitimate pre-
tender to y the imperial crown of
France. This Bonaparte prince served
as soldier in the French army be-
fore the law was passed expelling
members of families that had reigned
over France; but he is more of stu
dent than a soldier. The prince has
no fortune of his own, enjoys a gen.

million dollars a year.

Prince Louis is primarily military
man. On reaching manhood he en-

main in the service of that country,
resigned his commission when Italy
showed tendency to be hostile toward
France. When the Franco-Russian al

as lieutenant; presently was advanced
to the rank of colonel of the Mini

The Matinee-.Jacket Girl

The matinee girl and the matinee
jacket girl need not be at all alike;
one loves to spend sentimental hours
with a stage hero, one loves to lounge
in budoir privacy and comfort.
But in summer there are days when
we are all matineetjacket' inclined,
when even the most energetic is glad
to take to comfortable loose negligee
and comfortable pillowed couch;
wherefore it is we'll to present little
talk on present-day styles In negligee
costume.
One may spend small fortune on
tea-jacket and tea-gown, and one may
attain very attractive ones for only
a small outlay. Imported, handmade
lingerie affairs cost way up, are i'm
possible for the average purse; but
one may throw together. oneself, II at
all capable, some filmy stuff and feel
quite content with results. There are
figured swisses that that need but
little trimming and are inexpensive
and. very appropriate for summer

wash silks that are likewise inexpen-
sive and pretty mulls, lawns, handker-
chief linen-any number Of materials.
Empire styles are liked, the short
WASTED girdle made of insertion and
lace like that with which the garment
is trimmed. The loose sack, loose
from short yoke down, is still in IA

ward moment. - r.

THE CHAMPS -ELYSEES.

socialists, and some idea, if adequate,
is had of the points of attack against
the stability of a republic.
One class cries, anything, anything
to keep down anarchy, to maintain
commercial prosperity, maintain
peace. Another class plots for the
overthrow of republican aristocracy
and the return of Royalist aristocra-
cy. Another class dreams of a mill
tary genius, an unknown general that
shall lead to victory, restore the army
to it's glory.
An article in the Fortnightly, en-
titled "The Royalist Movement In
France" declares that to-day the re-
public is upheld only by the sympathy
of the populace, the support of the So
cialists, and the momentary adhesion
OF the officials. That in the banking
world hostility is gaining against the
present regime. That constitutional
Catholics, breaking with the republic
can cause, are turning either to roy
alism or to the empire. That "at the
present moment, as happens always in
France, the republic is on the eve of
being replaced by military dictator
ship or consulate, which will be the
preliminary either to the empire or
the monarchy. Out of hundred
Frenchmen, Is are eager for the crisis
and the end of the present regime.
Every day which passes sees the num-
Der of Republicans diminish.
The same writer asserts that the
war against clericalism, which has
been causing so much disturbance the
last few years, is purely war for
spells, the Republicans greedy to lay
their hands on the monastic property.
A. the time of the first revolution the
spons fell chiefly to the middle classes
and few thousand peasants: but in
the present scramble for riches the
socialists are taking hand, much to
the chagrin of the middle classes. And
much to the disapprobation of the
financiers, whose valuable aid was
given Gambetta and has backed up
Gambetta's successors. To-day there Is
an exodus of capital to England, Bel
GUM and Switzerland. The strong
prop of the republic, the. Haute FL
nance, is at the point Of withdrawing
protection. Clerics, Royalists, Bona
partists, financiers arrayed together,
present a rather formidable union.
It is reported that the head Of the
Bonaparte family, Prince Victor, a
man of few words, recently gave ex-
preston to this opinion: "Some years
