The lucky house is in the Rue Paul

might not object to go to Paris and live
in it, in spite of the neighborhood,
which is not aristocratic. The house
is permanently full up, and there is
no room for that half of the world
which would desire to dwell under such
an admirable regime.
The hairdressers of Paris are van
ishing sect. They have been dyeing
for a long time. Now they are dying
in a more serious sense Of the word
and are dying by their own hands.
And, when you think Of 1T, everything
dies by it's own hand. A man perishes
of the most innocent case Of pneu-
monia, or so it seems; but In reality
he has killed himself with his own
ignorance of how to have saved nim-
self from that disease. The hairdreSs-
ers of Paris, that great center of hair :
dressing, have ended their career by
their exceeding independence. Partisan
ladies are more and more breaking
away from these tyrants of the dress
ing table. Their lack of punctuality
has succeeded in making whole fami-
lies miserable. For a few francs a
toned to have a hairdresser come to
the house at an appointed hour every
morning The hairdresser came-but
never at the appointed hour AS re-
suit the ladies of Paris very often
went with uncombed locks until the
evening. This had often very disas-
trGus consequences. Dinners were de-
layed, engagements were broken, we'd
dings were indefinitely postponed, di-
vorces grew to be epidemic.

1t seems To be true, however, that
the great majority of women like elab-
crate weddings. either as spectators or
as one of the principals, and the more
elaborate the weddings are the better
the women like them. They are, to be
sure extremely prone to weep while the
ceremony is in progress. but apparent
ly the tears are happy, or at least
near happy, tears, and all the prepar-
atory tolls that fall upon them they
perform with the utmost cheerfulness.
AS for the expense there was no par
ticular need to count on 1t in this case
and probably 1t is very rarely be-
grudged even when 1t somewhat ex-
ceeds the amount approved by practi-
cal common sense-that grim and
rather obnoxious virtue.
A stout man with fiorid cheeks and
choleric blue eyes slipped and fell on
the slush- h-covered sidewalks at Wall

quickly and gracefully he stumbled
and fell again. With look OF deep
disgust he remained In sitting pos
ture for a few seconds as though de-
termined not to arise just for spite.
In the meantime a crowd had collect

long. Best Of Douglas, who came down

passage of any such measure, noticed
who was the introducer, and moved to
order it to third reading without dis

Members OF the committees on pub

them to make speeches. Most of the
legislators are great on getting votes
and know how to tell a man that white
