Landlords In Paris are becoming day
by day more absurd In the restrictions
they put on their tenants. Some will
not allow dog to be kept; Others will
not permit any pet whatever. and some
even will not allow children TO be in the
house. A clever individual has just
managed, however. to overcome this last
objection. He had seen an apartment

lord objected to children. he said no:f-

had the lease made out in the infants

take possession the proprietor flew into
