Living in Paris on "a Cents Day.
| Living in Paris can be made very
cheap indeed, according to Mary Norfi
mer Maxwell, if one learns the art Of
doing without"
Most American girls" she says, who
have aspirations in the direction Of paint
ing or music look longinsly toward Paris
/ have met number of them who have
contided TO me that they could live most
comfortably there on s. a week.
If one is prepared to pay from ST 40
to $40 day at a French tension one
can live in q comfortable room and be
served with delicious food For ST 10
or about $40 week-one will have n
small room up many flight of stairs. For
the larger sum the room will be larger,
better furnished, and on one of the low
es floors.
This amount pros ioc9 for no laundry
work and no heat aud 1-ht, The Paris
laundries are more expensive than those
in New York. The simplest little cotton
blouse will cost % cents for proper laun-
dering. Laces and rutfled and plated
ones come still higher.
IF an American girl wishes to study
in Paris on So week she must do all
her own washing and ironing. She should
practice doing without bacon and eggs
for a long time before coming to Paris.
Bacon is a luxury for the rich only here
Fruits fortunately are cheap.
When the American girls contem-
plates cheap living in Paris she thinks
OF cheap clothing as well as of cheap
food and cheap rooms. She fancies her
self wearing dainty handmade lingerie
and smart French gowns at a lower
price than that she is paying in New
DIRK for machine made garments and
ready-made suits. In this respect am
other disappointment awaits her. | find

money she can do better there than here

The Honeymoon Tribulations.
Some thoughtful advice as to the

with care. this giving to the counsel an
air of triviality.
OF course, nobody goes on honey

detail
