and he proposed taking the subway
and going to the Trocadero. Just
then we met a man that Mr. Chop
stone knew, and he had red hair and
eyeglasses. Mr.. Chopstone introduced
him, and invited him to go along; but
he said it was no use, because it was
the wrong day and we couldn't get in
when we got there. By this time we
were down in the subway, and Mr..
Chopstone suggested that we go to
the Bots, so as not to have to 60 back

course, it was he that we knew, and
not the red-haired man. The red
haired man said he would do what
ever we pleased, and Edna thought we
had better get right off; but thought
we ought to go right on. We didn't
know what to do, and SO we kept on
to the Bots.
The Bots was just lovely-all auto
mobiles and babies; and who do you
think we met? Betty Burleigh. We
were so surprised, for thought she
was in California for her lungs; but it
seems that she's been in Dresden for
her music all winter, and now she's
here for her clothes. She was with
an elderly French lady, and I don't
think that the elderly French lady
liked to have her stop and talk to us.
I thought at first that perhaps it
wasn't proper on account of the red
haired man, but in a second saw the
real reason. Betty glanced around
and said, ooh, madam, GU est Fakir?"
Whereupon the elderly French lady
looked absolutely terrified and tore
madly off. We had quite a long talk
before she came back with the most
awful little black dog, which they evil

down and began to look displeased
again, and Betty just glanced about
and said calmly, "Oh, madam, GU es

wildly away. The red-haired man
said, "Why don't you buy chain for
him?" Betty shrugged the Frenchiest
kind of shrug and said, 81 don't have
to chase him." The red-haired man
said, 81 should think she would buy
the chain them" and Betty shrugged
much Frenchier shrug, and said:

the first thing on the first morning
and get it off his mind at once.
We had to go to lunch, and uncle
doesn't like the food very much; he
says it strikes him as "flummery,"
and he is really very much vexed over
Mrs. Clary's being at Neuilly. Edna
is vexed because Harry is there, too,
and I'm very much vexed indeed be-
cause she thoughtlessly gave uncle
the letter at lunch, and when he read
about Monsieur Sibilet's wife being
his mother he was more put out than
ever. He said we could look out for
ourselves this afternoon, as he had
to go to the bank. Edna suggested
that we go to the Louvre, and he said
yes, that would be wise, because then
we wDuld all be free to enjoy our
selves. Uncle speaks of the Louvre
exactly as if it were the semi-annual
siege at the dentists. But he was
kind enough to offer to leave us there
on his way to the bank, and when we
took the cab, he arranged with the
cabman and the hotel-porter exactly
what the fare was to be, and held it in
his hand the whole way.
Edna and I were mighty glad to get
to the Louvre without uncle, especial
ly with the way he feels to-day, and
we were wandering along in a speech

sudden heard some one calling my
name. whirled around, and if it
wasn't Mrs Merrilegs, in a state of
collapse on one of the red-velvet
benches. We went to her, and she
took hold of our hands as if she'd
been our long-lost mother for years.
She looked very white and tired and
almost ready to faint, and we sat
down on each side of her in real sim
cere sympathy, and she held our
hands and told us how it was.- It

Tiny Boston Store.

What is believed to be the smallest
store in the world was opened for bust
ness recently at Front street and
Bigelow court, Worcester. 1t consists
of two shelves Ia inches long attached
to the building owned by J. Lewis
Ellsworth, secretary of the state
board of agriculture, and the space
given up to the display of few hand
fuls of fruit and peanuts contains $50
square inches.
For more chan quarter of a GEN.
fury the corner was the site of a news
and peanut stand, but when the city
extended Bigelow court from Front
street to Mechanics street it was seen
that the stand sncroached on city land.
It was demolished to allow the street
to be extended and the new line goes
to within IA inches of the Ellsworth
building.
Louis Oriente has rented these few
inches from Mr.. Ellsworth and started
to do business the other day, keeping
his stock in trade in little structure
about the size of doghouse in the
rear of the Ellsworth building. When
Mr.. Oriente makes sale he has to
stand on the sidewalk-Boston 0loha.

No CompIainjnu.

A writer in Tit-Bits says that a
wealthy gentleman living in North
Devon, who took great interest in
the church, offered to give the choir
a treat, and decided on the really
princely one of taking them for a
week in Paris.
He escorted them himself to places
of interest and beauty in that charm
ing city, but not once during their
whole stay, or even on their return,
did one of the men say to him that
he had liked the trip or had enjoyed
himself.
Naturally anxious to know whether
they had done so, few days after
their return he asked one of the
churchwardens, a farmer in the vii
lage, whether he thought the men had
enjoyed their time in Paris. The
churchwarden cogitated for a moment
or two.
"Well, sir" he said at length. II
amt heard no complaints"

running after him I can do as l
please. The red-haired man laughed.
Poor madame came painting up with
the creature just then, and Betty said
sweetly, 'Laissez-lui courir," so she
had to put him down; but could see
that she meant to keep sharp eye
on him. Betty wanted us all to come
to the Palais and lunch with her; but
of course we refused, because you
wouldn't have liked it, and, anyway,
we had to go back to uncle. She
wanted the red-haired man to stay,
any how, and was quite put out when
he declined. Just then two men in
an automobile came up and asked her
to go and see the balloon ascension.
They didn't invite the elderly French
lady, and she protested about CONNIE
IL faut"-but Betty said, "Ou est
Fakir?" and, if you'll believe me, that
little beast was gone again, and poor
madame dashed off in pursuit. Betty
made short work of bidding us good
by then, and at once got into the au-
tomObile, and was off.
We came slowly along back with
the red-haired man, and at the Arc de
Triomphe we ran into Mr.. Chopstone.
1t seems he went a station too far be-
cause he met some people he knew in
the car behind us, and he says we
must all go to the Chatelet with him
tonight to make up. He said uncle,
too," so we accepted. Then We took
a cab and came back to the hotel,
where we found our beloved relative
with his feet on the center-table,
reading the Paris Herald. He looked
over the top at us and announced that
he'd done the Louvre" I think we
must have looked startled, for he went
on to say at once that he knew that 1t
was something that had got to be
done, and that he shouldn't enjoy, and
so he had thought it best to go at it

LABOR DAY COMMITTEE.
Whipping Into Shape all Arrange
ments for Labor Day.

The Labor Day committee met at
the labor commissioners Office last
Friday evening and made substantial
progress. The contests committee
was allowed $3.50 for the purchase of
prizes. Heretofore it has been the
custom to panhandle" local mer-
chants for these prizes. but this year
the committee decided to stand on its
own bottom and pay all of its ex-
penSes.
A number of the unions have come
across with their per capita for the
guarantee fund, and all the others are
requested to do so without any further
delay. The committee needs the
money to pay a'few current expenses
The money will be returned pro rata

bration are paid

and the financial end of the celebra-

unions have not yet been represented
on the committee, and all such are re-
quested to send committeeman to
every meeting from now on.
1t was decided to have Miss Nc
Dowell speak at the Air Dome in the
evening, Immediately after the basket
supper. This course was taken be-
cause it was deemed impracticable to
try and have the speaking during the
heated hours of the day, there being
no enclosed building on the grounds.
The time set is in the cool of the
evening. after all the contests are
over. and just before the proper hour
for dancing. 1t was thought, too, that
this arrangement would result in a
