THE CONCIERGE.
Tyrant Rule of the Autocrat Of the
Partisan Flat House

The concierge is considered 10 be
the bane Of the Partisan fiat dweller's
existence His functions are supposed
TO be the following
The first and most important is 10
collect the rent on quarter day; after
that he must see that the tenants do
not surrcptitiously remove. The latter
prccaution seems to be somewhat un.
necessary, as rents in Paris are always
paid in advance.
He should also bring up your letters
at least twice a day, but as the con

After that time admittance can only be
obtained by ringing bell. The con

she does this, as soon as she is awake

If she is a sound sleeper and YOU are
accustomed 10 come home late at night
