secute and not persecu,e. Old Grim
inals have been tried vigorously
and successfully, but fret offenders
have been dealt with mercifully.
Young men who might have become
criminals have been made into good
citizens. would rather make a man
than a criminal any day in the week.

voters who believe in fair aud i'm

The Midinettes of Paris

A FOREIGNER walking along any
~ of the famous streets of Paris at
= - about MONDAY will be surprised at
the host of bareheaded. pretty, smartly
dressed girls who fill the pavements,
walking arm in arm in long strings and
making pertinent-and sometimes pert
remarks about every passerby.
These are the ''midinettes, so called
from the hour of their appearance. They
are the shopgirls and dressmakers' as
sistants of the most fashionable city in
the world. Particularly they are the
girls who give the dainty and important
finishing touches to the great "crea-
TONS" When IL o'clock strikes they
rise as with one accord from their work,
and for an hour they flock the streets.
They are perfectly frank and quite
werldlywise in their passing comment,
and woe to the stout lady dressed in
unbecoming pink satin or the elderly
maiden CARRIED as half her years. Yet
there is a useful side to the chatter of
these midinettes Often the observant
person can get many and many a valu-
able hint as to dress and carriage from
those who note them as she passes.
These girls are poor, every one OF
them; they live on half of what our
American working girls receive. and yet
they are always stylishly and becom-
ingly dressed. How they do it is a
French secret, incomprehensible to the
Anglo-Sax mind.
