It's Partisan Sage That Makes That

The Ham Fair at Paris.

A feature of Partisan life Is the ham
fair which is held on the Boulevard
Richard LIE Noir. The name Of this
fair is wholly misleading, for as far
as have ever seen hams are the very
last thing any one ever buys there.
Old brass and copper curios. quaint
jewelry, rare china, lace, tapestries
and books are what most people GO
out to seek, and sight not to be easily
forgotten is the long, wide boulevard
lined with ramshackle stalls laden
with every possible kind of lumber and
presided over by the most rapacious
Of brocanteurs. Out Of piles Of value
less lumber Americans and English
diligently seek for their pet kind of
curios, and there is not an artist In
Paris who cannot point to some bit
Of furniture In his or her studio and
say with pride. II got that for francs
at the ham fair" No one ever pays
more than francs, notice, but, alas,
every year these five franc bargains
are becoming more rare. and even as
housekeeping In Paris grows more and
more costly 80 does the furnishing OF
ones house to keep.-London Queen.

Old as the history of the world itself
Is that of the queen of flowers. The
ancient Greeks and Romans reyeled In
roses. They were used lavishly at their
feasts. In the time of the republic the
people had their cups of Falernian
wine swimming with blooms. and the
Spartan soldiers after the battle OF
Cirrha refused to drink any wine that
was not perfumed with roses, while at
the regatta OF Baiae the whole surface
of the Lucrine lake was strewn with
flowers.
