PARIS HAS TREASURE TROVE

expected to get his share of the treas.
ure, but his employer, it is alleged, has
refused to look at the matter in that
light. The result is that the actual
finder, who Is too poor to retain a law
yer, has applied for leave to sue in
forma pauperis. AS to the original
owner of the gold, he or she is sup
posed to have been some person who
hid 1t In the ground during the war of
1870, and probably persisted In those
troubled times. At any rate, the right
full heirs to tn pots of gold would no,

they had stepped out of ancient pic
lures and were on their way to school
with primers in their hands. In fact,
these bonnets have been named prim-
ers by Il West end milliner, and as
such are sold to customers who want
the latest thing.
The model half bonnet half hat comes
next in favor. A pretty one seen at
Cowes was of blush rose chiffon with
a plisse frill of white tulle at the
edge and long white streamer at
one side, above which fantastic

The vogue of the lingerie hat has
brought back the Alsatian bow, which
is much used on some of the palmer
models in place of feathers or flowers.
A Charlotte Corday cap. for instance,
has for trimming only a huge Alsatian
bow either in front or back, and as the
cap Is usually of chiffon or tulle and
the bow of broderie anglaise or lace
the effect is light and cool.

LACK OF COURTESY
ILL-BREEDING SHOWN IN INTER-
RUPTING CONVERSATION,
Woman Who Has This Unfortunate
Habit Must Break It II She
Would Keep FrIends-
Learn to Listen,

NO type Of human being is more
OF an evaporation to whatever friends
she happens to have-and they are
few-than the woman who Interrupts.
NO matter what you start to tell her,
be 1t ever SO important, she breaks
into 1t In order to relate some trivial
and doubtless irrelevant experience of
her own. By the time she Is done.
and you begin once more to deliver
your message or your warning, or
whatever you have come to say, she is
ready with another interruption. BY
the time she has finished this second
rudeness, you have either forgotten
Wnat you meant to say In the first
place, or you are too vexed to say it.
But bless you! the woman who in
terrupts doesn't know whether you
have said 1t or not. She is so scatter
Drained that she never notices unfin-
1shed sentences. It may be that you
have come to tell her that the house
Is on fire. The moment you open
your mouth she has an uncomfortable
impulse to tell you oil about cousin
Susie's new gown. how much she paid
for 1t, how she got cheated on it and
how dreadfully she looks in 1t. Your
only remedy is to shrek "Fire!" but
very likely that will simply get her
started telling what bargain she
bought at the Jones' fire sale. Per-
haps. after all, you'd better run to the
nearest alarm box and pull in an
alarm. Machinery won't interrupt.
Seriously, it is the height or depth
of discourtesy to interrupt. It gives
the impression that the interrupter
thinks her own sayings are wittier
or more important than those of her
visitor. Perhaps they are, but this

tinued farther north before the year
closes. 1t is also planned to have the
canyon road extended to the upper

Superintendent Bailey states that
the extension TO Brigham City Will
be commenced at an early date. This
work Will necessarily cause some
changes TO be made In the line be-
tween Ogden and the Hot Springs.
The plan at. present Is to abandon
the Pleasant View route and follow
the Plain City line to Farr West
From that point the road viii be built
direct to the Hot Springs. distance
OF about four miles, and from there
TO Brigham City.
The reason for abandoning the
Pleasant View route is to avoid a
heavy grade. Superintendent Bailey
expresses the thought, however, that
If the company could build It's road
along the bank OF the canal that
winds around the hill at Pleasant
View, the roadbed would not have to
be changed but a few hundred feet
farther west, and thus keep Pleasatn
View on the line. IF the road goes
