life exposed for sale, and what makes
an impression on the foreigner is the
comparatively large stocks of goods to
be found everywhere. One goes into
little place in a back street and asks
the price of so and so exhibited in the
window. The price does not suit and
one turns to go away. ''Will Monsieur
wait one moment? Perhaps Monsieur
would like this sort better" And then
the whole family, perhaps, get busy
bringing out boxes and bundles of ma
terials, ETC., of a surprising variety and
superior quality, and the chances are
that Monsieur will make a liberal pur
chase before they get through with him.
As for the effects of these maneuvres
upon the average feminine constitution
and resisting powers, | leave that to
your imagination.
SOME LOW PRICES.
In spite of the lowness of prices, one
spends a good deal And really prices
are low, compared with ours. Take
rents. My French teacher, who is an
elderly widow, an ancient gentlewoman
one might call her, occupies fiat con-
sisting of five rooms, closet-room, cold
water supply, on the third floor of
building in one of the principal business
streets; for this she gives $6,33 per
month or 5000 per annum. Take SER
wants wages Our cook, who is a cap
able manager and who knows how to
cooks, gets $I2oo, or with the wine
which is provided for her, say $500
month. The chambermaid gets $II.oo,
and this latter, who is a good seam
stress finds time every afternoon to do
mending and darning for the family.
Take clothing. My new heavy winter
overcoat, made to order, lined with silk,
and of the best material in the shop,
cost me $500 Ca similar coat at home
would come to about $4,000; new
winter suit of heavy Scotch goods cost
made me suit of an inferior, yet serv-
iceable, material for SI4oo. Take
transportation. Railway fares are per
haps no lower than with us, but the
Paris Metro" Cor subway sells the
ordinary second-claSs ticket, which en-
titles you also to innmerable transfers,
for three cents: and during the morn
ing and evening rush hours" the price
is two cents. Taximeter cabs and auto
taxis are ridiculously cheap: an average
drive for two or three persons will not
come TO more than twenty-five or thirty
cents for the party.
THEATRES AND RESTAURANTS HIGH.
On the other hand, theatres are very
high. The ticket for a good location in
the orchestra will come to two dollars
and half to this add ten per cent. for
the tax for the poor; ten cents for
a program; tip to the old lady in the
courtroom; and before they get through
with you, you are paying not far from
three dollars a seat. AT high-class res
taurants prices are sometimes outra-
geous. There are places in Paris where
it is absolutely forbidden to enquire the
price. You know nothing of your fate
until you get the bill. Then sometimes
you need a restorative. Candies are
dear and not so good as with us at
home For this reason | sometimes
wonder why Paris is so popular with
our girls.

THE Nan BEHIND THE Law.

Governor Deneeu of Illinois. togeth-
er with a party Of friends, was arrest
ed not long ago for a law violation.
1t is a fine story.
The party. occupying an automobile,
was returning from a club reception
near Peoria and was stopped by a po-
hceman named Hill
you haven't the required number OF
lights on your car. and. besides. you
have exceeded the speed limit" said
the policeman.
See here" interrupted the chauffeur;
"cut this out Those are big people.
When you know who they are you will
not'want to be so gay"
Il don't care who they are; they
can't violate the law" answered Po-
liceman Hill.
Il am Governor Deneen." said the
chief executive. standing up IN the
car. what offense are we guilty ofT'
The policeman almost fell of his mo-
torcycle when he saw the governors
familiar face. but he was game.
Cant help it. governor" he said.
The law must be enforced"
Il agree with you" replied the gov
ernor. Are we going to be hauled
in?"
Guess I'd better SEND you down to
the station and see what the sergeant
says" said Hill.
The automobile was driven TO the
station. where the parties were book
ed" for failing to comply with the law
requiring lights on the cars at night.
Said ! not it is a fine story2
IL reads ike those army incidents in
which the generals party approaches
the picket line and is refused admis-
sion by the stern sentinel. who has his
orders to admit no one without the
proper password.
Policeman Hill enforced the law
without distinction Of persons.
The governor was quick 10 see the
policemans point. and he set a good
example by prompt obedience to the
law.
Proper law enforcement must in
clude all infractions of the law. wheth-
er by high or low.
1t is trite but true saying that
what we need is not so much the pas
sage Of new laws as the strict and
equitable enforcement Of the old laws.
As it is "the man behind the gun"
who wins the victories Of war. so the
man behind the law wins the victories
of peace.
And as the man behind the law
must enforce the law. so the man in
front OF the law must obey the law.
