PARIS; July ~. 1872
Flats in which the birth Of a baby frees
the tenant from the payment of rent for
the quarter following are the latest ex-
pertinent in workmen's housing in Paris,
where the difficulty of lodging workmen
with large families stands in close rela-
ton to the vital question of the depopu-
iation of France This experiment for
encouraging large families will be tried
In four blocks Of workmen's flats built
by NJ. Charles Stern at Vincennes. an
eastern suburb of Paris.
They were inaugurated today. and con-
sist of 100 two-roomed. three-roomed and
four-roomed flats. The rents are respec-
lively $50. s65 and $50 year
The profits remaining after the cost
of construction and working expenses
have been deducted will go to the ina
terial canteen" of the district, where
mothers nursing babies will be supplied
with luncheon and dinner free OF charge
The flats include baths, washhouses, a
library, and a dispensary in connection

VICTIM OF HYPNOTISM.
Wandering Chauffeur Is Sent to an
Asylum in Turin.
Foreign Correspondence of The Star.

Foreign Correspondence Of The Star.
ROME, July l., 1912
A curious case of hypnotic suggestion is
reported from Turin. For some DAYS a
chauffeur has been wandering round the
streets and showing no visible means
of support.
On being questioned by the police he
could give no details of his life before
or after May p. To all questions he re-
piled, He who has forbidden me TO
speak has crossed the ocean, and the po-
lice will never find him.
For the present the chauffeur, whose
name is kept secret by the police, has
been sent to an asylum. but physicians
think that the case is one of hypnotic
suggestion, and the cause a refined
vendetta.

ready made clothing is SOLD. the garments
are altered to meet the
Alteration OF the needs of the Gus
toner without extra
ud1 1nCAIS' charge but in many
stores this privilege has been so abused
that the shopkeepers are considering
some other method. Under the current
system of clothes cutting, few alterations
are needed for the normal figure, so that
the employment of an alterer for every
salesman in a ready-made clothing de-
partment no longer is necessary. In New
England a number of the stores tried the
experiment of charging for alterations in
mems clothes just as is done for women's
apparel In store in Boston where
this was done it was found that the
clerks were receiving a percentage from
the management of the alteration de-
partment, and thus were induced to make
the customer pay for unnecessary altera-
tons.
An effort now is being made to consider
the comfort of men in warm weather
more than ever before. The entrance of
the shirt waist man was quite noticeable
in many localities this year, and it is be-
lieved that to certain extent he has
come to stay. At one of the United
States revenue cutter stations the semi
formal dress during the summer is a soft
Vhit shirt and white duck trousers
There never has been a season when the
clothes of men seemed better adapted to
the shirt-waist fad than at present. The
trousers are fitted in close at the waist,
the shirts are cut full and are attractive
in appearance. Quie a number of firms
now are showing shirts with plaits stitch
ed down the back, which certainly seem
well adapted to the coatless attire. They
now are made with double cuffs which
give finish to the ends of the sleeves.
Then there is an almost endless variety
Of belts upon the market. SO that 1t is
easy to secure belt to harmonic with
any shirt or trousers.
Another feature of mems attire that is
especially attractive for the shirt waist
style Is the soft collar which is having
revival of popularity after being COM
paratively in disuse during the winter. at
least in most parts of the country. There
are many improvements made upon the
