 In these days in Paris when things are quiet, it is sometimes difficult for writers to find topics on which to eXpatiate. And so it comes about that subjects are selected which in ordinary times would not be thought of.
 It occurred to one writer to obtain the views of Mile. Robinne, of the Comedie Francaise, who got married do you think of marriage? she was asked Her reply is Interesting. What do I think of it? I do not want to tell you all I think, as you would repeat it. But I can assure you that marriage is charming. I should like young women to find good husbands as soon as possible. Their doubts about marriage would then be dissi- pated."
 The actress does not. think that it is impossible to find good husbands. The thing is to know how to choose, There is no need for hurry. She ar gues that the advantage of long en- gagements is that each day shows more affection and gives proof Of similarity of tastes. Now that the act ress is married it appears to her ln- dispensable to have home which is dear to her, and where she can rest from the fatigue and restraint of life "Woman was not made to love alone" she says, "the road along which two travel together always seems more attractive and shorter

 f4sss4ssss- -A * E * .r--,-~,.,-.,.. Madame Juliette Adam, one of the
 prominent figures of the war anl the seize of Paris, has received the military medal of 1870, and her name is added to the list on which those of NJ. Freycinet, Lockroy and Jules Charetie have been inscribed. The medal has been bestowed on her chief ly for her courageous work in the ambulance corps during the siege Madame Adam was the wife of the first Republican Prefeet of. Police, M. Edmond Adam, appointed by the1pro- visional government, and his term of office was also the shortest, as he was nominated on October II, and resigned on October 31, in conse- quence of the disturbances for which he was held responsible But in spite of this Madame Adam, who had before been known as Jnliette Lamber. the talented authoress, took lively interest in public affairs. She was one of the enthusiastic women who helped to founr the Republic, and she wrote in her diary on September 4, 1870:

They are my brothers. I experience the holy emo- ton of equality. I want liberty. Blessed be the password of the French Revolution
 Her enthusiasm for the new Re- public was remarkably chilled few months later, when she wrote in her diary, on January 9, 1871:
 What torment! It seems that everything is crumhling under our feet. On September 4, I seemed to lay hold of the idea; I touched it with my hands The Republic was born without violence. She seemed to me like a blessed Madonna ap- bearing to sailors after storm. A few mediocrities and incapable suffi- ces to blow out our lamp, to extin- euish our light, and to make the truth become a lie.'
 The Republic had not been able to save Paris from the seize, and France from further disaster. But Juliette Adam, through the terrible days, did her duty as woman. She purchased an armful of whips from an old man in the street, who could no longer sell them, just to give him what mon- ey she had in her purse to save him from starving. She picked up a wounded officer and cared for him in her own house. She went out morning and afternoon, and spent sew en hours a day at the ambulance .sThe cold is intense,' she whote on December 26, yet she went to the Care du Nord to superintend a char,

DOESN'T TOUCH US.

OOESN i IOQka Us,
A beautiful idiotic Partisan ar
bitter of meas fashions announces
that silk pajamas with stiff collar
are the correct thing; that the RI
diculous garment, the nightshirt
is gone forever, and that a gentle
man should be able to wear a
monocle in his eye even in sleep.
We publish this to show our
women friends whose follies of
dress are criticised that there are
other fools in the world besides
the females who are the boule,
ward walkers of Paris. For there
are men who will actually go to
bed in pajamas with. stiff collars
and a glass in one eye simply to
pose as fashionable gentlemen.
There are some persons who
would retire in rubber boots if
Paris fashions decreed it; but be-
I1eVe' US, ladies', the vast majority
of use rise as one man to refute
the assertion that the old-fash-
toned nightsllirt is gone forever.
On the contrary, she's come to
stay, JOY forever, She'll wave as
long as there's one of US left who
knows what comfort is and isn't
afraid of cold feet,
Let the effeminate Frenchman
go to bed in their pajamas, stiff
collars and eyeglasses, if they
can't show that they're gentlemen

manhood will stand by the good
old nightshirt that's just as easy
to sleep in, put on or shed, with or
without buttons.
