At Monte Carlo there is shop where
they rent such articles as men or wo-
men need to assist them to cut a
swath. These things are usually jew
els. For a consideration the proprie-

necklace, and when a countess comes
along who has parted with her diadem
to the pawnbroker she may rent one
for the occasion. There are too many

Gregory had a narrow escape this after
noon from disastrous fire when the two
story building occupied by the kull A.

ing establishment was discovered to be
burning. An alarm was turned in and
the department responded promptly. but
after connections were made no water
was forthcoming and investigation dis
closed the fact that the hose joints we're
frozen. After several minutes delay a
stream OF water was finally put to play
on the burning building and In short
time the block was out Of danger The
fire started In the cleaning department
Of the tailor shop. the origin being In
rather a strange nature. Mr.. Dite was
working In the cleaning room and stepped
into another room TO get warm. He
started to poke the Goals. when his shirt
sleeves became ignited Mr.. Dlte rushed
into the back room where he had been
working Gas fumes filled the air and
his entrance resulted In an explosion
which ignited the whole room. and but
for the timely assistance Of passerby
Mr.. Dits would have no doubt suffered
serious injury.
