Europe Still Lays Behind.

Laundrymen today are prosper.
ons. Their work comes with un-
failing regularity. They can count
on their customers and their Gus
toners count on them. Next to
the supplying of food and clothing
the laundry business is the most
stable in America.
The men engaged in the business
are men of intelligence, ability and
worth, who prize system, organiza-
ton; and into their work they even
put deal of art.
Some of these laundries are verv
sumptuously fitted up with tile
floors and walls, spacious offices
with all modern appliances and val
liable automobile service for COL
lecting and making deliveries.
No country in the world has car
ried the laundry business to the
same degree of perfection that the
United States has. Europe still
lags behind, and in many First class
European hotels the washerwoman
will come in person and solicit your
patronage, just as she used to do
in America, rs or 80 years ago.
The thing that has brought the
change and put it on a firm finan-
cial foundation is Yankee inven-
tive genius. Ask George Westing-
house and Thomas A. Edison if l
am right!

FETES Ga FETE means a feast"
or a celebration) that are annually
given in many ancient towns and
cities. They not only serve TO
arouse and perpetuate local and ma
tional pride and patriotism. but
they are the delight of artists and
of all persons who have either a
taste for the picturesque or an APP
probation of the scenes of a past
age when they are wildly brought
before the eye.
Possibly our continent is now old
enough inaSmuch as several hun
dred years have elapsed since white
men first began to do things within
its borders, to have something of
this kind to recall its former days,
but among us the spirit that in
spires fetes Is yet generally lack
ing. Perhaps a thousand years
from now there will be splendid
fetes in New York, having some of
the ruins Of its skyscrapers for a
background and serving to recall to
the men and women of that time
what life was on this continent in
the days when the first feeble at
tempts at aerial navigation were
looked upon as modern miracles.
But | have no intention to dis
course on the general subject of
fetes; l wish simply to call at
tentlon to a very remarkable ex-
ample of this kind of celebration
which has recently occurred in the
old city of Carcassonne, in south
ern France. If you ever go to Eu-
rope you must try to see Carcass
some. There is a modern town and
an ancient. one, side by side. and
1t is only the ancient one that has
much interest for the traveller. But
its interest is supreme. 1t stands
on little hill and it looks-but |
can hardly tell you how it looks.

Gas you see in the Photography, in

parterre in front of a castle, and
with great audience seated under
the sky, they gave representa- tons.
by famous actors and actresses, of
classic French dramas, recalling
the manners, costumes and scenes
of the olden ages. 1t was an eXhi-
bition of the French sense of the
harmony of things, which we do
not possess as perfectly as they do.
One of the plays presented on
this remarkable stage was THE

which brings before our eyes the
ideas and the doings of an age
which has not ceased to be inter-
esting because it is past.
But on this occasion the repre-
sentation derived a thrilling inter-
est from the fact that the vanished
inhabitants of Carcassonne who
once dwelt on this spot, who walked
through these streets. who manned
these walls and kept watch from
these towers when an enemy's army
was seen approaching with it's bat
tering rams, its catapults, or its
culverins, and its armor glittering
in the southern sunshine-that
these people would have felt per-
fectly at home amid such scenes as
the actors were representing. More
than one imaginative spectator half
expected to see watching faces,
armed men, women in strange Co.'S
tunes, looking down from the old
walls at the sight of this revival
on their own ground, of the scenes
and deeds of their day. One COM
mentator remarks that their ghosts
must surely have been there!

A Mental Picture.
Suppose the city of Albany should
be deserted by it's inhabitants; then
let century after century pass over
1t, leaving its great capitol and its
other buildings standing intact;
finally imagine yourself visiting it
and finding it in the same condi-
ton, thousand years or more lat
er, and you will have in your mind
some idea of the appearance of Car
cassonne. Only Albany is not a
hghting city-except for politicians
and it has no stout walls to re-
sist besiegers, no gates with port
culllses. no loophOles through which
to shoot with crossbows. harque-
busses or musketoons, no donjons,
no barbicanS, and no torture cham
bers. CarCassonne was a fighting
city for l, 500 years-battling against
Visigoths Saracens and enemies of
every kind-and it has kept all
these things, except the people who
used them. They have vanished,
leaving their city in state of pres
erVation more complete than that
of specimen in a museum. 1t is
the mummy of medieval city and
the most perfect thing of its kind
in the world.
In this antique city, which they
have taken the utmost pains to
keep intact, repairing where neces-
sary the ravages of time, the
French this summer have cele-
brated fete than which nothing of
the sort could be more interesting.

He may love them and hope they
may never want. But it takes more
than fair words to make them safe.
There are thousands of men who go
on from day to day, leaving the
family exposed to the most cruel
danger through waste, extrava-
gance and selhshness.
The tragedy of the unprotected
family is witnessed every day If
man really has any pride in the
woman he marries, and in the chill
dren they bring into the world. he
will get down to business and be-
gin TO do things for them.
If he is anything beyond a bluff
at the art of living, if he actually
means to be honest toward those
dependent on him, he will believe
fully in the statement of the bust
ness man at the head of this arti-
Gle

He must work on this basis. even
if it costs him severe self-denial.
He has gone into the game, and he
must not only realize how serious
a game it is, but he must be a good
player.
If he is single. and no one de-
ponds on him, he still has his own
future to protect. or he becomes a
burden to his friends or the recip-
itnt of charity, if he can get it. in
his old age.
He would far better stand on his
own feet. A lot of nonsense has
been written about our independ-
ence. 1t is far better to think Of
their dependence; of the extent to
which other lives have come into
our keeping.
Take the five statements at the
beginning of this article in good
faith. Then those depending on
