Women and Municipal Affairs.

dIO SviuIISbF~
Froisay, small town halfway be-
tween Paris and Amiens in France, is
said to be the only civilized commu-
nifty in which the municipal affairs are
entirely in the hands of women. The
mayor is woman, and so is the su-
perintendent of the railway station,
the switchman, the mail carrier and
the town barber. Nine. Leseboro is
the telegraph messenger and Nine.
Druhou- Marchardin is the drummer
whose duty it is to announce each
proclamation of the mayor. Nine. Dru-
hou-Marchardin is described as an oc-
togenarian who has held her, post
through wind and rain for upwards of
20 years. The letter carrier, Nine.
Doubour, has held her Office for more
than ten years and goes about with
her letters regardless of the weather.
