 The other day, for instance, was to garden party given by the Duch- ess Dondeauville in her palace in i RHe de Varenne. say ''the duchess for here nobody, ever thinks of mentioning any name but that of the hostess. When French mar ried lady mentions her home, she ] taken apartments" or i've live in the Rue de Varenne'' but simply "I have | taken apartments" or q live'' or "I give a garden party"
 But to come back to the Duchess garden party-after the "gouter' we went to an open air theater built in the beautiful park. iOn the stage stood Mile. Polaire who is. still as popular as she is ugly, and the au- : dience went almost into spasms as she sang her songs, which were cer- tainly the most risque I ever heard.

The. hair fishers keep a sharp eye on these ladies' they can see at a glance whether their coiffure has been added to. If, as a result of trying on hats the .'chichis" fall to the floor, the hair fishers, i who carry sticks with hooks at the endI adroitly seize them, and the hair is transferred to their pockets.
 As soon as the hair fishers have obtained sufficient number of chi chis'' they call on certain ladies hair dressers, who pay good prices for the hair which, after being attended | to, fizzed. and made glossy, is soldsI to other ladies'. who will in turn lose the meshes. ' s'
