Paris. Jan. u-Many have always
thought and still think Paris is the only
place in the world where life Is really
worth living. But they have not always
realized that what they like most is not
the gay life Of the boulevards, the gilt
tering cafes, the magnificent SHOPS OF
Avenue De rOpera and Rue de Ia PAX,
nor even the gay revues and naughty
but bright and nifty little plays thai
would be impossible anywhere but in
Paris. But it is the uncertainty, the eX-
citement that Is always in the air.
Nothing Is ever certain in Paris except
that the people are always living in
dread of the great strike with which they
are always threatened, but which never
comes. The thought of this awful strike
makes every one shudder most delight
fully and gives the same sensation as
when watching a play at the Grand Guig-

get hold of provisions.

as IL they were In danger Of a siege. The

and night people stand In front OF his
various stores fighting for chance to
buy at least a ham. a dozen sausages,

always have to go empty-handed.
The other day the people were told that
a plot had been discovered to cut on the
city's supply of water, and all went TO
work and stored up water in all the hol-
low vessels they could lay their hands
on. An American millionaire bought
10eoo liters OF spring water from Evian
TO be sure not to have to go without
his cold bath In the morning.
The people think only Of how TO escape
starvation. People who meet accidentally
and are absolute strangers ask In the
most interested manner: How many
hams have you got? How many kilos
macaroni. How much sugar, and what
not" -
Then. when the dreaded day of the
expected strike arrives, no one would

Berlin. Jan. 1.-THE, year which has

urate many reforms in this city. Berlin
began reforming itself as early as New

London. Jan. 11.-Queen Mary has now
finally laid down her plans for the next
two months subject only to such altera
lions as may become necessary IL the
Kaiser or the King and Queen of Dem
mark make their proposed visits here
at earlier dates than now intended, or
a general election should become neces-
sary. To soothe the feelings of the
royal borough. and especially to enable
the tradespeople there to get rid OF the
stock they had laid in, the court will
remain at Windsor until about the LIST
of March, when the royal family will
take up residence at Buckingham, and
the usual number of court festivities will
be given, besides two levees at st. James
Palace Parliament will once more be
opened by the King personally. and for
the first time the young Prince of Wales
will participate in the ceremony, wear
ing the robes of a knight of the Garter.
Apropos of the Prince Of Wales, the
Queen is still strenuously opposing his
formal entrance into society. and 1t was
very much against her wishes that he
became a member Of the Marlborough
Club, which Queen Mary looks upon with
great disfavor, probably because the late
King Edward was very fond of it, and
the Queen knew his taste. She could
not prevent her oldest son from becoming
a member. but II is safe to predict that
many months will pass before the young
prince is permitted to visit the premises
Of the club, as Queen Mary does not
want him to run the risk of getting too
fond of club life until she has found
suitable bride for him. who may help her
in checking any tendencies in that d.
rection which the young prince may have
inherited.
Fairly safe at Oxford.

Princess of Wales naturally occupies
the mind of all loyal British subjects
