Paris, Of course, had it's unconven-

which was allowed to pass on the ap-
parent presumption that they were
the native habits Of the persons prac-

In all this the French people had no
concern and took but little interest.

back the borrowed money. In theory,
the patriotic New Yorker with as little
as ten dollars who wants to help out the
city may put in bid for ten-dollar
promise to pay. In practice, however,
the ten-dolar buyer doesn't bid, and the
big dealers buy them in lots Of million
dollars, more or less.
In order to get ten-dollar piece it is
necessary for some dealer to find an
owner of bigger piece-say hundred
dollar bond-who wants to split it up.
There is never more than sporting
chance of getting one from dealer, and
