GLOOM DEPARTS FROM PARIS

Mile. Bresii. artiste of tho theatre, sues to recover from aS former friend bathtub of gold wherein she was wont to take her grand bain chaud before the prince married rich and virtuous ma tron. A Russian widow arrives in Paris to recount to enraptured friends and re- porters that she escaped from bolshevik bandits only through the distinguished courtesy of wee bit English professor gentleman by chance in Petrograd who, with inestimable goodness, married the lady to confer upon her the safety of British citizenship and who, having en- dowed her with that priceless boon and escorted her to Denmark, returned to his professional duties in England swearing like gentleman to consider the marriage only as polite fiction. The Queen mother Of Denmark, added the fortunate Rus sian lady, heard her story between tears and laughter. Paris omitted the tears and stopped laughing to exclaim that the English are truly remarkable race.
 These are but few of the many fas- cinating stories cabled from Paris in one day, but enough to prove that that for. tunate city is well, and that the chief of her publicity bureau is enjoying the same blessing.
