Interest.


n ARIs.-The burning Of the
huge department store"
known to all Parisians as the
''Printemps." has brought out an old,
anecdote possessing much philo-
sophical interest for students OF the
cause of human success. 1t appears
that the same establishment was re-
stroyed by fire forty years ago. Its
proprietor at that time was a Mon
sieur Jalusot, who would seem to
have possessed other qualities be-
sides great ability in the buying and
selling of goods-as successful mer-
chants usually do.
The fire that destroyed Mons.
Jaiusot's big store burned three days
and was sensational in it's incidents
so that everybody was talking about
it, When il had burned itself out,
Mons. Jalusot was financially ruined
After the cinders had been raked
over for any possible valuable that
might remain intact. the unfortu-
nate proprietor took his umbrella,
the only property remaining to him
except the clothes on his back, and
went to the office of the commits.
saire of police. Presenting himself
before the officer, he held out his
umbrella and said:
VOLTA, Monsieur le Commissaire,
tout ce qui me reste. C'est ma
seule fortune Je mai pas
autre chose"
Behold, Mr.. Commissioner, all
that remains to me. 1t is my sole
fortune. / have not another thing)
This does not seem, In itself, a
very remarkable statement, but 1t
gained force from the remarkable
personality behind It, for Mons.
Jalusot's tone and manner were so
effective that the commissioner
could not keep the incident to him
self, but Immediately told 1t to the
newspapers as well as to his friends
and In day the story was all over
Paris, and curiously enough 1t was
taken up by writer's for the variety
stage and told in couplets that were
repeated in the theaters, while the
popular ballad about the lie

umbrella OF Mr.. JalusoU.
So great fire from so small
spark seems all the more surprising
when we learn that this incident
was believed to be the means OF
remalIing Mons. Jalusot's fortune.
II concentrated attention and sym
pathy and confidence upon him az
a more direct and more ordinary
appeal would have failed to do, and
the great business rose again out
of It's ashes.
II is morally certain that Mons.
Jalusot, II he did not foresee the
full effect of his maneuver, at least
had the possibility Of II in his mind.
and therein lies the moral of this
story. What he did was to arouse

the delicate sense that the Parisians
have for such things, were the prin-
cipal sources OF success.
The very littleness of the means
employed was an advantage as long
as the spark was so deftly applied
that IL could not fail to take. The
completeness OF his ruin was also an
essential element in the play.
All that his reason told him was
that, in some manner which would
be effective because uncomnon, he
must reach the sympathetic interest
of the public, without exhibiting any
sign of weakness. He must make
people help him without asking them
TO do so. To beg for aid would be
fatal: yet his real situation must be
frankly made known, and the aid
must come of it's own accord.
He must become the hero Of
story. and then everybody would
crowd to him. The contrast be-
tween the lone umbrella and the
gigantic fortune was Theatrical in
itself. All Paris was talking about
the great fire and what IL had
swallowed up and to tell all Paris
through the commissioner OF po-
lice that the only thing left was
an umbrella, and that the owner
OF the umbrella had nerve enough
to reveal the completeness OF his
ruin. was an act which, done with
the touch OF genius, would open
a road to recovery.
When Mons. Jalusot reopened
his store, not a person who had
heard tho story Of the umbrella
would fail to visit It. Luck had
nothing to do with It. Luck is
negative In quality and never puts
two things together to make
third. 1t was the umbrella and

At the stair-head he found a

his arm, riotously receiving his
equally riotous guests. most OF whom

least three canvases in the Metro

tanning callers, might plan to use the
living room for her bedroom.
Since you do not wish to have
one of the folding davenports, by
all means think about folding table
bed. This would give the room not
the least semblance of a bedroom.
These table beds are not as we'll
known by the public in general as
they deserve to be. Folded, they
appear to be a nice library table
without the least suggestion Of a
bed about them. Unfolded, they
provide all the comforts of real bed.
They come in both single and
double size. If the space Is small,
/ suggest buying a single bed size
table. The price varies accord
ing to the size and the wood and
finish. But, at any rate, they have
the virtue Of giving no appearance
whatever of a bed and thus one
may have a living room that may
at moments notice be converted
into a sleeping room.
Where space permits. one might
consider the day bed, so popular at
the present time.
The folding couch or the box
couch, in which one may store win
ter garments, unused articles, laun-
dry and the like, are all worthy
Of consideration where space per
mits. A folding couch purchased
secondhand by a ballroom girl
was converted into a thing Of beau
ty by the addition OF a cover Of
monks cloth in rather dark
shade OF tan. Three pillows of
the same material were brishtened
by the addition Of a icross-stitch de-
sign In bright yellow, green, blue,
orange and black.
