Gorgeous Crown M ade In Paris For Heae Of
 Fair Rumanian Queen


 ii}E 1g f.Ig
 PARIS, Nov. S.--Kings totter anu kingdoms fall, but new crowns are always being made. Everything in the house of Falize, in the fashionable Rue St. Honore, was hidden away to make place for the golden crown made to adorn the head of the beautiful Queen of Rumania
 Behind silken curtains it reposed upon bed of royal purple velvet under the imperial "N," for members of the house of Falize, were in for mer days jewellers to the royal and also imperial house of France and still use their right to the arms. The crown is oval in shape and made to fit the brow instead of the top of the head, an innovation in crown making. It is studded with moon stones, turquoises, emeralds and gar nets, with emblems and heraldic bear ings. The long chains which hold the earpieces are in the form of grains of wheat, and a curious little cross, I the emblem of the queen, finishes them off.
 The crown was worn at the long l deferred coronation of the king and l queen at Bucharest on October 15.
 "All that glitters is not gold" but
 this beautiful headpiece certainly is.
 Venice has come to Paris in the form of novel taxis, which are running
 along the boulevards. They are fash l toned like a gondola, with curved
 stems and Ventian-like lamps fore and aft, with seats for two only.
 I A tax on tips is the latest proposal
 to make life more miserable for the Epoor waiter in Paris. His life is not ] exactly a bed of roses in the best of times. In almost all restaurants he I must pay for the privilige of carrying
 heavy trays of "pommes frites" and beef steaks. His meals come in for nothing, but he must depend upon his tips for all the money he accumulates. I There is no way of appraising the an nual amount he receives from his gen { erous public. Sometimes it is much 1 and sometimes it is mighty little. Now ] where is he going to find himself if the 1 tax collector comes around and cal j culate when times happen to be fat? Doctors as we'll as dentists will soon
 be able to hang out their signs of l Painless Surgery" Dr. Romieu has l recently made the discovery of pro- l cess of painless dissection. The sub ! ject must first be washed in warm water, then plunged into weak solu- l ton of benziyine to which has been l added drop of oxygenated water. In
 stantly the whole nervous system of the patient becomes blue and renders very easy the study of the body. In fact, the operation is not only painless but even bit of pleasure!
 l The Little Green Ribbon Club" organized for bashful maidens and lonely bachelors, held its first meet
 ing recently at the Marie of the
 Fourth Arondissement and, appropri-
 ately enough, in the room devoted to marriage ceremonies.
 "What nationalities shall we ad- l mito" demanded an Italian by birth, now a naturalized Frenchman. Every
 one voted for the Chinese, but de
 nounced the Bolsheviki. Social eve
 nings, fetes, excursions, club dues and a club journal were discussed. Il "Yes, let's do have journal and
 keep the receipts for our future chill dren!" exclaimed one enthusiastic member.
 "Our future children?" No one had thought of them. But, after all, why
 not-ca viendra!
