Even in Shops.


PARIS, July 4.-Paris has the
ticket mania. Tickets, tickets
everywhere. If you want to take a
street car, get ticket. There are
little. packets of them at every
stopping piace--a ticket for every
car. that passes. A car comes
along, the conductor calls out the
numbers, and that ticket is finish
ed. But another soon takes ITS
place. t
''Where are you going?" the con-
ductor asks and brings forth a
little ticket from his bag.
Punch in the presence of the
passengARE," wrote Mark Twain
many years ago, and the same
thing is going on today.
"a bluff strip slip for a two-cent
A pink strip slip for a three-cent
fare,
A blue strip slip for a five-cent
Punch in the presence OF the
passengARE."
If you want to board an autobus,
get a ticket. There are tickets in
front of one and tickets behind one.
II you prefer IHc SUBWAY Sc q
ticket. First class are pink and
second green.
!. The latest .crink is the shop
ticket" which is to be found in a
little Paris store famous for its
silks. There are more buyers than
sellers. Get a ticket. There are
little pink ones for the purpose,
and madame pulls one off and sits
in a, chair patiently awaiting the
usher to call out the number.
