BEGGAR HORDES

One Wears Engraving Saying:
"BIind-S Speak French
and English"
By international News Service


PARIS, Dec. 1.-The beggars
have come back to town with the
first cold days.
OF course they are always in
evidence, no matter what the sea-
son u.s. but winter seems to bring
them into greater prominence than
ever.
Almost every church has its spe-
cial beggar. Most often it is an
old woman who shadows one
through the somber church, telling
q sad tale of woe. Often 1t is a
young woman who sits at the door
with baby in her arms.
An Original Beggar
An original beggar. who GER
tainly is not behind the times, is
often to be seen along the Rue dc
Rivoli, wearing a bright and shin
ing copper plate with this engrav-
ing, in both languages:
Blind, speak French and Eng
lish
Another one, still more clever,
wanders about the exterior boule
wards where there are mostly
French people during the mornings,
with his placard which reads:
''Sourd-muet de naissance."
From o'clock on he takes to
the Opera and Rivoli districts, with
their CHIC tea houses and English
and American tourists. Then he
changes his little sign to:
Born deaf and blind
Every bridge also claims spe-
scial beggar who does business there
TOR years at a time. II. ever he
changes to see If the sous are more
plentiful in another quarter it is
quite likely he will return to his
old clients.
The Champs Elysees has its par
ticular kind OF beggar in the form
Of the violet-vendor, young women
carrying babies and offering flow
ers that have likely been stolen or
picked up at the markets.
Their best work is done around
the smart hotels and fashionable
dressmaking houses, where they ap
proach women stepping into their
luxurious limousipes.
