 Every time l come to Paris go on d perfume jag. wandering about from shop to shop to be all squirted up with samples. Nothing pleases A perfume sales person so much as q customer who will try out new scents.
 They sneak up on you with atom izers and-psst, psst, psst-before you know 1t you are fairly drenched with some exotic odor. l have come home from one of these excursions to have the dog crawl under the bed and refuse to come out Dogs hate perfume.
 Indeed, upon one occasion I ar rived looking as though l had been l tucked in flour barrel. It develop cd that some enthusiast had slipped up on my blind side and deluged me with sachet powder. I always sweep into a perfume parlor and creep out. | They pass out so many samples l seldom buy.
 Perfume making is the largest single industry in France. It's rich est men are parfumers. NJ. Coty for instance, is a multi millionaire, own- CT of newspapers, race track stables and rare paintings. Houhigant, Caron, Lubin are similarly in con- trol of huge and growing fortunes.
 Most of the essences for perfume making come from the flower coun- try near de Grasse in Southern France. There are many manufac- turers who are interested solely in the artistic side of the business and not it's commercial rewards. They do not offer their output for general sale-just for connoisseurs.
 There is a perfume known to the perfume minded" as No. 3. Many establishments offer a No. 8. But the" No. is only offered to an eX- tremely select and limited clientele. Its secret formula is said to have been in the possession of one aristo- cratic French family for 150 years.
 Perfume prices have gone beyond all bounds of reason, due largely to the heavy sales in America. Most French perfumes in the past 10 years have increased in price more than 2,000 per cent, although the rising cost of production has not reached 100 per cent. Perfume mak- ing is now another racket.

 I have never before been so com pletely burnt out with French ser wants as on this trip. Always the servant class here has wheeled the visitor but there was an appeal in their complete obeisance.

 Paris is packed with pouting wives. l have run across four with whom I am acquainted. They leave their husbands suddenly in a huff over some real or fancied pique and come here determined to sever the banns. But they soon cool off and after awhile their lives become a waiting game-a game of waiting for hubby's cable to 'Come on home and be yourself"

REOPEN CATHEDRAL
AMID P|OUS SCENES.
Hundreds of Faithful Gather
in Mexico City After
Four-Year Wait.

BY Gable TO The Star.
MEXICO CITY, August 1S.-The
historic Cathedral of Mexico City has
been reopened after four years of
suspension. The opening was marked
by impressive scenes, enacted by hun
dreds of men and women, mostly the
latter, of all classes of society, who
waited patiently in the yard Of the an
cient edifice for the opening of the
doors.
Many of the faithful had gathered
at dawn, bringing collapsible stools and
packets of sandwiches to sustain them
during the long wait. The girls and
women all wore the traditional black
lace mantilla, head and shoulder shawl,
which is customary for feminine wor-
shippers In Spanish countries.
Bell Ringers Arouse Expectancy.
A murrnur of expectation swept over
the assembled crowd at 80 bell ringers
entered the small front door to climb
the belfries and MAKE ready the pom
derous bells which have not rung for
four years. At the last stroke of nine
the bells pealed jcyously forth as the
signal of the opening of the church and
the start of the feast of the Virgin
Mary, patroness of the cathedral.
M@lv old men and women wept with
10y, falling on their knees and mutter-
ing prayers at the sound of the bells.
The five handsome, oaken hand-carved
doors opened on their creaking hinges,
stiff from long unuse, and the crowds
filed in, eager but orderly, while most
of the older folk evidenced extreme
emotion,
the cathedral has been in the hands
of the government since the contro-
versy between the Mexican government
and the Roman Catholic Church of
Mexico in the Fall of 1926. The con-
troversy ended in 1929, but the
cathedral remained under government
control because of the necessity of ex-
tensive repairs.
Art Treasures Are Famous.
The cathedral is one of the most
magnificent holy buildings in the new
world, famous for it's interior and ex-
terror beauty and art treasures. Her
nando Cortes, Spanish conqueror of
Mexico, conceived the plan of erecting
splendid church in Mexico City, and
for many years the construction OF the
cathedral dragged on, until in 1910 the
second tower was completed. The
cathedral stands in the heart of the
city and is visited annually by many
foreign tourists.

Acidity is brought on by our I'M
natural eating, excessive smoking and
irregular hours. 1t impairs digestion,
and causes fermentation and putre-
faction in the intestines and drags us
down physically and mentally.
