ParlS, July 1i.-l always say au revoir 10 Paris with a gulp despite that in these post -bellum days the city has taken on the qualities of a beautiful but urticaceous plant - nettled with singing thorns, The Paris of exquisite salantry and gushing hospitality-so far as Amer jeans are concerned-has almost vanished.
 l speak of Paris alone and not France as a nation. In the prov inoes the simple and obliging charm that chara cterizes the French is un- changed Largely, and in justice to Paris, it is our own fault. We have been suckers and are paying the price and reaping the whirlwind the sucker sows wherever he goes.
 The duality of prices, aimed a!- most solely at Americans, for th4 British will not stand the gaff. in the we'll as almost every other shop In the city, offers the most impertinent hi-jacking ever devised. Coupled with this is the thieving concierge system in American patronized ho- tels.
 We who are visiting firemen are not so dull we are not perfectly conscious France has it's majority who assay high in integrity and cul- ture. But most of us have reached a point where we would like to meet some of them instead of the rapa- cious rascals that tradesmen and hotel keepers fling in our teeth.
 Multiply this personal incident of the morning by a full score daily and you have fair idea. A suit Of clothes was to be delivered to my hotel room. At 20 minute intervals three door-pounding ruffians - one with vest. another with coat and still another with pantaloons-upsct the household. merely 10 get three tips instead of one.
 If this trifling incident were not a part Of the studied organized petty banditry It would not be mentioned here. But it is. No Frenchman would suffer #. and the most hop ful sign that Americans are not going to suffer it much longer is that Paris shops have not been so idle or hotels so desolated in many years.
 Paris. of all the continental cities, is almost wholly dependent upon tourists for it's financial well being. France as whole can get along without us, but Paris cannot. A second-rate hotel in Paris now has a tariff as high as first-class hotel in New York, without half the ap- pointments or conveniences. And 90 i. goes.

NANCY PAGE
Dolls Dresses Which Come
On and OFF Easily.
By FLORENCE Ia GANKR.

When Joan was Just wee bit Of q
girl her Aunt Nancy had started her
on the collection of dolls. She wanted
her to have doll from every country.
Although Joan was less than years
old, she had the start of creditable
collection. One of the oddities which
Nancy was keeping until Joan should
have grown older was pair of hickory
nut dolls. These came from friends in
New Hampshire.
For this Christmas Aunt Nancy de-
cided that Joan's interests were still
centering around dolls, although now
she had reached the age where she
wanted to dress and undress the toys.
To prove this, Aunt Nancy had to
do nothing but take her young niece
on tour of window wishing and win
dow shopping.
ooh, Aunt Nancy, see that doll, and
look at that pretty baby one over
therew Every minute or two Joan was
squeezing her aunt'S hand in ecstasy
over some new treasure which she saw
in the window.
Aunt Nancy bought dolls trunk, a
small chest OF drawers, miniature
clothes rack or hanger.
The dresses which were part Of the
present were planned so that Joan
could put them on and on her dolls
without any aid from grown-ups.
That meant that the buttonholes and
buttons were not too tiny. Only grown
up and skilled fingers can manipulate
the microscopic fastenings.
The clothes were washable and most

Subconscious Thinking.


A great many people believe that they
are able to think things out in their
sleep. This belief is by no means un-
founded. There is real sense and often
enough, something very practical about
the saying, I'll have to sleep over it."
1t Is now generally conceded that
most OF our thinking goes on subcon-
SctouSly. 1t Is also conceded that some
OF our best deductions come like q flash
out OF that mental nowhere called the
SubconsciouS.
Our conscious thinking Is generally,
II not always, accompanied by feeling
OF the now "thiS" and the now "that."
Along with this feeling Of the presence
OF ideas goes a sort Of emotional tone
or setting. If it were not for your emo
ttonS, you would not know that you are
living. Your emotions will also account
for q lot Of your poor conscious think
ing. That's why you have prejudices.
The thing that makes your subcon-
scious thinking non-conscious Is the
fact that you are not for the time
being bothered by your emotions.
The very moment your dream thoughts
arouse your emotions you are awak-
ened. Your dream recollections are re-
ferred to the emotions which tend to
control your ideas. You make certain
allowances and may arrive at valid de-
ductionS. Just as in day dreaming, it's
your sense Of reality that breaks
through and explodes your air castles.
When you ask time to sleep over a
question you are simply asking permis-
sion to think 1t over internationally.

filled with an assortment and form a
gift box de luxe.
Before starting to make the candies
all ingredients must be at hand. AL
mond paste can be bought in small
cans. One can goes very long way.
There should be an assortment of nuts
and vegetable coloringS. The fondant
can be boiled or be the French or Mex
ican style of uncooked fondant.
Boiled Fondant.-Three cupfuls sugar,
one cupful water and one-eighth tea
spoonful cream Of tartar, or omit this,
and add one tablespoonful light corn
Strup. Put the water and sugar over a
low fire and stir until the sugar Is dis
solved. Then raise the temperature to
the boiling point and add the cream of
tartar or the corn sirup and boil hard
until the candy thermometer registers
238 degrees. Remove instantly, and as
soon as active boiling ceases pour onto
large platter. When it is cool enough
to dent when the finger Is pressed into
it stir with Spatula or wooden spoon
until it is creamy. If it separates be-
fore 1t creams, wet a cloth in cold
water, spread over the fondant and
leave it for few moments. The damp
ness should bring it back again. Should
it not, reheat and proceed as If q fresh
batch. This can be made before the
in a closely covered jar and allowed
thus to ripen.
Uncooked Fondant.-Three table
spoonfulS rich cream, confectionerS'
sugar and butter size Of walnut. Pour
the cream into small mixing bowl and
gradually stir in the sugar. AS this is
done, add the. butter, slightly warmed
so that it will mix easily. When the
mixture is so heavy it can be shaped,
enough sugar has been worked into the
cream.
Whichever fondant is used, separate
it into small portions and color and
flavor each differently. Orange color
ing calls for orange flavoring. Use but
little, lest it softenS the fondant too
much. If it does, work in little con-
fectioners' sugar to make the correct
consistency.
Almond Paste Fondant-A simple
way to make this Is to add q spoonful
Of the paste to two spoonfuls Of either
fondant. Mix thoroughly and soften
with q few drops Of cream If needed.
BY mixing the paste with the fondant,
less of the former will be required and
more delicate paste fondant result.
Form pieces of the fondant colored
green into wee cones and dip them,
wide end, into melted coating chocolate.
Fancy Christmas CandieS.-These are
called almond paste acornS. Form green
almond paste fondant into flattened
leaf shapes. On each press a round
little ball of orange fondant to repre-
sent an orange on its leaf. Form holly
shaped leaves and press five wee balls
Of red fondant on each for holly. Roll
orange or any colored fondant into egg
shapes or balls; roll in finely ground
nut meats or chocolate shot. Cut a
line in the ton Press the fondant back
a little and stand a blanched almond
or pistachio nut upright in it, A wee
tub-shaped piece Of red fondant with
slivers of candied citron forced down
into the top to suggest pine needles

ODD DRAMAS OF HISTORY
Monarchs Bow the Knee Humb1y Born Financier
BY J. GLASS.
BY J. p. GLASS,

Men with money are always able to
maintain their dignity, particularly If
they have the independence and quick
wit OF Samuel Bernard, the great French
f1nancier.
It is related that Bernard was Wis
tied once by the Marquis de Faviere,
who was noted for being excellent at
borrowing money, but very lax in re-
paying 1t. The audaciouS marquis said ::
I am going to astonish you greatly. I
am not acquainted with you, but ask
you to lend me 500 louis"
II shall astonish you still more, /"
said Bernard. Il am acquainted with
you and will lend you the sum you
ask"
The flnancier came from the most
humble beginnings. His father was a
painter. Samuel built an immense for
tune-so immense that kings came to
him for loans.
Louis the XIV, lie Grand Monarque," 4"
that naughty sovereign who said, "The
state-I am the state" was the first
king to seek favor from him. Louis
needed money at the time Of the War
OF the Succession and needed 1t badly.
He and his ministers decided that Ber-
nard was the man who could supply
the want, but would he do it.
There is one means by which much
can be Decentralization flattery.
It was employed in this instance. One
day news spread over Paris that Sam
uel Bernard had been received at Marty,
where ne had spent full quarter of an
hour walking with Louis XIV, in his
garden, with the monarch chatting
most pleasantly.
Grand as Louis was, he was willing
to humble himself for money. Samuel

The people who make a real splash IN

lively that fate Is stronger than they.
knowing that, they do the lob that
lies before them and wait for the unex-
pected. When that comes along they
leap to take advantage of It.
Think over your own life. Isn't Il
true that the best things in It have
come to you Unexpectedly? That when
you tried to look around the corner and
plan, you wasted your timer
Years ago had a quarrel with one
OF my customers; no words were ex-
changed, but our relations were cool
thought had been treated badly. One
day this customer came to me and
asked me to work for him again. I said
no. Then circumstances rose that made
it absolutely necessary. I went back,
but with rebellion in my heart and
secret tears.
Well, that turned out the most
profitable and kindly relation ever
had in business. And it led directly 10
all the most profitable work I did
later on.
We never know just what we are do
ing. We think we do, but we go gayly
to our worst disasters and sadly toward
what turn out to be our biggest sue

That sounds hopeless, bat It Is just
the reverse. It's rather restful. isn't It.

Bernard offered him a loan. It was
graciously accepted. The financier's
ner must have hid supercilious thoughts.
When Louis XIV reigned over France
ne, too, felt the need of a large loan
and careleSsly sent a note to Samuel
Bernard asking for few millions. It
was not necessary, in his mind. to be
courteous to this low-born money grub
Der.
The fnancier rebuked him. when
something is wanted from one" he said
In note he wrote the King, "the least
That can be done is to ask for it in
person."
Louis XIV, so to speak, bent the royal
knee. He invited Bernard to court, re-
ceived him pleasantly, and had him
shown over the place. The shallow. de-
nauched court jested and jeered at the
lntruders expense, it never occurring to
1t that Louis XIV was the star actor in
the farce. Bernard didn't mind, For
the second time he had made a king
lower himself for money. He went
away contented and the next day sent
the cash Louis so badly wanted.

A Sermon for Today
By REV. JOHN R. oUNN.
Animalism.

"If the dead are not raised, let US
eat and drink, for tomorrow we die"
/ Cor, 1922.
am r,4ng this text, not for its
reference TO the resurrection, but TO
can attention TO the phrase, LET us
eat and drink, for tomorrow we die"
The apostle is evidently quoting the
phrase from the Epicurean manual or
creed. There are multitudes of people
who are still following this old Epicu-
rean theory of life to which he refers
The only philosophy many people
know anything about is the philosophy
Of animaliSm. The only gospel that
appeals to them Is the gospel OF the
flesh.
Some believe that this life ends all.
that there is no more beyond, and that
the one thing to do is to have good
time while you can. But there are
many who profess to believe in religion
and its teaching of immortality, and
yet live as If this life were all, igncring
their spiritual natures and seeking only
to crafty their animal appetites and
passions.
What fools human beings make of
themselves, bartering away their souls
for little seeming pleasure in the few
days of this mortal life. What a
tragedy to see one endowed with the
capacity to live like q god. yet living
like an animal. Il Is pity that men
should make swine Of themselves, when
the5 might attain 70 0odlike manhood.
