traffic in the famous "savon de Marseile"-
soap of Marseiles.
Here it might be said that Marseilles is
still the flthiest town Of France-the "Cloaca
MaXima Of the Mediterranean" as it is known
to travellers despite the fact that it has
been waxing rich on soap ever since the
thirteenth century, when olive oil soap was
first manufactured there.
The scarcity Of soap in a city such as
Paris where 6OOoO0,0Oo pounds of linen are
washed annually, may provoke the mrth Of
professional humorists, like the noble Georges
de la Fouchardiere (who wrote an article
recently in praise Of dirt-"Eloge de la
Crasse'), but it is no laughing matter to
most people
one Of the principal sufferers is the Parish

reputation. she considers a spot of dust on
her white lace collar or petticoats as scandal

what horrible forebodings does she face

high society TO employ street slang.
An hour later, while he was performing
his mental labors. two autos from Delmcrs
factory on the Quai Iemmspcs, stopped in

thousand pounds of soap. Pcyres unloadCd
the merchandise and stacked it in the cellar.

The Counts racket was highly remuner-
alive while it lasted, for Paris has been
practically a soapless city ever since the
debacle. Good soap is only sold clandestinely,
as in Marseilles, where the authorities
rounded up ten emulators Of the Count the
other day, and seized an undeclared stock of
$4,000 little soap cakes.
