in Paris who. for the Fumf Of $200,
will enamel( a face so that thle com -

An A.merican girl wvent over to

alone with their companion inh the
carriage, a middle aged Fren(thman,
lhe insulted her. Sile told hier
bIrother wvhen h1 retnud, and1
thero was a fearful outburst. T1ho
Frenchman gave his card, and said
lie was deceply sorry, an I would
abide by the decision of the other
as5 to tuoe cJ1nsequioneos to enuo for
his mistake, but certinily lhe never
suspected Maidemoisello was a lady,
as she wvas painted I The b)rother
aplpealed to the boat author:it,ios inl
Paris in -these matters, to learn
what the code was under these cir
culmtantces, and all the med01 of the
Jockey (31ub1 told him thamt if his
sister's eye lashes were blackened
and her cheeks rouged, he could
have no redress, as thlese practices
were never followed by une
demoiselle dus monde.
Thero is another practice I wish.
onr woman would abandon. and n
whi"ih is far m.oro() general than paint.
ilg' tho face, and that is, loading
themusulve with jewelry when travel
Ung. In Europe you can toll
A Iat;ricall women as far as you can
seet them oilthe )ottS anld railways
by the quttaltity of jingling bracolots,
flishing :iril ngs,uneountable finger
rings. atd lod neck-chains, lockots,
ani cI it e!au i.;, which prolcail their
lack of k(ennes.i of porco)tion in

with (iI'itliar )late: glass till arouid

I promise you. Every tino they

tucket collectors was str"atppod
atrolucl his waist, and hung in front
of him, so that ho could put his
hand m it e.asil,y. The ladies made
p:irhmases of anything and overy
t haing that suited their fancy, never
asl: ,t the price, and turned away
\vi hout si iking of money ; the
C': mitier' then inst ulv alvtcod and
s, t led the are,nut from the bagt,
which wis, as I. saw while he tado
ch;1 ia.e, liturally full of gold and
