It was even held in the same- place then as now--the square before the Church:of Bt. Felice--and its distinctive charac ter has not been lost through the cen turies. These are hard times, even in France, and perhaps there is less buy- ing now. . But the people go in the same numbers, and in the case of great fairs, like the Foire de Paris, which ended just a little while ago, they take their lunch and make a day of it. The Foire de Paris is the srofiiot of all the annual fairs. One sees there a little of everything that the city pro- duces or trades in, whether it be a steel crane or some pate de fole gras. Covering many acres out at the Porte de Versailles on the edge of the city, it 'has its own great permanent build- ings, There are streets of booths-- miniature shops, where one can buy anything under the sun; whole blocks devoted to wines and liquors, others to sausages, another to rugs from Al- gers and 'still another to sweetmeats.

At 'the triroad intersection, often referred to as a "bottleneck," cars frequently are stalled for several miles, particu- larly on Sundays and holidays. The task of directing traffic at this that go the rounds of the city, a month here and a month there, from Spring until Autumn. They have their merry - go - rounds, foxtune tellers, shooting galleries and candy booths. And one by one come the little spe- cial fairs--the Sausage Fair, the Wine Fair, the Flower Fair and many others, It must be good business, for the mer- chants would never dream of letting 'an opportunity go by for holding .a fair, and it must be advantageous, for the housekeeper and the man in the street would never miss a chance of going to a fair, unlesu they go for the amusement, of which there is always plenty, > tion is not an easy one.

Spectator last week, The bodies are in some respects easier to care for than the souls. If, in historic language, we recognize the inalienable right of every Englishman to life, liberty and the pursuit of hap- piness, the first task is to see that his outward existence is such as to make that triple aim in some measure real- "Hae he got wheels in his head™ Yes, and an extra tire." izable.

It is not sufficient merely to clear it out of the system--it must be kept out. For 10 years this man bas been free from the trouble: -- "A bad attack of rheumatic fever 10 years ago laid me up for four months: When I started work I could not raise my right arm sufficiently to button my collar at the back. Having to get my own living, I became very anxious, because of my arm being so weak, so I started taking Kruschen Salts in small doses straight away, and have been taking it ever since. I am pleased to say I have not been troubled with rheumatism during this time, Although I am 61 years of age, I feel quite fit for my work."J, E. M, Kruschen dissolves away those needle-pointed crystals of uric acid which are the cause of all rheumatic troubles. It will also flush these dis- solved crystals clean out of your sys- tem, Then if you keep up "the little dally dose," arric acid will never form again, Ee' Loneliest Woman in London's Limehouse How many Chinese women are there in London's Limehouse today? Two hundred? One hundred? Fifty? Wrong! There is only one! Bhé is Mrs, Sap Sam Sing, a love ly but lonely little lady; Limehouse and Pennyfields have changed, and this is one of the sur- prising facts the reporter learned about the great transformation, Mrs, San Sam Sing is a typical daughter of the Orient. Her husband keeps a general store in Limehouse Causeway, where all sorts of Chinese delicacies such as bamboo shoots, Sha Ho rice noodles, and dried lichen can be obtained. Mrs, Sing has tiny feet. Her dainty hands move in quick expressive ges. tures, She has a wealth of lustrous black hair, and almond eyes with lids that droop shyly when strangers are present. Searcely ever 'does she stop to speak, for, although she has lived in Limehouse for several years, her knowledge of English is still limited to a few simple words, To all her neighbors she Is as much a mystery as on the first day she settled in their midst, "I feel awfully sorry for her," eaid one of her near neighbors, "Of course she 1s very happy with her husband, but when he is busy in his shop she seems as lonely as a little orphan," Limehouse, Jeusytelds, once the scne Sern 1 orgies and blood- if weep rival tongs, he BePeioT swift and silent All that is a thing of the population numbers scarcely one 1 70 longer a warren of opium In fact, in the whole of China- there are now only three con- po the whole of the Chinese tell Jhe truth all the time.

After all, it isn't your needs that keeps you broke; it is your wants. Before the ceremony he tells her: "how dif- ferent she is," but afterward he says: "you're just like all other girls." In any family discussion, the share-the- work movement is enthusiastically en- dorsed by mother. Too many people are looking for a soft way to get hard cash, The wise person wastes no time whining for things he knows he can't get. A girl who knows one boy understands them all, but a boy may know all girls and not understand one. The forgotten man is the waiter who used to be remembered after the meal. The best way for a man to keep silent is to have a quarrel with his wife. The less heart a man puts into a task the more labor it requires. An executive is one who gets paid for having sense enough to hire somebody else to do the work. Most of-us would be will ing to settle down if we were only able to settle up. Many of us eat too much, talk too much, and work and think too little. It's hard to say which gives the modern father the most gray hairs-- trying to keep a son in college or try- ing to keep a daughter in clothes, Marjorie -- "I take half an hour beauty sleep every afternoon." Clarice--"You should make it longer, darling." Beautiful girls are more plentiful than intellectual ones, and a grouch remarks that this is in keeping with the demand. We hear a good deal about will power. But, after all, what good does will power do? A mule has will power, but who wants to be a mule? Now they tell us that the back of her neck is the safest place to kiss a girl, We never had any hint that the idea of safety entered into the matter at all.

In other words, what are your chances of mak- ing a comeback after you've been under the knife? It depends pretty much upon your social status, yeur occupation, upon whether you're fat or thin, and upon a lot of other things, Dr. A. Basil Rooke, writing in the current Practi- tioner lists a few of them. Jews and Welshmen have the worst record, he finds. Upperclass patients generally have less chanee than their social inferiors, Clergymen, doctors, and nurses are bad patients. HEAVY PEOPLE POOR RISKS. Lightly-built and wiry persons are better risks than the heavily-built and muscular, Very thin persons, how- ever, are poor risks owing to their high metabolic rate (in lay terms: the rate at which they burn up energy) and lack of nutritional reserve. The '"skinnies," at the same time, can be operated upon more rapidly than the "fatties."" Generously-larded patients present an especially bad prospect for abdominal surgery. As a rule, writes Dr. Rooke, the higher the social status, the worse the operative risk. This he attributes to in-breeding and over-development. Aen Skunks Like Honey London,--Skunks continue to ravage the -Belmont locality and 17 hives of bees were destroyed recently at the Layfield Farquhar Apiary. According to local naturalists, the skunks scratch on the hives and when the bees emerge they are caught with one paw, the skunk meanwhile holding the other paw over its eyes to avoid being stung. Poi¥ned eggs were set, and five skunks were found dead nearby.
