Every great city has its identifying sound and that of Paris is the honking of ten million geese. Since Paris streets, run every which way and jut out at every angle motor traffic is regulated, not by eye but by ear. One drives, one crosses streets, one leaves curb- stones éntirely by ear, as one some- times learns music. The Paris auto horns do not toot, they actu- ally “honk” and “quack.” The sub- ways are noiseless and there are no elevateds. There is no roar of the city traffic to greet the ears as in Manhattan. Only the quacking of autos in distress as they shoot, by the windows, * ey They say that Paris taxis are the cheapest in the world. But they forget to mention that af hours when one is most likely to want a taxi, they becom _ 8ive as any in New York and twice * as hard to find. Most folk can do without a taxi until 11 o’clock at night. And then it is the meter rate is doubled, while the average drive» will candidly tell you he in- tends going home and has no inten- tion of changing his plan. The first lesson an American must learn upon arriving in Paris is this: he cannot change the habits of the Frenchman, And the habits of the Frenchman are tuned to a leisurely pace. He regulates most carefully most of the hours of his day, and most of the days of the week. He will not be rushed and he will not be hurried. His noon hour begins at 12 and his lunch hours ends at 2. At 12 he begins to shut up his shop or his business, the blinds are drawn at noon and the doors are locked until ready to reopen in the afternoon. All busi- ness suspends until after the noon meal, e average American gasps with amazement or indignation, but “there is nothing he can do about it. They tell me that the average French business man will trust neither his cash drawer nor his business with his help, When he goes to lunch or dinner the en- tire force must go and the business must close. 7 The other day I went into the office of one of the biggest steam- ship lines in connection with fu- “ture reservation, As the gong struck the noon hour, down came the blinds and the crowd of in- formation seekers were itely exoted. happened to be in fini.

Even in the} heart of the exclusive “shoppe” belt | ang ness would be considered until after the noon recess, On Monday, which is the “big sale” day of American cities, all Paris shuts up business sv that the stores and office buildings can be cleaned. An army of cleaners goes through all the places and even on the main thoroughfares one finds a repetition of Sunday. And‘since most places close “down Saturday afternoon, it is apparent that this not such a hard life. Whereas American janitor serv- ices never ceases, and cleaning out of places takes on the appect of perpetual motion, Pari@ ‘observes “Monday cleaning” even as Gopher Prairie looks upon Saturday as bath night. I have yet to discover what the Paris bath night may be, since baths are so difficult to achieve. If you were to ask me what the greatest difficulties of Paris might be, I should unhesitatingly reply: postage stamps, matches and baths. But please don’t ask me why. GILBERT SWAN.

He wanted his money back —not somebody in jail. That’s why I put my oar in, and asked about the security. “Pfyfe, of course, denied it; but when pressed as to how Benson knew he’d pay the note, he retired into a cloud. I had to suggest the confession as the listeye explana- tion, which showed that something else was in his mind—something he didn’t care to mention, And the way he jumped at my suggestion bears out my theory.” “Well, what of it?” Markham asked impatiently.. “Oh, for the gift of tears!” moan- ed Vance. “Don’t you see that there's someone in the background—some- one connected with the security?

She's coming here at 5:30.” Vance was unimpressed by the ane nouncement. “I rather imagined she'd telephone during her lunch hour.” Again Markham gave him one of his searching scrutinies. “There’s something damned queer going on around here,” he observed, “Oh, quite,” returned Vance care- les “Queerer than you could pose sibly imagine.” For 15 or 20 minutes Markham endeavored to draw him oyt; but Vance seemed suddenly possessed of an ability to say nothing with the blandest fluency. Markham finally became exasperated. “I’m rapidly coming to the con- clusion.” he said, “that either you had a hand in Benson’s murder, or you're a phenomenally good guesser.” “There is, y’ know, an alterna- tive,” rejoined Vance. “It might be that my aesthetic hypotheses and etaphysical deductions—as you call ’em -are working out—eh, what?” A few minutes before we went to ch Swacker announced that Tracy ad just returned from Long Island y| with his report. “Is he the lad you sent to look affaires du_ coeur?” Vance asked Markham, “For, if he is, I am all a-flutter.” “He's the man, . « » Send him in, Swacker.” Tracy entered smiling silkly, his black note-book in one hand, his pince-rez in the other. “T had no trouble learning about Pfyfe,” he said. “He’s well known in Port’ Washington—quite a char- acter, in fact—and it was easy to pick up gossip about him.” He adjusted his glasses carefully, and referred to his note-book. “He married a Miss Hawthorn in 1910, She’s wealthy, but Pfyfe doesn’t benefit much by it, because her father sits oa money- Vance; “never mind the nee-Haw- thorn and her doting papa,—Mr. 1} Pfyfe himself has confided in us about his sad merriace.

Pfyfe clung to his story\in every detail, and yiler refused to ga deeper into his quarrel with Ben- son, insisting that it had no bearing on the case.
