One day a well-dressed, quiet little woman entered the store and asked me to show her some music of a classical nature. We struck up quite a conversation, in the course of which I asked her if she had heard the great Jenny Lind, who was then the talk of the town. She laughed and sald: ‘Oh, yes; I have heard her. Have you? I told her that I hadn't had that pleasure, and that I had very little pros- pect of hearing her, the price of admission was so high. She laughed again, and then she handed me a song she had picked out, and asked me to play the accompaniment for her while she tried It. She sang so beautifully that I played ike one in a dream. When she had finished she thank. ed me, and, with a rare smile, she said ‘You cannot say now that you have never heard Jenny Lind!’ She thanked me again, and left me dumfounded. Engagement Rings.

FROM THE AMERICAN POINT OF VIEW What the Visitor Sees and Where He Goes. t DIFFERENCEINIDEALS Speclal Correspondence of The Evening Star. PARIS, April 21, 1896. wo Americans are ca- pable of being disap- pointed with the gay side of Parisian life— well-cared-for young ladies and fil-cared- for young men. The American girl can get on well enough be- cause she has the sho: The disap- pointments she meets with have only to do with social life. She is cramped not only by French con- ventions, but by the criticism of the Eng- lish and resident American girls she meets, who seem to envy her, while tney ostensibly decry her.

That the Ameri- can youth comes to Pari for the sake of the city’s nayghty pleasures is course, not true; but, being in the “ ity, he wishes to confirm tra and his reading. “There are the graphic ‘ounts of friends who preceded him and the curios’ of those still st t-homes to whom he must bring bagk Juzid reports. He starts well.” Phe streets of Paris have ‘a tantalizing loek- by day or night, and there are evidences enouga of lightness of head, heart and morals. At night the Bonlevarg has such a beer-garden-like alr, certain detafls of fast living are so patent to the eye, there is such light, gayety that he has no mi here is the real thing! He heaves satisfaction and immediate feel devilish. Waiter, a green mint! er, a footstool for my feet! But one or two evenings spent on the terrace of a cafe, on the very street, you know, beneath the awning, close to ail the tantalizing gayety of promenade, cafe and cafe-terrace, give pause for thought. What fs It all? Only a mass of men and women chattering and oglirg, laughing and gestic- ulating like s0 many ring-tailed apes, peo- ple who will sit an hour to drink one glass of beer, and people who go home at 12 o'clock at night! ‘At the Moulin Rouge he meets another setback. This dance hall and “cafe spec- tacle” is quite the most advanced of all. Indeed It is a trifle common, in comparison with the clientele of the Casino, the Jar- din de Paris, the Folies-Bergere and the Olympia. There js a vast hall that might —and does, in the daytime—serve for a bicycle rink. It 1s very beautifully deci rated with colcred lights, painted panel and bright hangings. In one corner there is a little theater stage and seats for some five hundred and a deal of standing room. Here a variety performance occupies a couple of hours. It is of the stupidest, and no one is sorry when the crowd breaks for the great dance hull itself, The “fin d siecle dance!” Who has not heard of it Difference in Temperament. He says, and he says correctly from the Anglo-Saxon standpoint, that he ought to be half drunk to enjoy the lax life he finds in the promenade around these caperings. Besides, it is ten to one that he cannot speak the language. From the Moulin Rouge he goes to the Casino, from the Casino to the olies -Bergere, from the Folies- Bergere to the Jardin de Paris, 2 much more stylish garden than is the Red Mill, though owned and oper- ated by the same proprietor. He must visit. the Students’ ball and the Cafe Chinois at the entrance to the Bois. He,alse experiments wit) the dreary, shiver- in open-air ‘ton- certs of «the Champs - Elysees; the fairy palaces of the night! that look so tempting. Everywhere two fatal annoyanced rsue him. It revolts him fo see people lose their modesty without lesing thelr judgment, and to see the pedple“amiably wicked without the excuse of tipsy heads. He himself could wish to be réilicking, “fin-de-siecle” and even amiably swicked—but not with a cool brain and deliberate purpose. That would sicken him. The thought makes him blush. Here is the root of the trouble. The dif- ference in disposition is perhaps even a greater barrier than ignorance of conversa- tional French. though that in itself would be sufficient to shut him off from every- thing. People seldom get drunk in Paris. Drunk- enness was never a French vice. here is no tendency to it in the blood or the en- vironment, as with the Anglo-Saxon or the German or the Swede; and the whole tem- per of French life is against it. Do you know it? These people will not spend the money to get drunk! They would rather puy useless trifles, like jewelry That generosity or carelessness which in America manifests itself in “treating” is a virtue almost unknown to Parisians. ‘Again, the presence of women of some kind is everywhere to be found; and this alone would keep the French young man clear- headed.

There are museums, galleries, carriage rides, excursions, restaurants and Latin Quarter explorations, not to speak of guide book reading and photograph buy- ing. He may also find himself: thrown into American golony society, in one of its sev- eral ri might wants Paris There are two places very much in vogue present—in the world of tourists doing ces of whose strange delights he rd tell.

The Jokes Are Chestnuts. In a theatrical hall above—entrance $1— songs, Chinese shadows, recitations of new verses and the like pass in turn between a public made up very much of tourists who have come seven or cight years too late to see the celebrated Chat Noir. Once it was the rallying point of “t oung” and “the new" in art and Iiterature. At that time the chestnut old American negro-min- strel gags passed for “new” in the mouth of Alphonse Allais, one of the original Chat Noir lights, who still appears from time to time. He describes the end of an autumn day: “It was 6 o'clock; the night fell, and there was no one to pick it up.” Of a sui- cide he once sald: “He cast a glance through the window and followed it on the spot.” That is how they talk at the Chat Noir. Sometimes, happily, they say better things, but to our American it would be all the same in any case. At the Cafe of Death there fs somethi tangibie, at least. A sickening green light outside prepares the mind for the coffins within. These coffins are placed on trestles, and are made to serve as tables, at about the height of tables. You sit on chairs. Subdued light from chandeliers and lamps constructed of bones and skuils falls on an audience of tittering and uneasy tremblers, who call each othe attention to ghastly transforming pictures frescoed around the walls. Is it a ball-room scene, bright with gay costumes and gleaming shoulders and the syniles of beauty. While the black- garbed waiter {s still speaking the fair flesh will change to horrid bony skeletons. The waiiers are dressed in black, in the costumes. of mutes, or undertakers’ assist- ants, and their duty is to insult you as they serve you beer. Now there is another establishment along these lines that, like the Char Noir, once made money and a reputation and then closed, now to revive again—the Mirliton. Who has not heard of Aristide Bruant and his noisy “artistic” den? It is a mean and fantastica:ly decorated little box of a “cab- aret’ in the neighborhood of the Moulin Rouge. Bruant, its proprietor, the “Brown- ing of the Paris slums,” will sing his own black verses and insult each newcomer as he assigns him a seat. What has he gained by coming to the Mirliton? He is impatient of these people, who sit about and conduct themselves so hilariously; and when the verses are trans- lated to him he finds them stupid. Neither covld a Frenchman understand ‘The Dan- dy Colored Coon.” The thing Is inevitable. From the Mirliton the searcher after what does not exist whirls in a cab past the Moulin Rovge, down the Rue Blanche, past the Casino and straight to the Boulevard. round the corner he finds himself at “Henry's Bar.” Here he sighs with relief. Fifteen or twenty avell-dressed and rich American: and as many Englishmen sit swapping stories in the cozy bar room. Whisky sours, gin fizzes, St. Louis beer in botties, a real free lunch and straight cut cigarettes—seven for a franc—mingle with a real barkeeper—a German, but that don't count—and a real bar and the good old American lenguage. Then they all cuss Paris by night from every chair and table. STERLING HEILIG. os Told by the Doctor. From the New York Weekly.

Soon after Grant went fishing the high- way surveyor came along, and found the road so bad that he felt compelled to hang up a light near the slough holes to warn travelers of danger. He borrowed a lan- tern from Mrs. Grant, and, taking the bar- rel that was partly filled with potatoes to hold it above the mud, stuck up his bescon and went home. gether, dealer: an the us | Grant has abandoned the comet hypothesis, yielding to the cigars and other things at bt local demand for expense.

The cow was making about twenty miles an hour and throwing mud like a yellow dog after woodchucks, when she reached the steep part of the hill and met Grant, who was feeling his way home with the smelts. Over went Grant into a pool, and over him went the frantic cow. Grant picked himself up, looked at the receding cow, yellad twice and made for home, le; ing all the way and spilling smelis at every bound. When he had locked and barred the door and wiped off a little mud from his cloth- ing, Grant told his wife about the mishap, and esked her if she had seen a comet go by during his absence. He felt sure it was a comet that had hit him, because the rewspapers said that comets traveled v fast and were always well lighted, and these two conditicns agreed with the mani- festations he had observed. His wife then related what the surveyor had done, and intimated It might have been the potato barrel and lantern comblaation instead of a comet, and as they were both gone she suggested that he had better in- vestigate some things before announcing his discovery. Advice of any kind was wasted on Grant, who insisted on taking something hot to bed with him, where he stayed until his wife fourid the cow caught I Sketch, se made of very “Thankee, sir, thankee.
