The London firm remitted a check for 10,000 francs, but stopped pay- ment on it and notified the Paris authorities that the manuscript must have been stolen. NO SERVANT PROBLEM. The servant girl problem has disappeared for the moment, in France. The question is not how fo get one, hut how to afford one When fhe cost of living went up, malds' es kept apace, for there has been a growing shortage since shortly after the war.

FORTUNE IN RUTTER. The romance of a fortune that was won by a will hidden in a big chunk of butter has bobbed up in the courts after 21 years, and in romance has beaten the law. Mile. Claudine Chavanes, of Saint Etienne, refused to reinmburse friends for 30,000 francs they ced to help her win her will case in 1905, She had the law with her, but the courts decided she and her father must pay because, as the proverb says: “none must en- rich himself at anothers' expense.” When Madame Angele Ter(hon, died, 21 ago, no will was found and her estate about to be distributed among distant relatives. Some one discovered, deeply em- bedded in i mass of butter in the old lady house, an % oiled paper on which Madame lerthon bequeathed her fortune to Mlle. Chavanes The girl's fat as she was a minor, bor- rowed in her name to pay legal expenses to probate the curious will. The case was won, the father then, and the daughter later, refused to pay the debt on the definite legal ground that the father as a n had no right to borrow without obi a certain legal procedure, which was not done. The courts decided justice was more important than the leiter of the HARD TIME Champagne is no longer obligatory in the night life cal of Montmartre, Hard times ve hit the place, si re apn midnight “pala ha ing outside some of the suring the public that izzy wine at 100 and 200 franes a bottle need not be hought.

London, Jan. §—Sgunds of high revelry, all in feminine voices, ¢ame from a screened rt of one of the quicter West End restau- nts—so much ‘that the manager felt it nec- essary to explain. “It's a spinster farewell party,” he sald, “I mean, a bachelor night-before-the-wedding celebration, only the bachelor is a girl. In the Victorian novel, the bride_ used to bid a solitary tearful farewell to her #wn little white room. Today's modern miss is being married tomorrow, and her girl friends, fourteen of e, are celebrating the event and wishing her success. Doesn't it sound as if they were enjoying themselves?” TS MANY INVITATIONS Sir James Barrie, who gets 5o many lunch- con and dinner invitations that, if they were arranged according to the calendar, he could subsist on hospitality alone, does not enjoy the elaborate spreads of today half so much as the snacks of his college days when he had to hustle for every mouthful. Sir John Anderson, Permanent Under Sccretary at the Home Office, speaking at the Old Students' Jubilee, recalled times at Edinburgh University ‘when men came from the Highlands, and even from the Islands of the Hebrides with little more in their posses- sion than a bag of meal, . “Among my fellow students,” he said, “was sir James Barrie, who once told me that at the university, and even some years after- ward that his dinners cost him but two pence a day. And how he relished them! The pres- ent day banquets are likely to give most au- thors indigestion, but hardly those who lived on the good old fashioned meal and such, in the days when James was coming up into his place’ in the world. NEEDS PLENTY OF TIME Ten minutes not long enough for a woman to buy a dress declared Councillor Miss M. Dutch when the Westminster Council was discussing traffic regulations. Regulators of “one-way" traffic, she sald, should ke into consideration the fact that Dover Street was a strcet of dressmakers and hairdressers and allow cars to halt a reason- able time. The other councillors did not agree with Miss Dutch and parking was limited to ten LIKES DANCING TOO King George's sailor son, Prince George, just celebrated his twenty-fourth , is fully as fond of dancing as the Prince of Wales. Prince George, who has n serving as a lieutenant on the China sta- tion, arrived home from the' Far East one eve- ning at dinner time, and attended a Charleston ball that night. The Prince had been in the Far East nearly two years, and had learncd the Charleston while crossing the Pacific. Experts say Prince George is lighter on feet than his three brothers, the Duke of York, Prince Henry and the heir to the throne. SHIP GOLD BY AIR Gold shipments by alr are on the increase. Bankers have found that the interest saved by speed more than pays for the chartering of airplanes, according to Sir Samuel Instone, air- plane manufacturer. “In one year we carried 10,000,000 pounds across the chann r Samuel, in a Rotary luncheon spee owing to the speed at which it was t ed, the saving in interest was more than suf- ficient to pay not ony for the cost of transport, but for the insurance as well.” Commerclal aviation in time would be a he said, but as vet the directors had not found a practical economic commercial machine for ordinary usage.

Berlin, Jan. 8—Divorces may be had for the asking in Germany committee of the Reichstag gets through with modernizing the existing divorce law, which while lenient in its provisions is involved in so much red tape that legal proceedings are both'| costly and tedious. Among other things the committee is considering a provision which would compel 2 woman to support her divorced husand as | well as children in case it is proved that the husband is financlally incapable and the wife in good circumstances. In any case the sup- port of the children, according to the pro- posal, would be borne by the most able of the | parties in the suit obtained the divorce. In general the committee is inclined to allow courts to grant divorces when 1t is shown that “the actions of either party for any rea- son made further domestic life unpleasant or unbearable for the other party.” regardless of which one IIOROSCOPES ON TIME BASIS. Horoscopes on the installment plan are the latest wheaze in the wave of partial pay- ment purchasing which has struck Berlin. An enterprising “practical astrologer” adver- tises first-class horoscopes at prices varying from $5 to $50, according to the extent to which he delves into the subject's future, and offers to take twenty-five per cent down and the balance in monthly instaliments. He points out that that his customers will thus be able to check up from month to month and make sure they are getting their money’s worth on his prognostications for the year. “Don’t be fooled by the inferior horo- scopes of my competitors, which often are swindles, but buy only the genuine guaranteed and safe-guarded article buflt up on a ecien- tific basis by myself and my efficient staff of collaborators,” is the advertiser's final appeal. PRINCE NOT “NEEDY PERSON. Prince Louls Ferdinand of Prussia, 19- vear-old second son of the former Crown Prince, failed to qualify with the managers of the Eerlin subway lines as “needy.” The young prince applied for reduced fare perm by which needy students may travel at chil- dren’s half fare rates. The press agrees in commenting the prince for his sense of thrift, but calls his attention to the fact that so long as the Crown Prince has the means for long trips to Switzerland and for offering prizes a six ray bicycle races, the public can hard cxpected to believe in Louls Ferdinand's pov erty.
