All a Matter of Taste S TASTE and habit in humor differ as between New York and Paris, so taste and habit differ in other matters, This was shown re- cently in the expressions of a Frenchwoman on leaving this country and the expressions of an American woman on arriving here from abroad, both talking on the subject most interesting to all women—man. The Frenchwoman thought the women of New York beautiful, stylish and every- thing else that was attractive. But the men—alas! They wear no beards, they are not picturesque in attire, and in com- pany with their fair ones they look like servants, lacking everything that makes man interesting to a French- woman. ¢ The fair American, as she landed from a steamer, read this opinion of her French sis- terand retaliated. American men were the finest in the world inall respects. French- men? Alas! They were a great disappointment to her. They all wear beards, dress grotesquely, and to see them strutting and caressing the hair on their faces on the bou- levards and combing and fond- ling it in the restaurants and elsewhere was to her simply exasperating.

Van Mon—The society columns report that she’s starting for Newport to- morrow. Those Slit Skirts Again “Don’t you think that the present style in women’s skirts is rather humorous?’ “Simply side-splitting.”” The Modest Reader In the old days a book was suggestive, Because it was found that would sell it; But now I’m decidedly restive— Instead of suggesting, they tell it! Suspicious Crawford—So you're going to give up your doctor because he doesn’t understand your physical condition? Crabshaw—Yes; he seems more inter- ested in my financial condition. Buttons and hooks, buttons and hooks, When a man’s married, you'll know by his looks. DANS CE CHER PARIS on Le Meilleur moyon pour apprecier Broadway.
