The star pupil arose at the school ei.

“Lend me your ears,” he bawled. 
“Huh,” sneered the mother of the 
opposing but defeated pupil, “that’s Sa-

Long Distance Laundry. 
Some of the smart set Frenchmen of ~! 
today send their linen to London.'to be’ 
washed. Their ancestors used to: go 
even further afield in search of good 
laundry work..So far back as the six- . 
teenth century Frenchmen had_ their 
washing done in Holland,, where the | 
soft water of the dikes was supposed ~ 
to impart a special gloss to linen. This 
practice appears to have lasted until 
the close of the eighteenth century, for 
Sebastian Mercier, in his “Tableau de 
Paris,” published shortly before the 
French Revolution, protests against the 
patronage by the rich of the Dutch, to 
the exclusion of native laundresses. 
Still more remarkable is the fact men- 
tioned in the “Mermoires du Comte de’ 
Vaublane,” that wealthy merchants in 
Bordeaux used to send their linen all)” 
the way to San Domingo to be washed.

An Elusive Painting. 
I. Carrol] Beckwith, the artist, once 
told a story about a weird painting he 
happened to run across in a little art 
shop in Paris. He looked at it for some 
time with interest, thinking it to be a 
design for a Persian rug. 
“What a nice hearth rug!” he re- 
marked appreciatively to the saleswo- 
man. 
“Nonsense!” replied she. 
a hearth rug. That’s a portrait!” And 
she proceeded to point out hands and 
features in what to Beckwith. was sim: 
ply a bewildering mass. of paint. 
“Do you really see all that?’ asked 
Beckwith with admiration. 
“Oh, as to seeing it,” answered the. 
saleswoman, “you never can tell. Some- 
times we see it and sometimes “we 
don’t.”—New York Post.
