Looking for a Hotel In Paris.

One of Messmore Kendall's friends took a trip to Europe not long ago—hie first trip abroad. After he reached London unexpected ♦business took him to Paris. Upon his return he was telling Kendall about his experiences. “I don't speak any French,” he said, "and I'didn't know the name of any, Paris hotels. So when we landed at Calais I bought a lot of postal cards of Paris vlewe, because I figured they’d be a picture of one of the big hotels anyhow. Sure enough I found a post card showing a great big stone building with flags on It, and it was called ‘‘Hotel de Ville • “ ‘That’ll do for me,’ I says to, myself. Be when we got to Paris I climbs into a taxi and.says *Hotel de Ville’ to the driver. "Do you kndw where he took me? The derned fool drove me to the city hall.”—Saturday Evening Post. .
