Miss the Absent Ones.

It bas been noticed that since the war broke out the number of charges of defamation and violence lodged by tenants against? their concierges and vice versa, has enormously increased. The Cri de Paris suggests a pleasant and plausible explanation. It is that numbers of wives who had been accustomed to have daily “words” with their long-suffering husbands now find this occupation gone. So, jnst to keep an edge to their tongues, they sharpen them on their concierges. But concierges are by no means of so meek a race as husbands, and the fair ones receive as good as they give, and very often a legal summons aa well. —Paris Letter to the London Telegraph. " ,
