Loans Upon Honor.

One of the most remarkable loan associations in the world is that founded by Mme. Jeanne Robin in the suburbs of Paris. Its object is to assist needy artists and writers by 6mnll loans of from sto 20 francs. Neither security nor interest is required, nor is any time of payment specified. In this paradise of the inpeeunious author the borrower simply signs the following paper: “I pledge my honor that I will pay back the sum of francs.” It is said that they who do not finally pay are very few.
