Will France Again Have a King Is a Question Now Being Asked

(By La Veyageuse)) (Special Cable from Hearst Syndicate.) Paris, Nov. 27. Is France really to have a king once more, with all the glitter and pomp of. court life? There are not a few in this country who declare that the present republic has been shown to be an absolute failure. The royalists, who are very numerous are working very determinedly to the end of restoring a monarchy. From this political bureau in Brussels, Belgium, the exiled Due d'Orleans, royalist claimant to the French throne, has Just issued an impassioned and determined appeal to the French people, calling upon them to place him on the throne, to which he claims title as a

,J'Tlnaf and recognized successor yrough th Bourbon lines. ; ie royalists are cleverly playing nn

flings of the pro-clerical public,

We thai at no time in the his

tory of France has crime been so rampant, even among the very young. This the Due, in his public address, declares is due to the lack of religious feeling and training under the present government. He ass an active representative here in the person of Comte de Castillon de St. Victor, who comes of an ancient royalist family. Whatever may be the outcome of the present agitation, it is certain that France adores display and an appeal to the artistic sense inherent In all classes. They want a leader who they can look up to. The recent chiefs of the republic were steady going people, but far and away from being the ornamental figure heads" desired by all classes, who favor more fuss and feathers and official's receptions of court life, which means more money in circulation among the masses. King Jfaauel. of Portugal on a visit

to the king of England and also to find a possible bride, is to visit the Due d'Orleans at his magnificent country seat, Woodnorton. French detectives are to be in England during the visit of the Portuguese monarch, as it is known that French anarchists, who are republicans as well as anarchists, are planning to be in England at the time of the royal visit, and may decide to give professional attention to the Due as well as to King Manuel during their meeting. The arrival of all Saint's Day is the generally recognized date for the return to Paris of the fashionable Parisienne. Since the early days of October she has been visiting different chateaux of friends,- while if not fortunate to have friends she may have been content with a visit to Venice or the Italian lakes; but in Paris one must not show one's self until November 1, or later. To us Americans this holiday, the Feast of the Dead, is incomprehensible. ' On the present occasion, 14G.S72 persons cemeties. In the morning French, people carry fearfully ugly and inartistic bead wreaths and artifi

cial flowers, and carefully place them on the graves of departed relatives or friends. Then, hoi for the races and theaters in the afternoon and evening. But the French people ask, "Why be sad?" It is their holiday.

Thanks to our statesmen and to the vanity of our young women, the human hair which has long flourished in France is now in the throes of death. In Paris our merchants used to sell the most beautiful shades of hairblonde hair, black hair, hair as dark aa mid-night, hair the color of a raven's wing, silvery white hair. American women were their very best customers and consular reports show that enormous quantities were sent to America. The expulsion of the sisterhoods from France, chiefly by clumsy Prime Minister Combes, has practically killed the supply of hair. There were thirty thousand sisters in France convents." When entering as young ladies in the flower of girlhood, their luxurious heads of hair were shorn as a sign that they had renounced the world. The hair of course grew, and every four and five

years was again fit for the scissors. Thus thirty thousand ladies who had renounced the world, furnished hair for the many thousands who flourish in the midst of mundanities, and a3 though to accentuate the scarcity, young women from the provinces do not care to sell their hair anymore, They prefer to keep it for personal adornment, for hair is the glory of woman. In former years there was z. regular shearing time for the nymphs of Brittany and Picardy. But now no more. And silvery white hair can not be had for love or money. A Paris merchant told me that the last two purchases be made were at Bresa and at Limoges. In both cases he paid one dollar and a half per gramme. In other words, an ounce avoirdupois of silvery white hair, would cost forty-two dollars.

IS HOT HAPPY LIFE

London, Nov. 27. The average actor's life is not a happy one, according to Cecil Raleigh, the dramatist, who has taken the trouble to work out the income and expenditure of the average hardworking mummer of the rank and file in this country. "If an actor is employed for 23 weeks in the year he is extremely lucky," says Mr. Raleigh. "Thirtyfive weeks is about the limit. "As to earnings, beginners are offered five, six or seven dollars a week and sometimes there are joint engagements of husband and wife at $8.50. That Is a rank and crying iniquity. There are hundreds of actors and actresses who are not engaged for thirty-five weeks in the year, and are getting five or six dollars a week. That is rank and horrible starvation."

Hew Fish Change Color. Ia a lecture at the Koyal Photo graphic society's exhibition Dr. Fran cis Ward said that the power of cer tain fish to change their color In bar mony with their environment resided in their optic nerve. He placed a pika in such a position that its head was in a dark chamber while the rest of Itn body lay in bright sunshine. The pike remained black in color, bnt when bn reversed Its position and canoed ltn head to be in the sunlight its color changed to a very much lighter bos within the space of a few minctes. The light acted upon the optic nerve, thus causing the pigment cells ail over the skin to contract or relax-Londooj Standard.
