DULL SEASON: WE A THER POOR.

- BL YA V0YAQQCU8K. Paris, Aug. 20. What a summer for the French capital in fact, it has been o summer at all, in the true acceptation of the term, for Paris. Usually, at this time of tho year out-door restaurants are crowded with women of fashion, wearing light colored lingerie

men; put imwh, louiaras ana iid srty satins are.. the. popular wear, while men, in hundreds of cases, wear waistcoats where, at this time of the year the male sex usually discard that part of their wearing apparel when out of doors. Coolness, rain, then more coolness has been the order of the day, and also of the evenings and Bights, until it would seem, the customary French summer, with its heat and sunshine, is something only to be remembered in years gone by. To make matters worse for stores and others who depend so much on the summer trade, Paris is deserted, or nearly so, for with the exception of a few feminine Parisians who run up to the capittal for the purpose of getting a new evening frock or some new ideas which she may utilize while making summer visits . to friends throughout the country, and some Americans who pass through the city for the purpose of seeing without being forced to mix with the crowd, the famous pictures In the Louvre and the statutory in the Luxembourg, the city is, it might also be said, lifeless. ..,". This is the "dead" season, as the interval between August and the latter part of September is usually termed,

and it well describes conditions at this time of year. The people of fashion, more particularity the "400," are at Trouvllle, Dlnard or some other seaaide watering place of equal note, While the great middle-class go to the country or the mountains, to remain for six or seven weeks, in the case of the women obtaining rest and of men gathering nerve force and strength for the fall and winter, campaign in the chase for the elusive frano or American dollar, as the case may be, both being sought after as usual here as elsewhere throughout the universe. France will certainly be known In history as the pioneer and leader in aviation. "Meets' or tournaments, in which large prizes are offered for winners or aerial ' f)lghts, are being held all over the republic. The United States for a year or more followed this example but where one -"meet", of Importance Is held in America, half adosen take place here. This, so doubt, is due to the fact that aerial sport generally has made far greater progress here than across the water, while, here .too,, the public give more time to amusement and less to the constant incess grind- than do Americans. In France, also women have gone in for aviation to a remarkable extent. In this country there are fifty women aviators or "sky-women1 if you please

be expected, there Is male opposition here to women' takng prominent part In the art of flying through the air, but the women smilllngly characterise such objectors as "mean old cranks." Henri Rochefort,. for instance, one

of the leading-Journalists of France, contemptuously asserts that women's

mental make-up and education, not leading them in the direction of knowledge of mechanics, are, therefore unable to master the mechanism of mo

tors and similar subjects connected' with aviation, a thorough knowledge of which Is necessary If the science of

sky-flying Is t o betnastered.

To these sneers, the women reply that although M. Rochefort may be one of the foremost duellists of France with a record of many antagonists who

hsve fallen before his sword or pis

tol, yet his reputation does not deter them from saying he does not know what he Is talking about; that he is "living" in the history of the past, and that as he is not willing to live up to the times he had better reserve his

comments on women and their prac

tice of aviation for his club cronies.

An answer to the ability of women

to make successful aviators is contain

ed in the recent feat of Mme Aarault, who has just sailed from St. Cloud, a suburb of Paris, directly over the capital in a baloon, notwithstanding the

fact that for two hours she was lost In the heavy fog, but which did not

affect her nerve or self posession. She

made a successful descent. The Stella

club, of which she is secretary, and is

composed of women, sky-women, only, was organized less than one year ago

with nineteen members, but now has!

a membership of 122, while the club has a record of thirty-five balloon ascensions since its organization. ,

Mme. de- La Roche,1' who met wua a serious accident during a flight at Rheims a -few weeks ago, Is a member of the club. She is gradually recovering and with true womanly courage. Is already planning daring feats in her Voisin aeroplane. One Paris publication, the organ of aviators, declares that the time Is not far distant when aeroplanes wil be fitted with flapping wings. Private, experiments of this nature, it is asserted, have been made, and have proven successful. It Is pointed out that as the flying machine is modeled on the principal of plying, which is that of birds

of the air, there is every reason for

asserting that moving wings can be

successfully applied, in time, to aero

planes. '

It is not often -that the case or a ghost being held responsible for debt is cited, but such an incident has Just taken place here. About two years aco.

a number of authors ond other liter

ary men rented a famous house in Pas-

sy, a former suburb of Paris. - Once

occupied by Balzac, the greatest novelist and analyzer of human nature since

the days of Shakespeare and Moliere.

Well, he knew the horrors of debt His debtors persecuted him night and day,

until it may be wondered how he ever

succeeded In writing those wonderful masterpieces. It is told that he often got up in the middle of the night and wrote until noon the next day with

nothing but a cup of black coffee to sustain him. - He died at the comparatively early age of fifty. -

Scarcely had the authors rented the

house , and commenced , to rearrange the furniture and fittings, of the house

as they, were when Balzac occupied it, than a collector - swooped down on them and attached every article on the claim that rent of the house had been unpaid tar a time while the great novelist still occupied It Rent due for sixty-five jeers. Of course the debt was paid. Since ' then the property has been

bought .through contributions from pri

vate persons, Paul Bourget, the well

known author being one of those who

originated the Idea, and the house and

contents established as a museum

where admirers of one of the world's greatest writers may visit and view

with interest bis former surroundings.

Garments made of paper, and for wear when motoring, are having a

great vogue in Paris.- They are the invention of a Frenchman. Every conceivable garment for such sport is

made, and being alike waterproof and almost featherweight are particularly

acceptable. ' - -

notice: to the public The Commons Dairy company announces that it has taken its tuberculin tested milk off the market. In response to what we believed to be a demand for tuberculin tested milk we contracted for the milk from Bachelor's Dairy and furnished it at a price sufficient to cover the increased cost of handling and the in creased price we paid to Mr. Bachelor for this jnilk. The demand for tuberculin tested milk does not warrant our continuation of this service and we have withdrawn this milk from the market. It will be put in with the rest of our standard pasteurized product, and not kept separate from our other milk as we announced in a former bulletin. THE COMMONS DAIRY CO.
