the C'nirii
PARIS, Bpt. 11. It wm estimated on
one August Sunday recently that some
fiOO.Of0 persons left Paris on the trams, the
Mrtro, the railroads and In automobiles
and other conveyances for an outing In
the suburbs. A fair proportion of this
crowd went to Sreaux-Roblnson, which to
tht foreigners owes much of Its attraction
to the fart that the majority of Us pleasure
seekers are French.
Going by the Metro-Paris subway you
choke and gn?p and choke and gasp In a
way that your countrymen never suffered
evan In the early days of New York's
underground, and when you think that
you are at your lat gasp the train ud
Senly shoots Into the open and from that
moment to the end of your Journey you
traverse a country that Offers features of
Interest. There are the red and gray roofs
of happy villagers at least you ansums
them to be happy, for those who salute the
train or watch It pasa are either laughing
or exchanging friendly blows. Many of
them are workmen, some In holiday attire,
others In' clean blouses which reach to the
knee and have a holiday stiffness.
Playgronnd of Middle Claaa.
There are many children here, which dif
ferentiates the suburbs from the city,
where the sight of a child Is a novelty, and
at each stopping of the train crowds get
on or off. Lovers are frankly affectionate
and usually walk with their arms about
each ether or with firm grip of tangled
fingers. There are American students with
sketch books and with French companions,
and. there are families which Include a
grandma holding a great-grandchild by
the hand, the Intervening generations
escorting the pair and looking out for the
faltering steps of both with equal concern
and Joyous merriment when either faintly
tumbles.
Sceaux-Roblnson does not attract the
fashionable crowds on Saturday, when It
Is ths rendezvons for wedding parties who
begin their honeymoon In Its wooded at
tractions, nor do they come on Sunday.
But If one desires to see Paris of the
middle classes and the workaday element
enjoying Its weekly leisure you could nol
do better than form one of the crowd that
ascends the dusty slopes that lead from
the noisy station.
What It Means to Louise.
In this crowd you will notice the Paris
mldlncttes, the Louises, vhom Charpentler
has made operatlcally famous. They have
been famous before In other ways and will
continue to furnish themes for song and
story, Just as long as they continue to be
goi-d looking and chic. Where the Amer
lean shop girl would start for her day of
merrymaking in a muslin or cotton gown
and return after the arduous chase of
pleasure as much rumpled as to frock as
she Is to spirit, the midinette with a truer
sense of economy has her fete gown of
some soft woollen material, which looks
as well when she starts for home as before
he accepted the Invitation for her first
dance.
You need to see her dance In order to
appreciate the significance of this com
pliment. It Is an arduous pursuit when
you consider that her working hours have
been spent standing behind the counters
of shops or walking as model to and fro
In the tiring round of the showrooms and
her leisure hours have been spent in sew
ing, repairing, washing and arranging for
her weekly outing, with euch few mo
ments of pleasure as she can snatch here
and there, eluding oftentimes the watch
ful parental eye. For It is not the only
fanciful LoulBe who has trouble with her
family. It IS noted that a goodly number
of the shopgirls having finished their dance
return to the family circle, while the mas
culine escort undergoes a scrutiny when he
comes and goes which may Imply explana
tion later on.
But out of the range of that watchful
ness Louise flaunts her plumage, dances
the twostep with the peculiar wlggly ad
dendum that the mldlnattee adopt, a side
ways motion Impossible to describe, and
seems never to tire. The orchestra In the
frequent dancing halls that sprinkle the
path of the slope play with shorf Intervale
between the valses and reply good humor
rdly to the frequent "Bis!" when the time
is particularly well marked or the melody
one of close acquaintance. "The Merry
Widow" waits Is the greatest favorite of
all, and from twenty or thirty platforms
you hear Ita alluring notes.
glt as I. on a" a Yon Mke
The floors of the platforms are well
polished and about them the lookerson
take their gurgling refreshments at hun
dreds of Uttle tables which are never
emnty. There "Is here, as in all Paris, the
Invariable rule that having once secured
a seat no time limit prevails. Tou may
Id a glass of mineral water, a cafe nolr,
and remain for a couple of hours. No one
looks as If you had overstayed your wel
, come. Neither the proprietor nor the
waiters hover In your vicinity and fori
you by wireless demand to order some
thing you do not want, a custom which
prjvalls In some Anglo-Saxon cities and
summer, resorts. ,
Hero too come the mldinettes, after the
donees, and with their swtetheaita or
chance acquaintances. If not In company
with their families. They usually call for
some Innocuous liquid refreshment, which
Is slppd slowly until are heard the opening
bars of the next waits, when Louise swal
lows what remains fiercely, for nothing,
neither flirtation nor feed nor drink. Is
as Important in her scheme of pleasure as
the movement of the dance.
Occasionally a grandmother rises, takes
her charge, a boy or girl of I year or
thereabouts, and the two dance to an ac
companiment of handclapplng.
After them a fashionable pair or quartet
look about as If apologlrtng for tne
Buuerr.'anlsm of the act and whirl toward
the other whirling couples.
A couple of American women leave their
party, attempt the wlggly twostep and fall
flat, while the French dancers smile.
A trio of French artists come and sit at
the table near your own. They are utterly
oblivious of the scene and their talk Is the
Jargon of the schools. They might be
American actors for any Interest they
I show outside of their own professional
Swings.
What They Bald.
One of them says, and you Interrupt
your watching of a graceful midinette In
sreen, her hat garlanded with tiny pink
r arlands. her frock a dainty confec-
girl looking In a mirror, the French artist
paints nude a woman taking a bath," one
of them Is saying.
Then your glance la attracted by another
trio, young business men these or perhaps
men of leisure; at any rate they are on a
holiday and they are daring each other to
attempt a Joke. One of them at length
accedes snd rllnir csrrles a alaps of
foaming beer to the sidewalk, where a
caby. fast esleep, his reins In his hnnds
snd his horse patiently waiting his awaken
ing, has located himself rlpht outside of
this special dancing hall. The young man
holds the beer under the cabby's nose
and those near enough can watch the
dreaming expression change Into one of
ecstasy. Finally waking with blinking
eyes, as If he feared to lose by that act
the vision he was enjoying, the cabby,
ejaculates his delight when he realizes
that for once the fancy has materialised
Into fact.
The crowd, ever ready to appreciate a
Joke, no matter how crude, rlap their
hands, and after drinking his demt brune
the cocher whips his horse and In a cloud
of dust vanishes from the sight.
At the fthootln- Gallery.
After this the mirch Is resumed and
your next stop Is at a shooting gallery,
where a young Englishman with all the
hall marks of the territorial nonchalantly
smashes with a very Indifferent rifle cara
coling hares and eggs, which appear and
disappear from a fountain In the rear, their
motion rather similar to the midinette
waltz. The proprietor of the gallery, who
separates lilm.ielf after this feat fro'.i
three very bad cigars, watches territorial's
departure with unconcealed delight.
Ills feat over a couple of Frenchmen
take up an Interrupted story. It relates
to the shooting experience of an English
guest on the preserves of his French host.
Accustomed to the abundance of game on
his home grounds, the visitor was surprised
to tramp for an hour without, any sign
of life. Finally a rabbit speeds across his
path and he raises tils rifle, but the game
keeper cluched his arm,
"Not that." he whispered softly. "That
was Pierre; we never shoot Pierre."
The marknian desists. A moment later
a second rabbit flees In the other dlrec
tlon; again the raised rifle and again the
agonized voice of the keeper: "Monsieur
pour l'amour de Dieu; that was Oastonl
He is never shot at." ' The third rabbit
passes and the wearied Englishman does
not attempt to stay its flight. Great dis
appointment on the part of the keeper, who
whispers:
"Why did you not shoot, slrT That was
Jacques. We always shoot Jacques."
At the Csfe Chantant.
Then you tarry at an open air cafe chan
tant where a red curtain Is stretched from
tree to tree and the numbers are preceded
by tinny notes played on what one of your
party denominates "a horseless piano."
When your ears are sufficiently antago
nized the curtains are suddenly drawn and
a atout lady In spangled gown, whose
vintage Is as certain as her age, sings
nasally, a- seml-comle song. Her custume
la Jow-necked and a long train winds ser-
pentlnely along the restricted space and
Is lost to view In the Inner room. She Is
followed by a woman of about her yeais
and size, with a gown that rises delicately
to the ears but leaves the knees exposed.
The song seems to be the same, but you
are told by a French scolar that It Is not;
that while the other spoke of the Inevitable
unhapplness that rises from the Introduc
tion of a triangle Into the geometrical
simplicity of parallel lines the second on
tho contrary waa all about nightingales
and blue skies and love. When you return
some four houra later over this same
route, the troubles of the triangle, the Joys
of the nightingale and the solace of love
are being sung by the same voices on the
same platform to the same horseless piano
accompaniment, and a crowd similar In
numbers and enthusiasm are applauding.
Soldier Boy la Bmr
Then you walk deftly over yards of con
fetti thrown by the merrymakers. Some
French soldiers In red coata and same In
blue, all alike, misshapen and 111 fitting, a
fact upon .which the army pridea Itself,
so you are told, walk by, their arms up
holding clinging young women who look
with adorlhg glances that could not be
easier to duclpher were you strolling on
the Strand and meeting Tommy Atktna
and his 'ousemald.
Every once in a while you pass a re
served space near the roadway where
serene faced donkeys are being bargained
for, and the bargains completed; a proces
sion forms sometimes of children, some
times of rollicking youths, their feet trail
ing in the dust or their knees hunched up
to their ears. Once a, stately English
woman with severe tallormade suit goes
slowly by on a particularly small donkey,
and at her side, similarly mounted. Is a
short thickset woman sitting astride.
Tou pass a acore of men and women in
fantastlo costumes with paper caps, har
lequins and columbines, plerrots and Pier
rettes singing songs and throwing confetti
and flowers at each other and the crowd.
Every once In a while a great omnibus or
market wagon Is driven by, with one, two
or three horses, the reins falling free, and
the crowd Inside peering out through the
web of green bough with which It Is cov
ered. oased, hat Heflaed.
A drunken man bars your progress. He
Is the only sne you ee or hear during
the day, and you are assured by the
Paris residents of your party that it Is
almost unheard of for the Frenchman to
forget himself to that extent. But even In
his maudlin stale he exhibits a certain re
finement of view.
"Paris Is beautiful," he announces, "and
Ha environs are most beautiful of all.
That Is why" a low sweep of the straw
hat and a corresponding bow of the body,
which regalna Its equilibrium with diffi
culty "thai Is why I choose to remain in
the environs."
He allows you to pass on.
You notice few gendarmes, a striking
contrast to the over-policed condition of
London wherever there la a so-called
merrymaking.
The aptcial allurement of Sceaux-Robla-son
Is the privilege of dining In the top
of a tree. The big chestnut trees have
been utilised for the purpose. On each one
In turn Is a placard announcing that this
is "The True Tree." Veritable bouses, with
thatched roofs, are built securely on plat
forms upheld by the big branches. In a
cluster of two or three trees a perpen
dicular row of thatched roofs may be seen,
the houses numbered 1, t, S. . and the
last from the ground U scarcely visible
through the thick leafage.
Plain In a Treeto.
Winding atalrwajs lead from house to
house and If you happen to have engaged
the topmost one, passing y the other,
you perchance note a red cloth curtain
drawn and aounds that may be the mur
muring protest of champagne corks, or

the children ecstatically pointing out peo
ple on the ground below who have sud
denly grown Insignificant In size. Midway
up the final stairway you note the one
blot In a charming landscape, a huge build
ing. , with narrow, high facades topped by
an enormous sign, "New York Oarage."
Fastened at Intervals In the trees are
pulley ropes and at the end of ths ropes
are circular baskets in which the bottles
of wine, bread and other elements of the
dinner that will not be harmed by
Jarring, are deposited and drawn up to the
various tree houses. The service of this
sort is supplemented by that of fat waiters
who puff up and down stairs.
- From your lofty perch In the tree top
you gaze down upon a multitude of human
ities, alt vitally, energetic. There are
swings thnt move here and there to dizzy
heights, the girls surrounding them shriek
ing to their escorts to be careful. See
saws bump up and down and couples
dance amid the trees. IMners In other
trees some further up in the air, some to
be looked down upon, wave glasses of
foaming bubbles when your glances meet.
Occasionally a breeze blows and the
thatched cottages vibrate gently.
When the Twilight Cornea.
The dinner Is psrtlcularly good. There
Is even cracked Ice served, as If each
separate piece was a diamond of corre
sponding size. The garcon tries to Illu
mine the swinging electric bulb over the
center of the table, but that Is too Incon
gruous and the coffee Is taken in the
rapidly , growing twilight.
It is a twilight which creeps upon you
unaware. You see the red roofs fade
slowly Into rose and that In turn Is In a
moment a salmon pink with high yellow
lights. Suddenly everything Is blotted out,
the ugly sign of the garage is lost In the
shadows, only a patch of ecru stucco here
and there shows where a moment before
were villas. The fireworks breaks Into
baskets of falling stars, red, green, golden,
blue and white with a crackling sound
The orchestra begins with renewed zest
"Boheme"; the "Intermezzo," the "Merry
Widow," and the popular twostep. You
hear the patter -of dancing feet on the
platform below; you distinguish the shrieks
of different nationalities testifying their
superabundant delight. The electric bulbs
begin to glisten In the neighboring trees.

Women Fight for
Death Giving
Bottle of Acid
One Struggles to Kill Herielf, While
Other Strives to Thwart
Her Effort.
Two women fought furiously at 832S Har
ney street for the possession of a cup of
carbolic acid, which one of them. Marl
Buraii, 20 years of age, attempted to drink
with suicidal Intent.
Mrs. Roae Hanson, a domestic at the
house, prevented her, after sustaining se
vere burns on the arms from the spilled
sold. The Buran woman Is cook at the
house, which is a boarding house known
as "The Harney" and conducted by a man
named Llhn.
"Let me drink It. I want to die," Miss
Buran cried as she attempted to raise the
cup of poison to her lips and Mrs. Hanson
spiang to prevent her. A rough and tum
ble fight ensued and both were burned by
the acid.
Most of the poison being spilled over the
f'ocr and the arms of the two combatants,
the Buran woman started to lick the acid
from her arms in hope the small amount
she would get that way would kill her.
A love affair between the Buran woman
and a South Omaha man named Hart, Mrs.
Hanson says, caused the young woman to
attempt suicide.
Mls Buran Is being closely watched so
that she may not repeat her attempt to
end her Ufa,
WOODMEN QUIT AND KEEP MUM
Council Adjoorns Wlthoat Miking
Announcement Regarding-
Bnlldlngr Bite.
The executive council of the Woodmen
of the World has adjourned without
announcing its decision. That a de
cision has been reached la generally be
lieved, although officially this Is denl:d.
The site In question may be Elsotetn.h
and Douglas, where the Air Pome stands.
There are reasons, at least, for believing
that this corner now haa the call. The
property Is owned by E. A. Cudahy, who
bought It last spring from Mies Hanscom
through John L. Kennedy.
The council did announce that architects
for the new building had been selected, a
fact which la further evidence that a de
cision has been reached. The architects
will be Fisher Lawrl of Omaha and
Holablrd A Roche of Chicago. The latter
firm has the new City National bank build
ing. The Woodmen building will be In the
Italian renaissance style. The number of
stories Is not given out, but It will be in
the neighborhood of seventeen.
"The executive council will meet again
In the near future," declared J. C. Rot
"We have appointed tho architects and
that la far as we have gone."
Harry Tukey, agent for K. A. Cudahy,
was the only real estate man who was
closeted with the council at its last session.
He remained for a long time behind ths
closed and locked doors which have shut
the council from the rest of the building.
"Hello!"
"Hello!"

"Yes. John, and you have been drinking

"The smartest and the best little car ever mar
keted in America at anything like the money"
What people are 6aying in this community about the
Hupmobilo they are saying in every other com
munity from coast to coast.
No other car has ridden so quickly
into widespread popular approval.
Everybody has a good word for the
Hupmobile and nobody can find
any room for criticism.
It is the first small car ever built in
this country that is in every way
as good as the most expensive
large car.
It is the first small car ever built in
this country possessing real dash
and individuality in design.
Most small cars are makeshifts in ma
terial, in construction and design
the Hupmobile is just as good
in proportion and just as smart
in appearance as the finest big car.
If it were a large car, we could not
afford to make it so good.
And you can be absolutely certain, if
you see a larger car advertised at
an approximate price, that the manufacturer has
skimped somewhere either in material or workman
ship. A finer or better power plant you will not find in any
car. Other engines are larger, but none is built of
better materials or with more careful workmanship.

The ignition equipment is the Bosch high tension mag
neto the same as supplied on the costly large cars.
And the Hupmobile is the only small car equipped
with this world famous magneto
without extra charge.
It is the same way through Dut in the
sturdy strength of the axles; the
pressed steel frame; the noiseless
sliding gears there is not a single
point on which just cxticism can
be made.
If you can afford to maintain two cars
one of them should by all means
be a Hupmobile.
And if you do put a Hupmobilo in
your garage alongside of your big
car you will find that involuntar
ily you will turn to it ten times
to the once you use the larger
one.
On the other hand, if you oan have
but one car, the Hupmobile 's
obvious adnvntaffes low first
cost and low cost of main tainance will appeal to
you all the more strongly.
See the car.
Arrange at once for a demonstration, and ypu will realize
what a wonderful little car it is.
On the Brighton Beach track, August 27, the $750 Hupmobile
defeated two S. T. O. French cars, listing at $2,100; one Allen
Kingston $3,000, and one Mitchell, $2,000, in the six hour
race, covering 226 miles. '
