I Anything can be found in the flea market if not today, another time: antique silver. china and jewelry, glass eyes, zinc birdbalhs, glass chimnevs. stuffed animals, eggbeaters, candelabra, lamp posts, sculp ture, nronr.es, ceramics, brie-a-bac and junk. Thrifty house wives may seek and find a new wheel for the baby carriage or a porcelain doorknob to match the wallpaper. Collectors of an tiques comb the flea market regularly for "finds." for the world's greatest collections of French period furniture, porce lain and crystal are within its boundaries. Motion picture com panies often furnish entire sets with furniture and costumes rented in the Paris Flea Market. Every Saturday, Sunday and Monday, tourists and dealers flock to the area, and the rest of the week, when the market is not open, the merchants must search out their wares, in the provinces and at public auctions. The city fathers of Paris are eager to cut down the area cov ered by the flea market to make room for new housing de velopments. They propose a new, smaller market, with 1000 booths and shops arranged in a labyrinth pattern of circling pasageways. to maintain the quaintness of the present mar ket, which "just grew," like Topsy, through the years since it was founded. In the 1890's, an earlier group of city fathers, in a burst of moral indignation, ordered a round-up of the vagrants thronging the streets of Paris. Police herded together a mol ly crowd of itinerant peddlers, rag and iron merchants, and sidewalk salesmen, and shep herded them through an his toric gate in the city walls to a muddy expanse of wasteland encircling the capital. Here the unfortunates dropped their bundles and unpacked their handcarts, and the Paris Flea Market was born. The armv. which customarily held maneu vers in this area, did not ob ject, and soon booths and awn ings were erected as the new inhabitants "settled in." From its earliest beginnings, the market was noted for the variety of its merchandise, but a popular item the cheap, hard mattress, invariable flea ridden gave it its name. The merchants were known as "chiffoniers" (ragpickers), and they sold whatever they could glean daily from the streets of Paris. The area teemed with sinis ter figures thieves, madmen and just poor folks, until after World War I, when it became fashionable to "slum" at the flea market. The period be tween the two world wars was a glorious era for the market. Restaurants, bowling alleys, ca sinos and cabarets sprang up, and the market also boasted a church of its own and a doctor who dispensed medical advice from a sidewalk bench. Street entertainment was varied: fire caters, bear tamers, tattoo ex hibitors vied with vendors and hawkers for the attention of the public. The arrival of the Germans during World War II interrupt ed this period of prosperity. Ca sinos and cabarets were torn down as symbolic of decadence, and business declined. Today, business is brisk, res taurants flourish, and Parisians are fighting their city fathers to preserve the gay, disrepu table aura of one of their most popular tourist attractions. The Junior Service League Reames Social Club To Meet Reames Social club members will meet for luncheon Wednes day, October 16 at the Masonie temple at 12 noon.

Secondhand merchandise of every type will be for sale, but members guarantee there will be no flee-ridden mattresses. Many new items, donated by local merchants, or hand-madn by league members, will be dis played. Two restaurants, the German (root) Beer Garden and the Paris Sidewalk Cafe, and a booth of home-baked foods, will feed the hungry. Donated art works will satisfy those who hunger for the cultural.

Adults will be entertained by can-can dancers, foreign music, instrumental and vocal soloists, and informal modeling of con tinental fashions in the res taurants.
