Divorced persons seeking separate apartments are having such difficulty in finding them that In one case at least they composed their tempera mental differences In order to keep their old apartment A painter and his wife who tied been divorced by mutual agreement were both looking for apartments. Frequently their paths crossed In their sear'll for quarters. The first time they met they bowed gravely but po litely. Their mutual smile gradually broadened as the hunt for flats nar rowed down to a few hovels tn the slum section. "Let’s kiss and make up and co back to our flat,” the wife finally said, and they did. President Mlllerand. who recently took possession of the Elysee palace, received 41 applications for his apart ment in the Avenue de Villars. Henry Landru, who has been in La «ante prison for the last 20 months awaiting trial on charges growing out of the disappea rance of 11 women, re cently wag dispossessed from the flat that he had occupied on the Boulevard Rochechouart. a rather sordid section of ParfB. Requests came from every quarter In Paris, some even from aris tocratic Auteui!, asking that the flat be reserved. A vagrant just finishing 30 days In La Sante prison told his cellmate tin der sentence of five years for swln- , tiling that he nreaded to return Into cold, dreary Paris. He was homeless; prospects of spending the winter nights under Paris bridges <lld not ap pear to him. The prisoners exchanged clothing and cards of Identity, and when the warder called for the va- grant to send him out into the cold world the swindler responded. The fraud was discovered only when the swindler’s lawyer called at the jail. SURGICAL OBSTETRICAL AND MEDICAL HOSPITAL NO contagious DISEASES ADMITTED Willed Everything Away.

Would y«'U caie for a spin In the air so much as to spend $15 for a 20 minutes' flight? U so, what Is your motive? Interviewing a half dozen commer cial aviators along Miami’s water front on this subject brought the fol lowing facts to light: About 60 per cent of all passengets carried on the short 20 minutes’ sight seeing flights are women. According to aviators the types to whom scraping the clouds appeals are: The wealthy nan—the business man. He wants to see what dying is like. He sees the future of commer- eial aviation. The short dlght offers also a novel method of entertuining friends. The “sport.” He flies for the ex- dtement of the thing. He usually In sists on stunt flying. Then, too, an occasional flight provides a way of demonstrating to his friends hfs sport ing self. The average man. He finds In the short flight at $1» for himself or $25 for himself and a companion a method of realizing the thrill and pleasures of the air. He is presented with an op portunity of realizing an overwhelm ing desire at a minimum expense. The large percentage of women passengers is considered something of a slap at those reveling in the thought that women were too timid to fly. Ac cording to pilots, In most cases wom en accept an offer of an aerial spin on the direct dare of their masculine companion.—Miami (Fla.) Herald.

It looks as If the problem of the waifs and strays of Cairo was going to receive at last serious attention. After much insistence on the part of some public-spirited officials a spe cial school for boys of this class has been opened in the environs of Cairo, where they will be looked after aud trained by the government without their having committed some crime to admit them into the reformatory, pre viously the only Institution of the kind. Nothing so far has been done for the girl children, though another home Is promised for this purpose. It is there fore satisfactory to hear of the forma tion of an organization called the "Brotherhood Federation," ostensibly uoasectarian and International, with the object of looking after and Im proving the lot of the child waifs gen erally.
