Show AT ST. LAZARE, PARIS NO GLOOM OR PATHOS AT THIS PRISON FOR WOMEN. Many Cheerful Facet Seen Among of Dreary Place Philotophy of French People There Exemplified. Paris. Henry Jours once the French people that their amid of philoso- phy of life was 40 years ahead of the time. It la a philosophy that makes them receive good and bad luck with the same cheerful smile, the same careless shrug' of the shoulders. One finds it exemplified in its most hopeless environment at St. Lazare, the womens prison of Paris. It ia a great, dreary building, this SL Lazare, but no one seems to feel any sense of its gloom or pathos. Outside in Ijie early morning will be standing a group of people waiting to see relatives or friends, a characteristic Parisian group: A young man of the Apache type, hat well pulled down over a low brow, very high collar and skin of that waxen pallor peculiar to the Parisian boulevardler; three smiling, coquettlshly dressed women wiihont bats, a clean little old man who talks to himself and emphasises the monologue by beating with his stick on the pavement, and a sharp faced little girl whose red stockings hang down over a dilapidated pair of boots much too big for her. It is this last who speaks, addressing all the group: Tve come to bring my sister some of her duds. She's been pinched again. It's the fourth time." Oh, well," answers the pale young man, thats all right little one. You will know the road when your turn comes. When the smiling old porter opens the gates a nun comes forward to receive the visitors and to take the things they have brought or to allow them the interviews they ask for. In a large room on the right are the clothes of the prisoners. These are all taken away from them when they enter the prison, to be kept until such time as the owners are entitled to go out into the world again. When the finery is all discarded the new Inmate puts on a uniform a coarse gown with fichu, a neat little bonnet and wooden shoes. All their weapons of charm are taken away from them all but their natural coquetry, which no power can divest them of. Fichus are tied with care, hair ia puffed out under the demure cap, and the first thing relatives are asked to bring to St. Lazare is a looking glass. Yes, every woman there, no matter old or ugly, has bow poverty-stricken- , her bit of a mirror hung up In her cell, and more often than not it re fleets a happy, smiling and pretty face They seem to enjoy this change ol costume, and sometimes a newcomet will try a few atep in the wooden shoes when the sister in charge is not looking. In one corridor are the women whose children have been born in thf prison. The mothers look happy anf the children are rolling about healthy and rosy as children anywhere. They do very well here." says thf nun. They are warm and comfort able and every one sjioils them." Next to the corridor of the bablei who are born here Is that of the old women who will die here, and very pleased with their life they. look a t they sit chatting of former successes St. Lazare, the Womens Prison In Paris.

The other girl is a tall brunette from the Midi, who has been here foui times for theft. She stole first be cause her little boy cried with hunger That sent her to SC Lazare for two months. After that work was even more dlf ficult to gee One doesn't come out of St. Lazare with a spotless reputation When asked what she will do when she served her term this time, she replies with a bright smile: Oh, I'll have to go to Italy or some place far away from Paris now. Id work if 1 could, really; I'd be a faith ful and devoted domestic if some one would only pay me 60 francs a month But no one will, so I'll have to go on stealing. One must live, you know."
