Show Miss the Absent Ones. It has been noticed that since the war broke out the number of charges of defamation and violence lodged by tenants against their concierges and vice versa, has enormously increased. The Cri de Paris suggests a pleasant and plausible explanation. It is that numbers of wives who had been accustomed ac-customed to have daily "words" with their long-suffering husbands now find this occupation gone. So, just to keep an edge to their tongues, they sharpen them on their concierges. But concierges con-cierges are by no means of so meek a race as I.usbands, and the petulant fair ones receive as good as they give, and very often a legal summons as well.
