Our Echoes
We say that...

Yesterday morning there was a fire in a fashion house on Rue Royale. Multi-colored fabrics and scarves were removed from the workshops where the fire had spread, and piled up on the sidewalk between two café terraces, under the watchful eye of an agent...

And, throughout the day, there was a parade of women who came to look at this mess of embroidery and charred fabrics. Very elegant people, who certainly would not have soiled their gloves in contact with this rubble for anything in the world, remained in contemplation in front of this pile, and exclaimed “Oh! this golden fabric! Oh! this fur! The attraction, the irresistible attraction of the rag!

As you walk around, look at the windows of elegant shoe stores; you will take great pleasure in them. You will have the illusion of looking at a florist's stand.
We have in fact succeeded in creating models of women's shoes for the day and for the evening, so colorful, so fine that we could not imagine that we could walk in them, and that we can see these trinkets very clearly. » on shelves and in vases, like “aromas” or orchids...

Tomorrow, at eight o'clock in the evening, we will replace the cable of the funicular which, from Place de la République, goes up to the heights of Belleville. It's a small job. There are four and a half kilometers of cable to replace, and the funicular will have a new lease of life.
But, Belleville residents who fear climbs, don't linger tomorrow, "in town

A dog is thrown into the water, legs tied, by his owner who cowardly flees. Call an agent. He throws himself into the river and brings the animal back to the bank. The dog shows his joy. The agent adopts him and calls him Moses.”
So many dogs have jumped into the water to save their masters that we can well point out the courage of a man who saves a dog from death.

We hear from all sides wishing for a reduction in the number of deputies. But has it been noticed that, due to the election of MM. Paul Bluysen and Lugol in the Senate, the Chamber today only has 570 members, or 7 fewer than it will have in the next legislature, if agreement is reached with the Senate on the figure it fixed it herself?

Since the opening of the extraordinary session of 1923 last November, 18 seats have become vacant at the Palais Bourbon. Five following deaths: those occupied by Messrs. Maurice Barrès, Bazire, Noblemaire, Rozier and Fleury-Ravarin, thirteen following the election of their holder to the Senate.
A fourteenth deputy, Mr. Fernand Clerc, from Martinique, was also elected to the Senate on January 6. But, proclaimed by a majority vote, he was careful not to resign. And, as his election was annulled, he returned to sit in the House.

You perhaps need a slightly unusual silhouette to wear the little black, gray or brown hat that fashion offers to male heads.
The crown is very high, the edges very narrow. Dranem once, on the Eldorado stage, wore headgear of this kind and got quite comical effects from it...
A little cheerfulness, gentlemen, don't mess with your toilet!

The Association for the Encouragement of Progress awarded, last Sunday, during its annual session, in the large Amphitheater of the Sorbonne, a silver-gilt medal to the inventor of a stenography machine: Mr. Marc Grandjean.
The Association for the Encouragement of Progress thus intended to honor, at the same time as the very French character of the invention, a fact rare enough in mechanography to be noted, the thirteen years of patience required of the inventor Grandjean the development of its final model.
Let us wish this interesting machine the success of its predecessor, the typewriter, which it completes.
