was seen without the animal. Conveyed it to school with her
one day, thus causing considerable mirth among the pupils. Was

regulations of the institution to permit animals, other than
the children, in the class-rooms. M. returned the lamb to the
stable. Her biography has been extensively published.

MATERLINCK, a Belgian who believed the best way to get "copy"
about himself into the newspapers was to try to keep it out.

MAXIM, patron saint of the American-English tourist in Paris,
who introduced New York prices into a naughty cafe. When a
young man he discovered that the tourists were not paying
enough money to see the sights. With the assistance of some
handsomely gowned women he opened a cafe on the Rue Royal where
they could. For years it was patronized by his countrymen
until they were ruined. Later only royalty and tourists were
permitted to enter and form a mistaken idea of the real French
cafe, pay double prices for everything, see a few chorus girls,
hear champagne bottles, and talk to English-speaking waiters.
