Hirsute

Georges Clemenceau, 73, France's best known ex-Premier, staggered all Paris last week by attending a giddy revue at a well-known Paris theatre. The aged ex-Premier said he went to watch the effect of a new invention in calcium lights upon the chorus.

At any rate, M. Clemenceau was so excited that he forgot to give the usual pourboire to the female attendant who conducted him to his front seat in the fauteuils. Next morning he remembered this slip and, summoning his chauffeur, bade him take a ten-franc bill to the usher woman.

"But how shall I know her?" asked the chauffeur.

Replied the "Tiger" : "She has a fine black moustache. Tell her to get a shave."
