EVADING THE LAUNDRY.
There is a certain Parisian who vows' that he will never more send anything to laundries, which, he declares, have. mined his linen and left him with nothing but shreds and tatterg. He baa had to buy- himself a new outfit, and to save it from being devoured by, machinery and acids he undertakes the washing of it himself. Once a week, therefore, he is to be seen at the bottom of the stairs of the Quai aux Fleurs, which was used as a landing stage before the construction of the Pont d'Arcole, scrubbing and rinsing in the way he learned in Flanders. Passers-by look down in amusement at this moustached laundryman. perspiring at his work, but-, he proceeds unperturbed, happy at the thought that he is cheating the laundries of their prey.
