WOMEN AS CABDRIVERS.
o The first woman to hit upon the idea of being a cabdriver in Paris was the wife of •a cabman whose husband is in poor healtn. She mastered the mysteries of harnessing, rubbing down the horse, etc., and passed her examination in splendid form. As there is no law prohibiting s women from being cabdrivers, the authorities granted her a license. A sensation has sinca been created by the Countess dv Pin de la Gueriviere also turning cabdriver. This countess has attempted many things, all of which have failed, and is glad to see an opportunity likely to prove more successful.' Other women are going to follow the example oi these two. The Parisian cabmen are at present aumb with surprise; but it is said they will be proud to welcome ladies of title as colleagues.
