Paris got' out its stocks of old, heavy clothes and shivered. Coal was in such demand for munitions manufacture as to make its price nearly prohibitive for the poor, and expensive even for the well-to-do. The Parisian hotels and pensions have no heating arrange ments, even in the best of times, for such weather as this.
