sion by the Town Council of Havre upon
the regulations for city car lines one
member complained that in these days

interior to surrender their places to
women outside. Several other counci1-
lors CALAMITY supported the motion, but

of the age would not permit any SUCH
social revolution. The episode has ex-
cited considerable attention in Paris,
where there is general mourning over
the decadence OF French manners.
