THE PRESENT DAY
FRENCH GIRL
Relaxation of the Conventions That
Obtained Forty Years
Ago.

How astonished would the modern
French girl be were she told not to take
the leading part in conversation, not to
giggle loudly. not to set her arms akimbo
and never to talk privately with a young
gentleman. She would think such recon-
mendations perfectly ridiculous as pre-
venting all possible fiirtations, for the art
of Irritation is never at its best unless
practiced in private. But forty years ago,
when parents deemed that marriage was
not a proper subject for the thoughts OF
their daughters, fiirtation-even as a word
was unknown in France At that time
simplicity in dress was the order OF the
day for young maidens. and even con-
ferred a certain distinction. being carried
as far as possible among the aristocracy.
There were special light silks and mex
pensive trinkets for jeunes files. set with
corals, enameIs and pearls, among which
the tiniest of diamonds would never have
been tolerated any more than costly
laces. furs or elaborate trimming.
At a glance it was easy to ascertain by
the style of dress whether a young wom-
an was married or not, whereas it is not
by any means so easy now, the same sat
ms velvets, feathers and Jewels being
worn alike in both cases. And it is not
any easier TO guess from the behavior in
society. for it may happen that the con-
versation is taken up and carried on by
the SlilS III thSlI ueSIo u SHINE anu u
attract attention-the married women be-
ing si.enced and ignored in the midst of
the excitement and amusement artfulIy
created by free sallies. unrestrained
laughter and much attitudinizing.
No doubt the conventional restrictions
of forty years ago were somewhat ex-
cessive and kept French girls till after
marriage in a state of prolonged child
hood; nevertheless it remains to be seen
whether the rapid change which has su-
pervened is a real gain, for if it has rem
edied some evils of the old system it has
also engendered new ones, and on that ac-
count many thoughtful French parents
are now seriously disquieted about the
future of their daughters.

Rarest Coins Known.

Philadelphia will soon possess two Of the
rarest coins known to exist. They are
the famous silver dollars of 1894. One is
at present in the Philadelphia Mint, and
the other was purchased last week by
Henry Chapman Jr., numismatist. The
latter coin was bought by Mr.. Chapman
at the sale Of the Murdock collection of
coins and tokens held in London last
week.
The dollar purchased by Mr.. Chapman
surpasses the similar coin at the mint in
perfection and fneness. Mr. Chapman
wrote to the auctioneer III advance that
he was willing to pay as high as 500 for
the coin. 1t was knocked down ts him
for G4S. or $24O.
The 1894 dollar is similar in face ap-
pearance to the dollar now in circulation.

0HS HE Union Labor party convention
held a short session last night in
Pioneer Hall The delegates gath
Ia cred to nominate Police Judges
and name some more Supervisors.
Judges Edmund p Mogan and George H.
Cabaniss were nominated by acclamation.
The programme was put through without
a hitch and every one seemed satisfied
The nominees for Police Judges were in
the hall before the convention met, en-
gagged in canvassing the delegates. They
then took a stand near the entrance and
when nominated gracefully retreated
There were loud calls for the Judges, but
they could not be found. Some one in the
LOBBY remarked that Mogan and Cabaniss
were wise men in not pledging themselves
to the ticket, as they are candidates for
the nomination on the Democratic ticket.
WANT TRACKS REMOVED.
Upon the opening of the convention
Thomas F. Egan of the Twenty-nintL
Assembly District moved suspension of
the rules in order to introduce the follow
ing resolution:
Whereas The operation of surface steam
railroad in dense!y populated sections of the
city is attended with great danger; and
Whereas For many years there has been
an urgent demand for the restriction and re-
moval of the tracks of such steam railroads

HOME RULE PRINCIPLE.

The point is advanced by the advocates
OF home rule that every district contains
many citizens Of high character who are
qualified in every sense to serve as Su-
pervisor, and therefore il would be un-
fair and impolitic to give one district
two nominees for Supervisor on the same
ticket. because it would necessarily fol-
low that some other district would go un-
represented on the ticket far s the
Board of Supervisors was concerned. AS
all nominees are voted for at large the
eighteen most acceptable TO a majority
Of the voters viii be chosen, therefore
every district delegation should appre-
ciate the Importance of recommending to
the convention the best man in the dis
trict for the position. According to the
at large system of voting. il is almost
sure to happen that several districts will
fail TO obtain resident representatio in
the board For example, say that the
FOrty-first District in each of the three
party conventions should put forward
man Of exceptional fitness and popular
ity; three of the eighteen Supervisors
might be elected from that district. There
are many indications that the Repub-
licans viii elect a majority Of the board,
and if each district should select man
of exceptional ability and Of wide and IA
vOrable acquaintance, the entire eighteen
might be elected and resident representa-
tiOn be accorded 70 every district

The committee on platform and resolu-
tions of the Republican local convention
expects to meet tomorrow evening. There
is talk to the effect that the platform will
be brief and comprehensive. w S. Wood
of the Fortieth District is chairman of the
committee
The notion that each Assembly district
delegation in the convention will be au-
thorized TO name one nominee for the
Board of Supervisors seems to prevail
The number of Assembly districts in San
Francisco corresponds exactly with the
number Of Supervisors provided for in the
new charter. No doubt one could go into
two or three districts south of Market
street or in two o. three districts north
of that thorOughfare and easily enough
select eighteen first-class capable men for
the board, but such selection would tend
to deprive a majority Of the districts Of
direct representation in the municipal
legislatures
