TIE FRENCH GIRL OF TODAY.
Not So Closely Guarded by the Chap
eron as Formerly.

The American visiting Paris at
present cannot fail to be i'm
pressed with the gradual enamel
patton taking place in the case Of
the fashionable French girl.
The life of the unmarried young
Parisienne of today is in strong
contrast with that of her prede-
cessor of 20 or 80 years ago, says
the Detroit Free Press.
\ formal and awe-inspiring
sight was the unmarried feminine
contingent of n Partisan ballroom
III the late '70s or early SOS.
In front of the chaperons' arm
chairs or eanapes was placed Il
row of seats, peopled by more or
less meek looking girls.
The man who wished to dance
with any particular girl had to
take his courage in both hands, as
they say, go up to the mother,
make a profound bow and ask per.
mission for the honor of Il dance
with her daughter.
If the favor was granted, he
placed himself in front of the girl
in question, mide his bow and of
fered his arm. The dance was
gone through almost in silence,
enliyened probably by some such
remarks as these: Are YOU fond
of dancing, mademoiselle?" Eyes.
monsieur" lin an embarrassed
voice.. what excellent music ii
is, Do You play, mademoiselle?'
VERY little, monsieur"--then a
long pause, horror and wrath Of
her friends. and the scandalized i'll
nuendoes of the rest of the com
pany, who looked askance at the
English and American girls bra
Zenly strolling about the ante
rooms, actually daring TO sit on
arm chairs or stiff backed sofas
and talk.
Now things are different and
much improved. You look around
YOU at a ball and see the French
girls enjoying themselves bright
ly and naturally. They talk and
laugh gayly with the young of
ficers or civilians with whom they
dance, even daring to ''sit out" u
number or so in hooks and cor
ners.
1t is Just as well that there
should be limits to their freedom
of action, for you cannot all at
once change the nature of peo-
pie by bringing in new customs.
Even now it is not permitted to a
French girl to walk or bicycle
about in the free and unre-
strained way we have in America.

Business, capital, investments. Those are
the three commanding words of our day and
place If they are not written in letters of gold
in every mans counting-room they are stamped
in letters OF iron in every mans and every

The world is a great market place into

HIT ON HEAD
With an Iron Bar Which Cut TO
Skull.
Well Known lien OF kirkmans
vile Engage in Alteration
and One Is i1nrt.

Last Friday Mr.. F, b. McCown,
of Klrkmansville, and Mr.. B. F..
Wells, of near that place, became
involved in a difficulty which re.
suited in the latter being knocked
down with a bar of iron. He was
struck on the head twice and two
long gashes we're cut, which caused
considerable loss of blood. 1t was
at first thought that his skull was
fractured but an examination failed
to show that the bone had been
crushed.
Mr.. McCown was recently APP
pointed a commissioner to look after
the construction of piece of turn
pike on the Hopkinsville and Kirk
Evansville road. Mr.. Wells made a
contract to complete part of it,
1t seems that the latter wanted ar
order for his money on the work
and McCown refused to give the
order for portion of it, claiming
that the work had not beer com
pleted. The fight followed. Mr.
McCown came to the city Saturday
morning and surrendered to The
authorities. He says that Wells
had an open knife in his hand anc
was advancing in a threatening
manner when he struck him.

At the close Of the seventh cop-
secutive day Of fighting between
Mukden and Lao Yang the battle
was still raging, the Russians Of
fering a stubborn resistance to the
fierce onslaughts of the Japanese.
The sacrifice of life has been ap-
palling. Estimates of the Russian
losses alone in killed and wounded
at the end of the six days fighting
being conceded 10000, while il
seems not improbable it aggregated
10000. Japanese official reports es-
innate that 10000 Russian dead
were left on the field of battle up to
the night of Oct. IA and claim that
Japanese losses are small by com
parison with those of the Russians.
