Al All events. the automobile i'm half a

people an outlet for its labor, its basic
and finished materials, its art and the
art creations OF the Rue de Ia Paix. that
2 hundred years would perhaps not have
realized 20 them except for this inven-
lion.
And the reason Of All this. next to the
automobile itself, is the roads OF France.
the finest roads the world has ever
known. The French government and
the French people, realizing what the
automobile would certainly mean To
them, have had the cIeverness and fore
sight to encourage its use by liberal
laws and extreme courtesy-a courtesy
on the part Of the peasants and people
in all stations OF life that is at once a
surprise and a delight to the tourist
But the value Of the automobile as an

Leased for Twenty Years.

A stately club building has heen
leased for a term of twenty wears in
the most central part of the city at
a rent of 100000 a year. There are
three large dining-rooms, a library
and writing room. which look out
upon the garden, and extensive
drawing rooms which may be thrown
together upon occasion. A perma-
nent stage is erected, in one of these
where. concerts, lectures, and dra-
matte performances will be given.
and there are large salons for art
and other exhibits: a billiard and
smoking room, forty bedrooms, and
any number of cozy resting rooms"
for members The large retinue of
servants which has been retained is
German. To tne satisfaction of the
English and American members,
however. the porter and mead waiter
speak English fiuently. Entering
into the clubhouse the visitor re-
ceives the impression that she is in
a small exclusive hotel; indeed, the
German women speak of it as a
hotel
Women's clubs in Germany have
heretofore been widely different or
ganizations from those of American
and English women. The first was
founded ten years ago under great
difficulties. A second club, formed
especially to meet the requirements
of the working woman, has a mem
bership of over 200, and has done
some splendid work. But in the or
ganization of these the founders met
with no interest or sympathy, least
of all cooperation from the men. In
the Lyceum project, however, men
like DR.. Jessen. Of the Royal Museum
of Industrial Art; DR.. Liebermann,
OF the National Gallery; DR. Joachim,
and almost all the modern writer's
and dramatists have assisted in every
possible way.
The German women are not ac-
customed to club life; club habits are
not developed here as they are in
England and America, and it is prob
able that the growth of the Lyceum
will be much slower than it would
