GRILLE IN COMMONS
RESENTED BY WIVES
THINK THEY SHOULD NOT. NEED
THE "HENcooP"
Peeresses Have a Fine Open Gallery
From Which They May View Lords
in Session, but Untitled Have to
Sit Behind Screen
Special Cable to The Herald.

LONDON, March 1O.-Why should
peeresses enjoy privileges which are
not extended to the wives of members
of the house of commons?
This is the question which women
who have suffered the discomforts OF
the ladies' gallery in the lower house
commonly known as the hen coop
are still asking.
For years members wives and visit
ors have protested at being Gagged In
like geological specimens by heavy
grille which makes 1t impossible for
any but the fortunate few in the front
row to hear or see anything that Is
going on in the house.
The peeresses, it is pointed out, have
an open gallery which they can oc-
cupy in comfort, and not one good rea-
son can be given for the retention or
the grille in the lower house. 1t is
certain that the new labor leaders
wives will add their voices to the gen.
eral protect.
Mrs Kerr Hardie quietly sitting by
the fireside in her home off Fetterlane
explained that although she had never
been in the ladies' gallery she had
heard enough about it from friends to
keep her away.
"As woman I much resent this
caging of lady visitors" she said. i
am told the gallery is very hot and
uncomfortable. The grille should GER
tainly be removed
"Llke Serpents"
with very few exceptions" chimed
in Mr.. Hardie from his cosy corner,
"every member of the house wishes
to see the grille abolished, and ] cam
not for the life of me think why wo-
men should be treated as serpents try
ing to lead astray the guileless men.
This caging of the women is positively
oriental"
There is another aspect of the ques-
ton. Women have a right, by reason
of the great work done by them now
adays, to demand such small con-
cession as the removal of the grille IN
the house Of commons.
This is the view taken by Mrs. Ord
Marshall, honorable secretary of the
League of the Empire.
I'VE are a non-political body" said
Mrs. Marshal, but at the same time L
think that in view of the great work
done nowadays by women for all causes.
social and educational, the
sex is entitled to some small privileges.
Zone of these privileges should be
that women who take an active inter-
est in politics should be allowed to
hear and see what is going on in the
house of commons in comfort.
My last visit to the ladies' gallery
impressed me with the fact that only
those Immediately against the grille
could see or hear anything"
A Primrose league dame remarked
that the grille was perfectly horrid.'
1.-THE gallery is so terribly stutty,
TOO. There appears to be no ventilation
and there is always a wild scramble
for front seat" she said. Il was
so disguised that I now always go into
the sergent-at-arms' gallery, opposite
he speaker, which holds only four"

HONOR NEW COLOR MAKER
Jubilee Celebration of MauVe Much

LONDON. March 1O-The jubilee of
the remarkable discovery of mauve,
the popular color, which has been re-
vived Over and over again in the world
of fashion in the last half century,
and which always has remained the
favorite color of Queen Alexandra,
falls due this month and is to be cele-
brated In a fitting manner. But prob
ably few know how the popular color
was discovered.
When is years old, DR.. w. H. Per-
kin, assistant to Professor A. Hoft-
man, who had charge of the Royal
College of Chemistry spent all his
evenings in research work. One day n
professor suggested he should try to
produce quinine by artificial means
The experiment failed and the lad was
preparing to make another attempt
when on the side of the glass vessel
he saw a wonderful new color, shade
of purple never fixed before. 1t was
mauVe.
Perkin patented the process, and
with his father set up plant near
Harrow for the manufacture of ami
line dyes After eighteen years he
abandoned business and devoted him
self to chemical research, but already
he had laid the foundations of the
many and great industries which have
grown out of the utilization of coal
tar.
At gathering of Perkins many
commercial and scientific friends at
the mansion house the other day 1t
was discussed what form the memorial
of his discovery should take. 1t was
suggested that a Perkin research fund
should be founded in his honor and
that a portrait i'm oils and a marble
bust of Perkin should be made.

GENEVA, March 1O.-Probably the
most remarkable breaking off of pro :
posed wedding in the history of Switzer-
land occurred here this week when Herr
with his fiance, were on
their way to the church. While they
were walking together the bridegroom
accidentally slipped in the snow and
fell soiling his wedding garments. His
bride, instead of being sympathetic,
laughed heartily at his discontinue.
White with anger and incidentally
with snow, the young man at once
broke off the match, and the sorrowing
bride was obliged to continue her way
to the church alone and explain mat
ters to a crowd of relatives and friends
who were waiting to witness the mar
riage ceremony.

WANT To PLACE
LOVE IN CODE
FRANCE PROPOSES TO FIND
ROOM FOR TENDER WORD
AS Marriage Ceremony Now Stands,
Wife Must Promise Only to
Obey Her Husband and
Be True to Him
Special Cable to The Herald.

Special Cable to The Herald.
PARIS, March 1O.-"The wife must
love her husband, obey him and be
true to him"
If Paul Hervieu and Marcel Provost,
the eminent French novelists and
dramatists, can have their way this
| clause Will be made the first paragraph
of the French marriage code.
| AS the code stands today it begins
THE wife must obey her husband and
! be true to him."
The amended form suggested by NM.
Hervteu and Provost will introduce the
word love" which has never before
appeared in the French service.
The suggestion of this change came
about al a meeting of an extra parIia-
mentary commission to effect a revision
of the French marriage laws. This
commission consists not only of states
men and lawyers, but of the two now
elists, Hervieu and Provost. They were
included because in their novels and
dramas they had treated modern social
problems involving great interest and
dilemmas.
This idea of love by order has af-
forded much amusement to the Par
isians. 1t has been suggested by q
witty Frenchman that special love in
spectors" be appointed to ascertain
whether the revised article is being to-
day observed. Just as the Partisan
Gas company puts a gas meter in every
fiat so it is suggested every married
couple should have 'loVe meter"
which would be examined once month
by the authorities.
Laws Are Cumbersome
At present the French marriage laws
are very cumbersome. Here are some
of the provisions:
Young men under % and girls I'M
der q cannot marry without their
parents consent
IF the girl is an orphan she must
produce certificates of the birth and
death of her parents, and the consent
of her grandmother.
THE young bridegroom must produce
certificates of birth and military SER
vice, publication of banns, consent of
his parents, and, in the event of their |
being dead, that of his grandparents" |
Marriages by civil law alone are rec
ognized as valid in France. The cere- |
mony is severe one, and takes place |
in the town hall under the presidency |
of the mayor Four witnesses are re-
quired. Originally these had to be men,
but women are now allowed to act in
this capacity, and champions of wo-
mans rights in France are proud of
this small success.
The majority of marriages in France
are still made by arrangement between
the parents of the bride and groom.
Lawyers meet or correspond and the
dowry which the bride brings plays an
important part in the success of the
Girls without dowries in
France have a difficult time in finding
husbands.

Nobody, he added, has yet been able
to obtain a smallpox or scarlet fever
germ. Others were so minute that If

man being magnified proportionately

he said, by the mere act of speaking

Coughing and sneezing were powerful
germ distributors, he declared. In re-

ant girls rarely stop to analyze their feelings and prefer dreams to the real ity of thought
 The vast plain stretched around her like a silver sea in the twilight and the gleaming village lights on the hill seemed to be the only sentinels to whose care this vast stretch of land was confided. The ruins of an old cas- tie rose at the foot of the hill, and towards this place Sultana wound her way. wondering to herself if 1t were really haunted; and if 1t were really possible that the legends she had so often heard were true.
 How unlikely" she muttered to her self. as she pushed back the yellow muslin handkerchief on her head, and let the night air fan her curly black hair, and caress her small, delicate face. As she stood there. gazing at what had perhaps in ages past been a house of revelry and grandeur. the moon rose. Sultana remembered a story she had heard in her childhood, that the moon burned to ashes all the young girls she met on the plain when she first rose. Thinking of this, she slowly returned to her bed of straw, laid herself down and was soon asleep
 All at once she awoke bewildered and troubled. and saw standing a few paces from her the shadowy form of a wom- an, who seemed to be beckoning her towards the ruins At the same mo- ment she became aware that soft, in- visible music was playing around her.
 She rose quickly and. running to the ruins. found to her great surprise q door she had never noticed before. Opening 1t, she discovered some steps which led into what had been in ages past an immense banqueting hall. At a long table gorgeously decorated with silver csndelabra and laden with ex- quisite fruit and flowers sat about hundred lords and ladies. That this was a bridal party sultans understood al once. It also struck her that she vas invisible to all the company. with the exception of handsome youth. who wore a white satin costume and a long, dark green velvet cloak.
