The prediction of the countess OF
Aberdeen made at the International
Council of Women in Paris, that the
French woman viii be the first to
obtain the vote upon any large scale
may well have caused surprise among
the British, German and American
delegates. American writer's upon
the woman question" have often
fallen back upon two absug lities: the
first, that Tacitus described the Ger
mans whom the Romans fought as
paying special Difference to their
women; the second, that the French
have no word for home" Add to this
the misrepresentation of a five-weeks'
tripper seeing Paris by night" and
a hasty observation on the Sale law
and you have the genesis of an i'm
preston OF the position of women in
France which is as prevalent as 1t is
preposterous. The fact Is that Ia
citus' observations would have APP
piled quite as we'll to the Franks as
to other early northern tribes; that
the French get along very well with
the word home" SO long as they have
the thing; that French family life is
at It's best of almost ideal beauty,
and that their sticking so long to the
Salic law was one of the plumbers of
the Bourbons which does not in any
case affect opinion of the republic
Since the revolution in France many
things have changed For one thing,

suffragists were for years divided into
two bitter hostile factions on the ques-
ton whether to work with the public
in the several states or to appeal di
rect to congress. The French fem.
mist adopts the latter course with
out hesitation. According to the
countess of Aberdeen. she has com.
menced by trying to convince the leg
islator instead of the public It is a
method well adapted to France, where
abstract ideas have always had
fascination for public men.
