FROM AMERICA TO LIVE
IN PARIS WITHOUT DANGER

Paris, Sept. 23.--An American girl car
study in Paris without danger.
The perfected means exist. -Four
great concerns called American Girls
clubs, will take the lamb--house her
feed her, tend her, watch her, lock hel
up at 10 p. M, nurse her when sick, en-
liven her with teas. cultivate her voice
teach her to draw and keep her fresh
and sweet and neal in almost too dain.
ty surroundings.
1t is done for a lump weekly sum SC
moderate for what Is given-that there
must be sustaining wealth behind 1t,
Why. the every afternoon high teas
alone would dissipate the profits Of a
business enterprise!
The old established Girls club Of the
Rue de Chevrouse has always been sus-
tained by Mrs. Whitelaw Reid. It's
present managress. Miss Moffett, a de-
lightful maiden lady from New Eng
land, is her sole representative. When
the garden is photographed h sends
q copy to Mrs. Reid-"Would Mrs.
Reid like this ?"-"Mrs. Reid would not
approve of that" The Rue de Chew
rouse is a perfect realization Of Mrs.
Reds ideas.
Once it was a great hotel. You see
how two wings form a court. Beneath
old trees, behind, two stone pillars and
a high iron grille give entrance to an

outtered toast amovar tea. wafftes,
LAYER cake, what do I know? Tea
strong enough to make them go out
saucy!
Mrs. Whitney Hofr, daughter of the
late Detroit millionaire and wife Of a
Standard Oil magnate in Paris, domi-
mates In the same way both Young
Women's Christian association Of the
Rue de Turin and the Students Hostel
Of the Boulevard st. Michel. Both the
Rue de Chevrouse and Boulevard st.
Michel are in the Latin quarter, but the

cality.
The fourth of these great concerns is
Holy Trinity lodge, In the Rue Pierre
Nicole, beyond the Pantheon. again the
Latin quarter, conducted by the Holy
Trinity (~Episcopalian) church Of the
Avenue de rAlma.
The Rev. DR.. Morgan, cousin of the
tinancier, years 6 gave UP banking
for the priesthood, and as Mrs. Reid
and Mrs. Hoff dominate their respective
girls clubs so DR.. Morgan dominates
his church and lambfold. Indeed, the
latter is called a parish house and has

Gently they rented from the French re-
public a coniscated shady garden that,
until the nuns expulsion, had belonged
TO the Carmelites of the Rue VALDEZ
In one corner, beneath lordly
trees, Is a mysterious stone trap. 1t
gives entrance by shivery winding
down, down into the earth to an
underground chapel dating from
h time Of st. Denis. When the girls
