Separation Law Is Cause--Rules That

PARIS April 27.-Inhabtants of Or
leans have been almost as much ex-
cited the last few days as their ances-
tors on May day in 1892. The cause of
the perturbation is decree of M.
Clemenceau, the prime minister, that
in the next annual celebration of the
deliVerance of Orleans by Joan of Arc,
the prefect, mayor and various func-
tionaries must not participate officially.
The decree is result of the church
separation law.
His dictum acted like a stroke of
lightning on the Orleans people, who
have come to regard this celebration as
an event little short of being annually
inspired through the spirit of the
heroine.
spIendor to Be Missing
It is much more mystic and religious
than civil, as the supernatural attrib-
utes of Joan necessarily enter into the
ceremony from first to last. The fes-
tival occurs May and 8. People are
now wondering what it will look like
stripped of it's glorious trappings.
The mayor of Orleans came to Paris
the other day and pleaded with M.
Clemenceau to permit the fete to be
observed as in former years. 1t is re-
lated that the mayors arguments were
accompanied by tears, but M. Clemen-
ceau didn't melt.
M. Clemenceau, if he hasn't yielded
has at least explained. He distin-
guishes between the civil and religious
parts of the traditional ceremony. He
wants the civil part retained and even
made more imposing than usual, but
the religious part must be conducted
without any participation by the civil
officials.
A delegation from the Orleans NUM-
cipal council came to Paris Wednes-
day and obtained from the premier
stretch of the imagination, is called
satisfaction. M. Clemenceau approved
of the program in which the military
element, public officials and corporate
bodies will participate.
Regulations Are Strict
It is understood, however, that the
public officials and corporate bodies
must precede the representatives of
the clergy, who will be admitted to
participation in the cortege in the same
way as philosophical, labor and other
societies The clergy will be allowed
to wear sacerdotal vestments and carry
banners, but not to carry any religious
emblems, crucifixes, relics and chal-
ices.
The procession this year will start
from the city hall, not from the cathe-
dral, as hitherto. A halt will be made
in front of the cathedral to allow the
clergy to take their places. There will
be no religious benediction at the
Yourelles, the scene of the battle which
delivered Orleans.
In a letter which he had previously
sent to the municipal council of Or
leans NJ Clemenceau said: after all,
what could be of more satisfaction to
common patriotism than a grand civil
and military fete in honor of the liberia
tor of Orleans, who was a great SOL
dier? What could be a greater act of
liberalism than to leave to the lib
eralties of the individual. the initiative,
the manifestations of those who now
dare to advertise themselves by means
of Joan of Arc after having burned her
at the stalker"

CLIMATE AND WORK DOOM
MEN TO BE FAIR, FAT OR TALL

Special Cable to Inc Herald.
LONDON, April 27-The difference
in types of man formed the subject
of an interesting lecture which e. John
Solano delivered before the Ethnologi-
cal society at the Royal society hall.
He argued that the differences in the
types of man were due to surround
ings and in many instances to modes
of living. For instance, the negro has
a short, broad-nostriled nose for the
purpose of taking quick, short breaths,
necessitated by the heat of the sun.
The effect of surroundings on indi-
Viduals might easily be gathered by
statistics showing that a laborer vino
lives the outdoor, healthy life is from
one to two inches taller than an ar
tisan living in a big town, while the
professional man is from one to two
inches taller than the laborer.
Dividing the British race into two
distinct classes, the fair and the dark,
Mr. Solano stated that the fair race
was, on the whole, taller than the dark
that it is more subject to insanity and
nervous diseases and that fair people
are mostly sailors, scientists, solicit
tors and poets.
The darker type, he says, belongs
more to towns, is shorter and physi-
cally stronger, while 1t produces mostly
statesmen, preachers, explorers, actors
and actresses and men and women OF
lower birth.
AS it was obvious that certain types
are more suited than others to vary
ing climates tho lecturer suggested
that a committee should be appointed
to superintend the physical depart
ment OF our emigration offices, picking
ou. those who were suited for south.
o:l countries, While those fitted for
northern climates should be sent north.

LONDON WAITS FOR STILES
UNTIL AMERIC4...'S ARRIVE
special cable to The Herald.

Special Gable TO The Herald.
LONDON, April 27.-London society
is looking forward to have a fine edu-
cation in dress this season. Society
women would hardly admit it were the
question to be put point black to them,
but one hears much at the dinner table
or over the 5 o'clock cup of tea about
what is expected owing to the enor-
nous number of Americans who are
expected to grace the great horse show
with their presence, and it is generally
admitted how we'll the American wo-
men dress when they come to this side
AS the writer of Fashions and Fan
cies" in the Globe says: mo woman
in the world, not even the Parisienne,
knows better how to dress for travel
ing than our American cousins of the
gentler sex. True, they buy much of
their trousseau de voyage from Lon
don tailors or from English tailors in
America, but they display the greatest
taste in ct ceteras, and that is where
the average English woman fails"
Here is how one woman described
herself;
do you like my new gown early
Victorian in front and empire at
back?" That Is so. The back nearly
carried to a point three or four inches
above the waist and floating out from
the center in graceful folds.
And win the American women like
the Greek sleeve of the English cous-
ins dress? This is another distinct
feature of the seasons smart frocks
Less marked in character than the
kimono sleeve, 1t falls over the
shoulder in a slanting line that con-
tinues that of the bodice and then en-
circles the arm i'm a straight band.
From under this comes a long, full
sleeve i'm muslin, soft silk, chiffon, em-
broidered net lisse, or some other ma
terial different from that of the dress
itself. The undersleeVes come well
around the turn Of the elbows and are
finished with all kinds OF daintinesses
In lace frills. lingerie frills. bands of
embroidery, and hanging pendeloques
OF ribbon or other trimmings. AS to
the collar and vest, they have been
growing more and more elaborate with
every season, and now there Is some
times as much work in them as the
whole of the rest Of the bodice.

VANDERBILT AND HIS HORSES
ARE THE TALK OF LONDON
special Cable to The Herald.


LONDON, April 27.-The coach which
Alfred G. Vanderbilt may later drive
in New York was to be seen in the
fashionable West End on Tuesday
with the owner on the box driving his
four famous grays, Storm King, Vik-
ing, Vanity and Vogue. The four-in-
hand created something like sensa-
tion in Piccadilly, when Mr.. Wander
bilt drove in from Hendon, turned up
Berkeley street and drew up at the
entrance to the Berkeley hotel, where
he is stopping. On the coach was
painted New York" This drew won
dering comments from crowd of cab
drivers and other persons with the
air of the stable who mingled in the
throng that gathered about.
"Hi say, did e drive all the way
from New Yawk with that rig?" one
bystander inquired.
why, certainly" replied another;
"them American toffs don't mind takin
q bit O. damp road"
The horses came in for a good share
of admiration and their good points
were duly commented upon.
Mr.. Vanderbilt has been out to Hem
don, where his horses are stabbed, daily
since his arrival. The recent weather
has not done the animals any good. Ex-
perts say the tWenty-seVen are not in
as good a condition as when they ar
rived. The roads have been too hard.
and the large field at the back of the
stables has been too soft to serve as a
training track, so with the exception
of a constitutional the horses have
spent most of their time during the
last ten days tossing their heads in

DIMPLELESS ELBOWS DOOM
SHORT SLEEVE IN LONDON
Special Cable to The Herald.


LONDON, April 27.-The short sleeve
is doomed. 1t is creeping, bit by bit,
down to the wrist of fashions DANES.
There was a time when it more than
cleared the elbow, the big puff at the
shoulder being gathered into broad,
tight band above the elbow joint, which
emphasized the dimples. But it is not
everybody who has a dimpled elbow,
and so the sleeve was heightened, until
1t became three quarter length, ever de-
scending until the new spring fashions
check 1t at the wrist.
THE fact is that although the general
appearance of a short sleeve may seem
smart, there are many who object to it
on the ground that it can only really
look well when the forearm of a wo-
man is exceptionally good" said the
manager of a west end dressmaking
establishment
"Then, besides the question of beauty
there Is comfort If a short sleeve is
worn a long glove must also be worn
and there Is nothing hotter than a long
Kid or suede glove. A thin muslin or
silk sleeve worn a little full is as cool
as anyone can wish 1t to be, and this
summer promises to be an exception
ally hot one, so fashion has decided
that she will not be hampered by re-
strictions such as bound her last year
to long, stuffy gloves.
II cannot say exactly what the new
fashion in sleeves will be, but as there
is nearly always a lull after an excess
i'm fashion, | should myself say that
plain waists will be made with an ordi-
nary plain shirt sleeve, while the more
elaborate froeks and costumes will have
a slight tendency to the leg-of-mutton
sleeve.
There was some talk of puff sleeve,
but 1t was again argued that it would
hardly be suitable for very hot SUM
mer or very light materials such as are
being introduced for this seasons

Nine. Gould refused to rent her fine
residence to Ambassador White, who
has been searching everywhere for a
fitting dwelling and who despairs of
getting one in the fashionable district
A syndicate, which includes some of
the foremost financiers in Paris, is
eager to get possession of the Gould
mansion. If successful, they will rent
it's salon to wealthy or fashionable per-
sons who wish to give receptions, din
ners or dances. They will make it the
Sherry's or Delmonicos of Paris,

the American and English custom OF
giving entertainments in public houses
instead of receiving their guests in the
comparatively small limits of their pri-
vate dwellings,.

that there will be a series of larger
halls, in which several entertainments
can be given simultaneously. Society

The Washington palace is now the
only public place where such entertain

But many of Nine. Goulds neighbors
strongly oppose such c transformation

LADY GODIVA

ANCIENT TOWN OF COVENTRY
WILL GIVE PAGEANT
Committee Formed ITO Preserve the
Unltles" Likely 10 Decide in Favor
Of Having Impersonator Of Fa-
nous Countess Ride Naked '
Special Cable to The Herald.

Special Cable to The Herald
LONDON, April 27.-The young wo-
man who was reported in the guse OF
Lady Godiva to have ridden a horse
through the streets Of the brave old
town of Coventry in the dead Of night,
much to the disgust of the townspeople
when they knew of 1t, Is soon to have
a rival by sanction, or, rather, desire.
The good people of the ancient town
of Coventry are to have a "Godiva
pageant" next August, but the histor-
ical committee which has formed ito
preserve the unities" is just now di-
vided on the important question of
how the twentieth century impersona-
tor of the famous wife of Earl Loofric
should be dressed.
Want the Historic Costume
Historical purists assert that Lady
Godiva should not be dressed at all,
because her historic costume" as far
as Coventry was concerned, consisted
of her innocence. on the other hand,
certain members of the committee be-
lieve that this limited costume is be-
meath the dignity of countess.
1t is not a case where the good old
British principle of splitting the differ
ence can be applied. 1t is believed that
the adherents to the historical costume
which Du Maurier described as "the
altogether" will win, so that Coventry,
the city of so many brave traditions,
is not to be shocked by a pageant in
which Lady Godiva in frills and fur
bellows will repeat the famous ride
through the gray stoned city.
Anxious to Be GodiVas
Several ambitious young women have
written to the committee offering to
wear the historic costume" and ride
through Coventry just for the fun of
the thing" but the matter of selecting
a Godiva is in the hands of theatrical
agent.
One curious fact in connection with
the pageant is that the young woman
who is to impersonate Godiva will not
be allowed to arrive in the city until
the morning of the procession and will
have to leave Immediately after the
pageant is over.

CLUB ATHLETES.
BOX MONTANA KID
CROWD ENJOYS TRAINING CAMP
SPORT
Husky Lightweight Hooks Up with
Amateur Glove Men, Who Acqut
Themselves CreditabIy-Two
Pounds Overweight

An innovation so far as Los Angeles
is concerned was introduced yesterday
at the quarters of professional boxer
Surprising even their instructor
Dewitt Van Court, three members of
the Los Angeles Athletic club glove
brigade stepped a lively measure with
Jesse McDaniels, otherwise known to
ring devotees as Montana Kid.
A gala occasion was yesterday in the
pleasant Cahuenga pass. A more ideal
place for out-of-door work could
scarcely be imagined, and the large
gathering which assembled to watch
Gladiator Montana train enjoyed a
shady retreat as they witnessed a
sturdy athlete do things calculated to
tougher his frame and lengthen his
wind.
Automobiles brought numerous adj
mirers of the Montana and also those
who wended their way out of curiosity
to see what fighter looked like when
out of the prize ring.
While his audience sat under the
pepper trees Montana worked out in
the open, dancing about his opponents
who were experiencing their first eff
forts with a professional boxer.
Many women We're among those pres
ent and they enjoyed the clever
exhibitions. Attired in tights and
gymnasium shirts the men set to with
sprightliness which was exciting if
not dangerous. Just what Montana
could have accomplished had he so de-
sired is not to the point. Van Court S
pupils accredited themselves wonder
fully we'll and evidenced no fear at
meeting the husky lightweight.
After a few minutes of shadow box
ing and rope skipping Montana donned
his gloves and shook hands with S. N.
Coulter. This young man went three
stiff rounds and displayed no little
ability in showing his gloves around.
A stirring round of applause which
greeted the finale evidently encour-
aged j. Barlow, who stepped in for two
rounds. Montana could not refrain
from shooting over a few stiff ones and
Van Court was obliged to caution him
bit.
Cliff Reumann was the last to go on
and lively two rounds finished the
afternoons entertainment.
Although Montana's wind appeared to
be in strong condition yesterday his
stomach did not look to be capable of
standing a gruelling onslaught. After
shower Montana stepped on the
scales and weighed just 1851 pounds.
Conditions of the battle require that
each man shall weigh in at o'clock
Friday afternoon at 1873 pounds. Mon
tana figures that he will have suffi-
cient time during the next four days
in which to easily reach the weight.
