AMERICANS CARRY GOOD TASTE ABROAD Europe is Adopting Many New
 World Customs THE PASTIME IS BRIDGE Conversation Is No Longer the Chief Occupation of Social Gatherings
 In France and England,
 As of Old.
THE PASTIME IS BRIDGE
BY MARQUIS DE cAsTELLANE.

i Copyright, eo7, by w. R. Hearst. Paris, June 2e.-Every spring I hear fl said that the New World crosses the ocean and comes to France to seek among us the traditions of good taste and ur- banity which were formerly the glory of our country, but, in my opinion. the truth is exactly the contrary. The Americans do not come to us for our taste and tra- ditions, but they bring us theirs, which is , quite another thing.
 And the longer time rolls on, the more this fact is emphasized. Every season we notice the advance of Americanism. I need not but two examples. Formerly conversation was the great art exercised in all the lordly mansions of France. The salons of Mime. Jeofrin, the Duchess de Dino Mme. Recamier, the Duchess de Galliera and in later times, Princess Metternich and Countess Edmond de Pourtales have remained celebrated for their flow of brilliant and witty talk.
 Politicians, literary men, great finan- ciers, artists and patrons of art gathered in these mansions several times a week and exchanged ideas and opened fresh planes of thought.
 Today in these same salons no conver- sation takes place any longer. The pas time is briose. And if anyone dares to interpolate a chance remark or two he Is regarded as nuisance, snubbed and per- haps the players will even whisper in their hostess ears a remark or two which is polite neither to herself nor her guests.
 The grand monde of Paris has ceased to converse, and in place of the witty talks of former times now devotes itself to that most banal of occupations. betting round green table. Another habit arising out of the changed manners which Amer ica has left us is the desertion of our /Ae old family cansions when we wish to amuse our children and give distraction to our wives.
 Not only do we no longer open our own houses to guests for fear of being too much disturbed in our daily life, but for entertaining purposes we go to some hotel. where we are sure of being able to place huge reception rooms at the disposal of our guests, where they will be served by menials who are accustom- ed to this work.
 Ten years ago this sort of thing would not have been possible-our aristocratic ladies would have considered it scanda- lous thing: but by dint of imbibing Amer ican habits, Parisian women in the high est society no longer hesitate to do in this capital what they do in New York. Just as they have their Waldorf in New York, we have our Washington Palace here.
 It may be true that guests amuse them selves just as much there as they do in

paign on her behalf of ideas which ac- cord so i'll with her social situation.
 But this is what is being said in London l society-and it is not being said sub rosa either-on this subject. Lady Warwick was a very beautiful woman. and some years ago she attracted the attention of a very highly placed parsonage Who knows but this caprice did not arouse in her thoughts or hopes of one day playing an important role in the history of her king dom.
 However this may be one day the august parsonage turned his thoughts to other beauties, and the beautiful countess was left alone with her grievance and her re- grets.
 She has several times since then en- deavored to bring back the f1ckle one to her feet again, but without success It was for this reason that this noble woman en- tered into politics on the side which is most violently opposed to the throne Is not the history of Lady Warwick that of many socialists in all contries?
 Of all the American ladies married to Frenchmen in Paris none occupies more undisputed position than the Vicomtesse Louis d'Andigne (nee Colman). beauti- full woman of that exuberant beauty which is so common in America, she has by her charm, grace and goodness achieved for herself an exceptional posi- tion in French society
 Add to this that she is the wife of one of the most distinguished gentlemen in our country and you will easily under stand why her salon in the Rue de Berri is one of the best frequented in Paris and one where it is the desire of everyone to be received.
 The vicomte and the vicomtesse d'An- digne have one of the best chefs de cui sine in Paris and their dinners are cele- brated for their elegance Another pas sion of this happy couple is motoring and for six months in the year at least they travel through Europe in a 4o-horse power car, today at Stockholm, tomor row at Brindisi. after tomorrow at Mos COW. There is one drawback to these long ilrneVs and that iS that the American

 In Delaware "Salome'' has met with ] even less favor than even in New York, for in the former city, as we hear, the entire trope performing Oscar Wilde's drama has been arrested.
 It is not for me to comment on this somewhat summary judgment of piece which some consider to be immoral, but I simply mention the fact to show that Paris has been much less severe against drama which was inspired by an episode in the Bible
 It was very pleasant and elegant to go and listen to the strains of Richard Strauss music when he was giving his opera here, and the etiquette of the aesthetic affection which is now reign ing here. compelled all our ladies in high society as well as the bourgeois of taste to go once or twice to the Chatelet the atre and hear sung in German, this work which was written in French by an Eng fish poet.
 It was a triumph for Countess Greffulhe, a triumph which, however have been somewhat overshadowed since the event by the fact that as the expense of the performances did not cover the receipts, the countess is responsible for the little sum or O,OOO trancS, Wnlcn IS wanting III the organizers cash box. Count Greffulhe, who is not such musical enthusiast as his wife, found the bill little high, es- pecially considering the fact that "Sa- lome" found so many admirers.
 The performers also had other unpleas- ant consequences. as French society has become divided into two parties, frantic admirers of the opera. and on the other hand furious protesters. It has given rise to disputes and exchange of insults, and even a number of duels have resulted. Today musical society in Paris is greatly divided as to the merits of Richard Strauss work.
 Everybody in England as also in France, knows of the famous Countess of Warwick, who is commonly called the Specialist Princess" Her electoral pro- wess is a subject of astonishment and 1t is often asked why this great lady, who has been so favored by fortune and na- ture, has undertaken such a violent cam

holy Sabbath day in bad behavior
by not leaving their whiskey bottles
at home. Shame on the young men
who have so little respect for their
Creator, Who gives them the breath
they breathe; and have so little re-
gard for the dear parents who have
raised them; SO little thought of
their characters here and the reputa-
ton they are making; and last, but
not least, the awful sentence that no
drunkard can enter che kingdom of
heaven. 1t is awfully alarming that
girls will associate with young men
whom they know to be addicted to
the use of strong drink. l wish every
good, pure girl would have the cour-
age to tell any young man that If he
drank she would not go with him;
shun him like you would a moral
pestilence. Girls, you had better exc
out your lives under the care of your
parents and live and die an old spin
ster than be tied to a jug handle.
How many homes are ruined, how
many lives blighted, how much sor-
row, grief and tears on account Of
whiskey. But we are glad that all
boys do not drink. / have but one

MEN AND A FEW FRIENDS
ENJOYED BANQUET On
MONDAY NIGHT.
Feast Was Held i'm Assembly Room
of Columbus Theater Building
and Was Greatly Enjoyed
by All Who Attended.

The members of the Columbus Ri
fiemen and a number Of invited guests
enjoyed a delightful banquet on last
Monday night. The banquet was held
in the assembly room of the Colum-
bus Theater building, and was presid
ed over by Capt. W. c. Mcclure, who
never appears to better advantage
tnan when enacting the role of toast
master.
An elegant menu was served, and
after cigars had been passed around
various speakers were called upon
Under the soothing effect of the fra
grant Havanas thoughts came rap
idly and words of eloquence and wis
dow flowed rapidly, having come
from hearts filled with love and 10y
atty both for their country and for
the gallant company which has ex-
listed for more than half a century
and which has participated in no less
than three great wars. Capt. Nc
Clure called up many of the promi-
nent citizens who were present as
guests for brief speeches, and among
those who responded with witty and
Interesting talks were Capt C. A.
Donnell, Major Jno. P. Mayo, Capt
T. H. Sharp, Maj. o. NJ. Lawrence,
and others. All these speakers said
nice things about the Columbus Ri
femen, and predicted for the COM
pany a future as bright and as glo-
rious as its illustrious past. These
addresses were responded to on be-
half of the company by Capt. w. S.
Mullins and Mr.. Oscar Locke, both
of whom made neat little speeches
entirely appropriate to the occasion.
Before leaving the banquet hall the
boys gave three rousing cheers for
Mr. Harrison Johnston, the Oldest
member of the company, and gave Of
the absence of Gen. Stephen D. Lee,
the gallant commander in chief of
the United Confederate Veterans,
who found it impossible to attend
the banquet.
The object of the banquet was to
awaken enthusiasm both among the
members of the company and the
public generally in the coming en-
campment of the State National
Guard, which is to be held here this
summer. 1t is the ambition of Capt.
Mullins to have the best drilled COM
pany on the grounds, and with this
his men become SO deeply concerned
regarding the success of the COM
pany that they will attend drills reg
ularly and do everything in their
power to bring the company up to
the highest standard of excellence.

home. That is right, Walter. No
place like home, where a good mo-
ther is.
Mrs. Hambric, of Brooksville, came
up Friday and stayed until after noon
on Sunday, visiting Mr.. Jesse Wal

Jimmie Hinkle came in couple
of days to see home folks from the
A. and NJ. College.

Mr.. Ballard, who clerked for the
firm of Brooks e Ledbetter, has gone
back to West Point. Mr.. Henry Hart

know who will get it yet. Uncle Sam
will want a man to go all kinds of

BY the way, the train carrying the
students of Millsaps and Mississippi
Colleges to Columbus to attend the
oratorical contest Friday last switch
ed here to let the fast train pass, and
gave the boys little stop off. Their
behavior was such as brought out
general comment. They were manly
in appearance, quiet and genteel-
not boisterous, but especially civil.
Their behavior here was in such con-
trast to the conduct of students from
some other institutions of the State
on outings. Our people were very
favorably impressed with the discip-
line of those institutions.
