PARIS. Dec. 25.-Why deceive one S
self? The generation OF beautiful
women who, In the upper circles OF
French society, have attracted the at
tention Of the public for very many
years Is about to disappear. The du-
ties Of motherhood await them! The
names which have been heid in stereo-
typed form for constant and repeated
use In the newspapers OF France will
have to be cast aside to make room
for the coming generation OF new beau.

II have II on the best authority from
Berlin that the recent conferences oil
the kaiser's family have been anything
but placid and peaceful. AT recent
family gathering at Potsdam, where
the discussion got unusually warm, the
crown prince was particularly aggres-
sive toward his father. He accused
him Of having, by his Incorporate. In
