ONE REALLY HURT
IN A FRENCH DUEL
Coming of Age" Combat of
Novice Results in Wounding
of Veteran.

PARIS. May 30.-The dueling season
here is now IN full swing. Every day
there are one or more encounters Of a
serio-comic order at the recognized
dueling grounds on the outskirts of the
city. Most OF the affairs of honor are
between members Of that fiery and SEN
sitive tribe-actors, playwrights. and
critics.
One duel was remarkable from the
fact that one combatant was seriously
wounded, ara also for being a coming
of-age" duel. Two expert swordsmen.
Ravinez and De Vnlette, quarreled
some months ago and sent seconds to
each other. At that time Rayinez was
under twenty-one. and De VilIette re-
fused TO fight with a minor. The duel
was accordingly postponed until the
youthful duelist's twenty-first birthday.
1t proved an exciting combat. Raw

asked her 10 withhold al $ further legal
action.

The girl consented. but when the time
for the interview came she learned that
Turner had sailed for Europe. Sidney r
Lash, Of 200 Broadway. had determined
that the best they could do would be to
await his return.
In supplying escorts and social com
panions for other women Miss Schneider
has had success. She engaged q score
or more of assistants, who ranged from
college students to gentlemen out Of
jobs, and for a dollar an hour and eX-
penses she allowed>Aer women patrons
to have them for theater parties. din
ners. sightseeing and shopping tours.
She also supplied proper ehaperons for
women who preferred companions OF
their own sex.
But her own escort proved by no
means as satisfactory as the ones she
rented to other women.
Miss Schneider is a slender brunette.
Before she became president of the Ac-
commodation Bureau she was a private
detective In that capacity she has
served papers on many prominent men
in various suits
She says however, that the New York
A Accommodation Bureau is not involved
IN her personal affairs, and because she
has sued her escort it doesn't mean that
all the women patrons of the concern
will sue theirs.
In the meantime the State autho titles
will investigate the bureau to ascertain
whether or not it is an employment
agency and should take out license.

drama, which has been played at two
invitation matinees at The Playhouse.
as the WORK OF IT L. Ellis" is praised
by the critics as one of the best efforts
in romantic blank verse drama that has
been heard in years. il contains many
fine lines. though IN parts the language
is marred by stiffness and Pedantry.
The story is founded on a Welsh
Ar-hurian legend translated by Lady
Charlotte Guest The knight Lanvai
comes from Italy TO win honor and re-
ncwn at the far-famed court Of King
Arthur Although he eXerts all his
Eallantry. he fails to distinguish him
self among the Knights of the Round
Table
Lanval Is persuaded by a comDatriot,
Bernardo. TO leave Britain, where he is
so poorly appreciated, and seek fame
in other lands. Travelling through a
forest. he meets some charcoal burn
ers. who advise him not to tarry in the
forest. which is haunted by evil spirits.
Nevertheless he stops, and dOZes over
a fire He is visited by Triamour, an
unearthIy being, who entreats him to go
with her to the Middle World-the
world Of contemplation and high ideals.
He consents, and departs with her.
After TIRES months of inactiOn and
dreaming in the Middle World, Lanval
is weary Of it. He longs for worldly
war and strife, and begs Trimour for
permission to return. She gives 1t,
saying she will watch over him and
bring him honor as long as he keeps
silence on his meeting with her and her
very existence.
Returning to the court, he IS cues
toned by GsraiuU and the other knights
as TO where he had been, but he keeps
hrs vow OF secrecy as to his adven-
lures. He fights with Agravaina and
defeats him. Queen Guinevere sends
for and declares her love for Lanval,
who repulsesA her, telling her that he
loves a lady far more beautiful
For this insult, Guinevere denOunces
I.anvaI 10 the King, saying that he had
first made love to her and when re-
fused had insulted her. Lanval is ban
ished by Judgment Of the knights ap-
pointed by King arthur TO judge him
L.anval departs and goes in search Of
Triamour. She comes to him again, but
tells him that ony through death can
be attain happiness, and under mystic
gesture of her hands he dies.

SHIELDS FOR SOLDIERS.

Recent experiments at Sheffield, Eng
land, suggest the possibility that in this
century shields may once more form
an important part OF the equipment Of
an army Steel shields. three milli-
meters in thickness. and about $50
square inches in area. have been de-
yised, which afford complete protection
against bullets fred from the service
rife at a range of 400 yards. The small
size of the shield which weighs only
seven pounds, requires that the soldier
shall lie prone on the ground in order
10 be sheltered. Each shield has a loop
hole for the rife, and studs at the sides,
so that series Of them can be linked
into @ continuous screen. The idea is
that by the use Of such shields the ne
cesslty Of digging trenches may be
avOided.-Harper' Weekly.
