GIRL GOOD LAWYER
PRETTY YOUNG FRENCH WOMAN
WINS IMPORTANT CASE.
Mile. MircpoIsISy Is only II Years Old

Doesn't Want II to inter

Paris.--The youngest woman lawyer
in the world has just been defending q
woman accused of trying to kill her
self and her baby by inhaling the
fumes OF a charcoal stove. Mile.
Helene Mlropolsky is only 81 and was
sworn in as lawyer before the court
of appeals in this city last October.
Her appearance as counsel for the de-
tense in a criminal trial attracted a
large number OF old lawyers to the
courtroom, though the case itself was
nothing out Of the ordinary. Her
client had been abandoned by the IA
Their Of her child; finding herself en-
the verge OF starvation she had tried
te end her miseries. The baby had
died. but she had been saved.
"Portia come TO life!" cried an old
jurist as he watched the beautiful girl
and listened to the eloquence of her
soft voice pleading for mercy for the
unfortunate sister on whom memorable
justice had laid her heavy hand. And
so moving was her plea that the jury
acquitted her client.
Mile. Miropolsky was born in Paris
OF parents who were Poles by birth.
Both father and mother are doctors OF
medicine, 80 It is only fair to say that
some OF the young woman's talent is
inherited. She has nothing about her
that suggests the new woman"
Handsome, graceful, elegant in cos
tune, she looks like a young woman
OF the fashionable world-until she
dons her gown and cap; then indeed
she seems what the old lawyer called
her-"Portia come to life."

do her justice. fot they cannot repro,
duce the air of intelligence that beams
in every feature nor the changing ex.

the jet black hair, the white teeth OF
the charm of manner which are hers.
Nile. Miropolsky desires especially
to practice in divorce cases and on be
half of children. With regard to di-
vorce. she expresses ideas which in
some countries would be considered
audacious. She would like to see di
vorce made easier; that is, she adyo,

creased competition and not really TO
any of the reasons commonly and
hypocritically put forward. She would

which their qualities would, she be-
