ON
FENELON'S LIFE
JULES LEMAlTRE ASSOCIATES
HIM WITH ROUSSEAU
TWO FORMED SPIRITUAL DYN-
ASTY OF DREAMERS
Writer, He Says, Becomes a Hereto
for Having Listened Too At
tentiveIy to Promptings
of the Heart

PARIS, Feb. I'm. Jules Lemaitre
gave. a few. days ago in the hall of
the Geographical society, before
large audience, the first of his course
of lectures on Fenelon, organized by
the Societe des Conferences. NJ. Le-
maitre, who last year lectured on
Rousseau, explained that this year he
had chosen Fenelon because he consid-
cred that these two writer's, with
Chateaubriand, formed "a spiritual dy-
nasty of dreamers, malcontents and
discoverers."
He took the starting point of Fene-
Ions life his remark: my youth was
pleasant, free and filled with agreeable
studies and delightful companions" :"
and as its conclusion, 1.-The world
seems to me bad comedy which will
vanish in a few hours. I despise my
self even more than the world. [ re-
gard everything as a makeshift, and 1t
is in this attitude toward everything
in the world that I find peace" On the
recent occasion, however, Mr. Lemai-
tire dealt with Fonelon's early life. As
for his ambition, the lecturer said,
acutely: "In priest personal ambi-
tion can be merged in the social func-
tion, and the pleasure of ruling men
and women in the pleasure of directing
and saving souls"
M. Lemaitre began the study of Fen
elon's works with his refutation of the
system of Malebranche who attempted
to reconcile God with the notion of
scientific law, and who has remained
famous because he regarded animals
as machines and considered his dog
merely a clock. In this work of or
thodoxy the lecturer discovered all the
great gifts displayed later in Fene-
lon5s writings on Quietism. "As
Malebranche became almost a hereto

Lemaitre, $50 Fenelon will, in his turn,
become a hereto for having listened
too attentively to the promptings of

SOCIETY WINS IN
MODISTES' FIGHT
C0sTUMERS MUST DELIVER
GOODS, SAYS COURT
Decision Acclaimed as Victory for
Reputable People Who Make
Home in the French
Capital

PARIS, Feb. ia question which Is
of considerable interest to the fair sex,
as it concerns the obligations Of dress
makers to their customers, has Just
been settled by one of the Partisan law
courts Last summer a woman wish
ing to give a trial order to an unas-
suming eouturiere, established at some
distance from the business quarter Oh
the city, ordered a costume, which was
duly sent to her house and found 10 pe
so satisfactory that a few months att
terward she ordered a couple OF dresses,
which, however, the tradeswoman de-
clined to forward to her dwelling, say
ing that she could go to the shop, pay
the bill and take them away with ners
This the customer refused to do, argu-
ing that the dresses should be sent 10
her, and that she ought to be allowed
due leisure for the inspection of the
account. But the dressinakef fleid HIiii,
so the woman, whose husband is a ols-
tinguished member of the Paris par,
determined to refer the matter to the
law court which deals with such points.
When the case was heard, the eoutu-
riere said
my conduct in this affair has been
irreproachable, as / have only con-
formed to the law, which empowers me
to avail myself of the right to keep
back costumes which have been Or
dered of me-
This is quite wrorg," argued the
nurchaser's husband, who pleaded for
his wife. 'This right to which REFER
ence is made cannot be exercised IN
this case, as there has been no refusal
to pay but, on the contrary, an onef
to settle the bill after due examination
of 1t and the forwarding OF the goods'
Besides, the proof that this is the Gus
tom is to be found in the fact that the
first costume ordered was brought TO
the house without any objection nav
ing been raised by the couturiere.
The lawyer won the case for ms Wile,
the court having in its Judgment SET
forth that the trouble simply arose
from the fact that, contrary 10 Wiz I,ae
had happened on the first occasion, the
dressmaker had refused to take the
dresses to the customers house for nef
to trv on for the last time, adding tnat
the plaintiffs claim was fully Justlned,
and that as the goods ought to nave
heen forwarded some slight compensa-
fion was due to her. So the couturlere
has to pay 81 by way of damages, ana
has also to deliver the two dresses
within the space of three days, ana IN
good condition, failing which she VIII
have to put down 40 cents 1or every
days delay.
This case seems to be only one more
illustration Of the shyness of the aver
sc tradesman to deliver goods on the
SLIGHTEST credit to favorably known GUS
toners who are domiciled in PARIS,
while he is ready to repose the most
imnlicit confidence in total strangers
who give him the address OF some
fashionable hotel, and who may leave

membering to settle their accounts

SENATOR SMITH
SHOWS THE WAY
MaYIand'S Democratic Leader
COunSeIS Conservatism
Victory In 1912

Senator John Walter Smith expressed
himself upon the result of the election
as follows:
1--WE have won great victory through
out the country and rejoice in it. The
vote is tremendous and thoroughly de-
served rebukc to the Republican party
for its violated pledge and un-American
policies. It carries with it thrilling mes
sage of hope to the Democracy that the
triumph of Tuesday will be repeated in
1912, in the election of Democratic
President and a Democratic Congress in
both branches.
At this stage it is necessary for the
Democratic leaders to move with caution
and conservatism. | hope to see the
party avoid radicalism and eschew all
unsafe and unsound doctrines. We
must so conduct ourselves as to retain
the confidence of the people and to con-
vince them the success of the Demo-
cratic party involves no menace to the
business prosperity of the country.
The downward and equitable revision
of the tariff is demanded by the people
and the returns show that the country
is swinging away from the Republican
doctrine of high protection and to the
fundamental and essential doctrine Of the
Democratic party-a tariff for revenue
only. This is the only safe. sound
doctrine. 1t is one upon which all Demo-
Gratis should and can unite"
