cuiatlon mere concerning the future ruler
OF monaco. 1t was stated in some papers
that Prince Louis, son of Prince Alhert
had renowned his right of succession ne
cause ne was not present at the inaugu-
ration OF the Photographed museum, to
which he had been invited. The fate that
the Duke of Urach, cousin-German of
Prince Albert, was present at the cere-
mony was taken to indicate that he
would become the ruler of the principali-
w. He was born at the palace of Mon
AGO, and was educated there until he
reached the age of -. 1t is shown that
Prince Louis displeased his father by his
morganatic union with a woman of SIM
pie degree and that according to the laws
of Monaco, Prince Albert can appoint his
successor by simply changing his will
The gossips even went SO far as to de-
clare that the prince had made arrange
ments which would preclude his son from
succeeding him.
Though the feminists are not to be
given the vote just yet, their movement
is making Roadway A proof of this is
General Association of Students. For the
first time the association has decided to
| admit young women students to the priv
ileges of their institution in the Rue
Dante. The number of students Is in
creasing every year, and the fact that
they will be permitted to make use of
the students headquarters is no small
fft
allotted to them, including library,
which will be provided with womens re-
views and fashion papers, and lecture
| room, to which they will invite their
| comrades of the stronger sex to func-
| tons every month.
A noteworthy triumph has to be laid
to the credit of a police dog. There is in
saint Denis a gang of ruffians, who take
| delight in terrorizing the neighborhood
They imagine that it is their special priv
ilege TO boss every show, particularly
dancing saloons frequented by humble
| mldinettes and their admirers.
The roughs invaded a balmusette in the
Rue de Jessaint, and wanted to take the
management out of the hands of the pro-
| prietors. The latter put his unwelcome
visitors to the door. They left, but prom
ised to return soon. They kept their
word. With wild war-whoop thew
rushed into the dancing room, brandish-
ing knives and pointing revolvers at the
proprietor.
Surrounding the man they threatened
to kill him and would in all proba bility
have put their menace into execution had
not policeman entered the hall, accom-
| panied by his dog Prince. AS soon as the

| made wild rush for the exit. The dog
at once got to business, and put the
ruffians to flight quicker than a detach-
| ment of troops would have done. BY way
of securing q memento of his exploit, he
seized the leader of the gang with his
teeth and held him until the policeman
slipped handouts on his wrists and took
him to the police station.
M. Rodin, the famous sculptor, has been
asked if he does not think that the
beauty of classic times far surpassed that
of our own, and whether wodern women
are not far from equalling those who
posed before Phidias.
mot at ALL was M Robins reply.
THE artists of those days had eyes to
see perfection, while those of today are
blind. That's is all. The Greek women
were beautiful, but their beauty lay also
sented them There are today women ex-
actly similar-the women of the south of
Europe especially. The woman of modern
Italy, for instance, belongs to the same
Mediterranean type as the models of
Phidias."
M. Rodin also remarked that in the
union of the beautiful and the ugly it is
always the beautiful that finally gets the
upper hand. Nature by divine law con-
rfor, f1xrr rot 10 he lo1tfo
ly turns to perfection.
Again says M. Rodin, beauty is ev-
erywhere; it is no beauty that is wanting
to our eyes, but it is that our eyes fail
to perceive it. Beauty is character and
expression"
The conference which recently met in
Paris for the purpose of finding ways
and means to suppress obscene publica-
tions has drafted a resolution which will
be submitted to the governments of the
various countries represented.
AS however, some time must elapse be-
fore the ratification and signature of the
convention, the conference, in order that
effective machinery may be set in motion
as soon as possible, has decided on the
immediate signature of an administra-
tive arrangement to come into force d.
rectly it has been ratified. This is to
create in each country an international
office with authority to correspond d.
rectly with similar offices in the other
states for the purpose of procuring in
formation with regard to photographers
and their methods, as also to the means
of preventing the circulation of obscene
writings or objects and securing or hast
ening procedure SO far as Is compatible
with the internal legislation of each con-
tracing country. These national offices
will also communicate to one another
extracts from the judicial records of inter-
national photographers.
The signing of this arrangement will
take place next week at the ministry of
foreign affairs. The adhesion to this ad-
ministrative arrangement by countries
not represented at the conference will be
invited.
