THE WHITE SLAVE
TRAFFIC IN PARIS.
Prisoners Arraigned in Court
Prominent Parisians Accused---
One an Editor.
ALLEGED HIDEOUS ORGIES.
Madame GnIlmin said to Have Fur
mished Wealthy Men With Victims
Mothers Admit selling Children.

Paris. Dec. 27-Nineteen prisoner,
charged with being implicated in the
notorious white slave scandal. were
arranged in the Correctional Court
today. An attempt was made yes
terday for the defense 10 keep the
proceedings secret because OF the
prominence of several Of the ac-
cused.
Among the prisoners are Victor
Falchon. former editor Of THE Lam
Tern" and close personal friend oil
Premier BRAND; Gastnn Allard. u
wealthy manufactures and Madam
G,iilmin, who conducted the white
slave agency from which the wealthy
society men OF Paris are alleged to
have procured their victims.
In addition to these, several moth
ers who admit having sold their chill
dren, some of whom were only eleven
years of age, are among the defen-
dants.
A dozen prominent bankers and
government officials have fled from
France to escape prosecution in this
case.
The most sensational testimony is
expected at the trial. Even the Paris
newspapers failed TO print some OF
the details oil the hideous stories
told by the young victims of the pris-
oners when they were examined by
Prefect of Police Lepin.
Nine. Guilmin, who conducted the
"nitchevo agency" 90 Rue La Bru-
yare, is alleged to have sold the young
girls on a commission basis, giving
the mothers of the victims triffling
sums.
Falchon owns number OF villas
and chateaus in France and the prose-
cution alleges that the most hideous
orgies were conducted in them.
Neighbors OF Falchon have told the
police how luxurious automobiles
rolled up 10 the former editors
homes and magistrates, diplomats,
bankers and manufacturers stepped
ont bearing on their arms girls in
their teens.
Blinds OF the Falchon dwellings
were invariably drawn but the noise
of the orgies could be heard for a
great distance.
Falchon is said to have eXerted
powerful pressure upon the officials.
through his influential friends. to
prevent the proceedings of today $
trial being made public.
Because OF the sensational nature
of the evidence the trial of the l9
;prisoners accused of being impli-
Gated in the white slave traffic will
he private. The Judge of the Court
of Corrections declared he made the
ruling because the evidence would
tend to corrupt public morals. but
the real reason is believed to be that
powerful pressue was brought to OBJ
tain secrecy. because OF the promi-
nence OF several Of the accused.

"Wel," said the fluffy haired blonde
after a judicial pause, there are only
three causes that make a happy mar

THE WAY TO SERVE A
MEAL RIGHTLY.
Outline Presented That May Prove
Useful.

Waiting requires more head than
other household employements. one
can keep accounts slowly and labor
iously; one can sweep without pos
sessing much tact; one can even cool,
without possessing a great degree of
administrative ability. or do laundry
work without good memory. To
wait cleverly and satisfactorily re-
quires all these qualities, writes Eliz-
abcth Hale Gilman.
The object of waiting is that the
needs and wants Of those seated at
The table shall be supplied without
effort, often without consciousness on
their part. 1t also preserves the or
derlness Of the table, and makes in
quiries about peoples wishes unneces-
Sary.
The waitress should have in her
mind a plan Of the meal including
not only the food, but also the glass
silver and linen needed for serving
it. If the meal Is more than two
courses long il is often better to
have the plan written out. This is a
little trouble. but saves mistakes and
the necessity Of stopping To think
when one has not time to think.
The waitress is expected 70 be in
the dining room when The family
enter for the meal. She should be
ready to serve the first course as
soon as they are seated. If this
course is shcllGsh or grapefruit plates
containing it are set before each
guest. Two plates can be brought
at the same time if there are no
plates already on the table; if there
are. the waitress can bring only one
plate. for she must remove the empty
plate before she can set the other
down When the plates are all on the
