WANTS TWO CODES OF
NORRIS FOR women
One When She is Young, OH
er When Old

Boston, Jan. 3.-Mme. Georgette Lee
blanc Maeterlinck, who has come from
Paris to Boston, believes that woman
should have two codes of morals-onc
for youth and one for old age.
Let a woman live her life with j".
while size is young" she says. "Lct
her see happiness. Let her live her life
in her own way. tell her to be good
perhaps she won't be happy if she 10
lust let a woman be herself. When she
is older then let her be very dignifed,
do god works and all the rest. It's
simple, c'est pes.
Il think that by the great public
the woman who j. neither bad nor
good, but both, is the best lovedand
understood J." she added The people
appreciate this woman; they know her
The totally bad woman is abnormal
the totally good woman also, but the
woman who hovers between good and
evil-she fascinates.
Man loves the helpless woman; HI
loves the woman who yields to the in
fluences that surround her, for she il
human. Man loves the woman who is
not a foot rule, who is not a statue
man forgiyes and forgets.
"Woman-what study. l am {
woman myself and l know. 1t ism
the average woman who is happiest il
life"

PHIL L'ENGLE LEADS
VICTORIOUSATTACK
ON "POSSUMVILLE'

Phil L'Engle, three dead possums and
two live ones Cones" meaning possums)
last night entertained party of friends
at the Brookhaven Country club The
friends today say they will recover. The
possums, having been digested for sew
eral hours, were unable to make a
statement.
The pursuit OF possums being, at best
problematical and the pursuers being
persons from the frigid North, who had
cleaned their knowledge Of the beast
from dictionary and the Bronx zoo,
Mr.. LEngle had the forethought to
have three fat, succulent roamers OF
the woods, caught, slain, cooked and
ready to serve with appropriate ac-
compartment.
They liked the samples so well that
they were willing to venture into the
wilds Of Brookhaven after more of the
same brand
The Brookhaven pack of hound dogs
led the attack on the wild woods. They
proved as competent attackers as the
Bulgars and the Serbs. Two possums
bit the dust and six hounds bit the pos
sums, making the affair pleasant for
pups, persons and-no statement could
be obtained from the possums.

Messrs. A c. Briscoe and L. W. Ar

today.
These men. OF long experience in the

best systems in existence and their
everlasting insistence upon thorough

Southern's Popularity Grows.
Their policy has made the Southern

But now this well known school of

because the system of shorthand it
teaches Graham Pitmanic) has been
recommended above all others by a
committee appointed by the National
Shorthand Reporters Association of
America TO investigate the various sys-
TENS
The following report Is copied from
the bulletin just received by the South
ern and will be of great interest to the
shorthand writer's as we'll as to those
who expect to engage in this profess
sion:
when in 1911 the National Short
hand Reporters Association gave to a
different uses made of all the shorthand
material by the writer's of the various
systems in order to find out exactly the
best use of that material, 1t was inter
ested not in opinions, but only in facts.
LAS a result Of It's investigation, this
Committee. on August 81, 1912, made
to the National Shorthand Reporters
Association seven recommendations as
to the best use of shorthand principles
to secure the utmost efficiency in pres
entday shorthand reporting.
Victory For Graham Shorthand.
These recommendations were the
writing Of
"G) The entire consonant alphabet as
used by Graham;
"(2) All small initial hooks as used
by Graham
"(8) All large initial hooks as used
by Graham
"(D All large final hooks as used by
Graham;
"(5) The Ef-hook on curves as used
by Graham
"(6) All words containing w or ~
as written by Graham;
"C) The N hook on heightened
strokes as used by Isaac Pitman, in ad
dition to the Graham use of the same
material.
