French Woman Writers Discuss
: Case of Nine. Bloch.
Six to TWO Against Woman Who Shot
Her Rival-various Opinions
on Crimes of Passion and
Literature.

Paris-Some French woman au-
thors have been giving their views on
the right of their sex to kill. Their
opinions are based on the case OF
Nine. Bloch, who wrote books signed
with the name of Frederic de Beau
lien and who shot and killed Mrs.
Bridgeman, who had won M. Bloch's
affections From the prison Nine.
Bloch announced that she had re-
ceived "innumerable letters Of con-
graduation" and that many of them
came from her sister authors. The
suggestion that woman writer's sym
pathized with Nine. Bloch's act moved
LIE Miroir to make an inquiry. OF the
eight women of letters who gave their
opinion only two supported Nine.
Bloch's action. The first of this mi
nority, Nine Marie de Vovet, writes:
although murder inspired by jeal-
ousy is reproved by all in principle,
nothing is more difficult to Judge in
the various forms 1t may take. The
best thing, 1t seems to me, Is to treat
it with charity, thinking that before q
woman's hand could seize a weapon
there must have been suffering enough
to constitute presumptive expiration.
Nine. Aurel. the other supporter OF
Nine. Bloch, writes: IF rival h@d
dared to set me at defiance believe
that should have done as Nine
Bloch did. 1t Is none the less mis-
fortune"
AS for the six woman writer's who
condemn Nine. Bloch's crime, more
than one finds that desire for self
advertisement, a feeling that the &C
ton would boom her books, had some
influence on her mind. Nine. Daniel
Lesuer, the best known writer OF the
eight quoted. says:
Il hold that he who kills ought to
accept death; otherwise he Is the
most cowardly of beings. On this con
dition only can vengeance to death
be clothed with any grandeur"
Nine. Jeanne Landre would have q
law passed that. except IN cases Of
self defense. no acquittal should be
allowed when death has been caused

NEW FEATURE In MILLINERY
Summary of Points About the Styles
That It VIII Be Well to Keep
Always In Mind.

To sum up this seasons new mil
hnery features, we want to remember
that the head sizes are large; that the
hats set well down on the head; that
the crowns are moderately high; that
the tailored hats are small, the dress
hats large; that everywhere there is
irregularity of brim and crown; and
that the smartest hats have but lit
tie trimming and are in combination
effect.
A buckle, for example, covered with
fur will give smart touch to a. vel
vet or satin hat, and just think how
little fur is needed. A few scraps of
satin can be shaped into wings and fin
ished with an embroidery stitch, and
thus make new style trimming for
a last years hat. And then, too, the
idea of having the crown and brim of
the hat of contrasting materials is
helpful to the woman who wishes to
remodel the hat she. wore last year.

The Time TO Advertise,

The time to advertise Is all the
time. but the advertising should vary
with the seasons. Advertising per
forms a double function. 1t helps the
merchant to move larger quantities
and so enables him to buy at better
advantage than he could do without
advertising. It enables the customer
to study the stock In advance. She
compares her wants and her purse
with the goods advertised, and she
goes to the store knowing what she
wants, consequently shopping is "a
cilitated, and the days business IA
more satisfactory to all concerned

WANTS SERVICE FOR MONEY
Man Who Pays Advertising Bills No
Longer XooIed by Gross Figures
on Circulation.

Advertisers who have so long sub
hitted to being bilked and buncoed
by the magazines are beginning to
learn wisdom. In the months OF
June, 1912, nine magazines lost an ag-
gregate of 22,735 lines, as compared
with the same month in 1911. The
loss in June 1911. followed a great
loss in the same month In 1910, and
there is reason to hope that by 1915
a good many of these fake publica-
lions will be put entirely out of bust
ness. The magazine of the present
Gay is seldom read by intelligent
people. 1t makes its appeal to the
mediocre man-and even he Is get
ting tired of it. There is just cheap
literature enough In it to enable 1t
to squirm through the mail. the OBJ
feet being to hold up gullible adver-
Using public at minimum of ex-
pense.
The more alert advertisers are be-
ginning to discriminate, and are not
being fooled so much by gross figures
of circulation, but are asking about
the quality of circulation as well, and
quality includes accessibility Of read
ers to the advertiser or seller, and
distribution in territory or territories
that provide a good market for the
advertisers wares, under the circum-
stances then controlling his business.
The advertising agent, the one plac-
ing the advertising. has been under
temptation to select gross circulation
as offering the least labor and inves-
tigation on his part; but the man be-
hind the guns, who pays the bills, is
beginning to exact from his repre-
sentative, who spends his money, real
service for the pay he receives.

HAS RIGHT TO KILL?

Nine. Rachilde argues that Ito COM
NIT the crime which was the motive of
the second crime required two peo-
ple;" then why kill the woman and
spare the man? Because she loved her
husband, the father Of her children?
If that was SO she ought to have for

A true lover of letters would have had

Of passion. She says:
"A person who pretends to be acting
without consciousness Of what he is

ness is a much, greater social danger
than conscious criminal. and as an
individual much more Insignificant"
Nine. Andree Corthis Is unhesitat-

dignity, love that thrusts itself upon

Newspaper advertising is a pre-

that is done after you get the people
who respond inside your place of bust
ness It is very necessary and very
valuable preliminary. Without 1t the
number of people who come to your
place of business would be very much
less.
But you have got to help If you
want to get one hundred per cent.
results from your advertising. You
have got to give the public just what
your advertising leads the public to
expect.
P. T. Barnum, so ] am told, never

ADVERTISING ON T0MBsT0NEs
Tributes Paid to the Departed for
Purposes of Gain for the
Living.

There are some people who try to
make money out of anything. as the
inscriptions on some tombstones bear
witness. says London Tit-Bits. Al
though tombstone epitaphs are fire.
quently censored by the authorities,
good many have been passed that
are more in the nature of puffs for the
living than tributes to the dead.
The widow of a man who died some
years ago arranged for the following
inscription to be placed over the grave
of her husband:
Here lies -, dear departed
husband of - -, who now car
ries on his business of general OUTFIT
ter, and always gives good value.
Terms cash."
That is tombstone advertising with
vengeance, and it is not an isolated
case. 1t has been recorded OF GER
tain shop keeper that he had his grave
dug and the tombstone placed above
it some years before his death. The
tombstone was nothing less than an
advertisement of his business, for the
inscription ran: Here lies John Elmer
son, the best halter in the state OF
Ohio" The tombstone, after raising
some discussion, was eventually pass
ed by the authorities.
A Canadian firm went one better
even than this. The head of the firm
in question died, and over his grave
was inscribed on the tombstone:
Here lies Abraham Stokes. founder
of the firm of Stokes & Company, who
for many years have manufactured
pickles and bottled fruits. Best OF all
and without rival"
The tombstone censors sometimes
refuse permission for epitaphs OF this
description to be raised over the
graves of the dead. The widow OF
well known patent medicine manufac-
turer. who wished to erect a tomb
stonG bearing detailed account of her
late husbands discovery Of the patent
medicine In question, found that the
authorities were obdurate in not allow
ing the inscription to appear. Finally
she abandoned the idea of advertising
the business and erected a more suit
able memorial In which no meQtion
was made of the commercial life OF the
dear departed.
