Washington. March Now that the
smoke of battle is clearing away and the
thousands assembled at the national cap
tai have seen the same police force keep
| perfect order on Inauguration day which
permitted chaos during the woman 8
parade the preceding day. the educational
effect OF this paradox comes out in
startling relief. The crowds were many
times multiplied on Tuesday; the parade
was many hours longer in passing, but
not one onlooker ventured beyond the
curb, and the entire width OF the avenue
belonged to the marchers. On Monday
| the crowd disputed the space on a single
car track with the women Of the nation,
and the police allowed them to do it.
Probably never as many suffraglsts
among both men and women were made
in one day as on last Monday, when that
! procession of thousands of the country 5
representative women were literally
mobbed in the streets of Washington. The

The Jeune File

The advent Of the tea shop in Paris mas
had consequences undreamed of by the
people who, in spite Of all pessimistic
warnings ventured their capital 10 start
a thing hitherto unknown in France. says
the Paris correspondent II THE Pail Mall
Gazette"
Parisiennes did not lake tea: never
would take tea. Why, then, should they
patronize tea shop? Such was the al
most universal opinion OF those who
watched the opening of one OF the first
tea shops near the Madeleine. But Paris
to-day boasts hundreds ~ such establish
ments, and their success is due not 50
much TO the fact that the Parisienne has
learned 10 drink tea ss 10 their social
attraction. Young girls Who had hitherto
never been allowed TO let go their mothers
skirts were given permission 10 entertain
their friends at tea in a harmless tea
shop.
Tho tea shop habit mas grown until II
has become a fever. Enter any one OF
these establishments near the Madeleine.
You will find them full of young people,
teen who indulge in little firtations and
giggles over the teacups and cakes. So
great mas been the influence OF the tea
shop that lowing TO this and certain SINH
lar causes) the 'jeune file Of one class
in Paris has undergone great change Of
late years. Her existence, which but
short time ago consisted OF following her
mother to the shops or on round OF
calls has now become a whirl OF skating
Kinks. tea shops and conferences; and
Paris to-day is q little rueful NJ the start

d'hui."
French people are inclined iather I'M
Justly, to attribute this change 20 English
influence. The tea shop came from Eng
land. Il is true, as also did the example OF
freedom for young girls; bat the French
girl has accepted the freedom without

loved by the English girl OF to-day She
plsys q certain amount Of tennis, but

Thus II Is that the "jeune FILE" is spend
ing a good deal OF time unproftably, and
is not storing up any valuable fund of
phvslcal strength. 1t 70 universally recog-
nized. however. that she can no longer
play the minor part that has hitherto been
hers In everyday life In France. The
youth of France is awake, and the prob
lem is not to repress but to direct its
energy. To tempt this activity INTO paths
OF priceless value several leagues have
been formed.

HOW TO BE "SMART"
THOUGH MIDDLE AGED
An Observing Clubwoman Drops Some Hints
That May Be Of Value to the Woman Who
Is Past Her Youth.

Middle aged and elderly women may
be said to be divided into three classes,
the freak. the smart. up-to-date woman
ard the dowdy," said an observing club
woman, but the worst OF these is the
dowdy A word or two first about the
first mentioned types.
The freak type is easily recognized. 1t
Ia represented by a woman from fifty up
ward, wearing bought complexion, hat
suitable for girl in her teens almost en-
tirely concealing thin. grayish hair: a
short. very skinny skirt. thin stockings
and extremely high French heels; a
swagger, shapeless coat, or, by way OF q
change. enormous furs, giving the wearer
the silhouette Of a peg top. Nor does she
stop at aping juvenile styles. She adopts
the most glerIng colors as well. II green
is the popular color, then the freak insists
upon wearing the most vivid shade OBJ
tainable. When brocades are the fashion
the largest designs and the brightest
colors are chosen, utterly regardless as
to the question Of their becomingness.
I'VE all know her. and We also know
that volumes Of advice may he offered
her without the slightest chance Of any
result. So We just smile and pass on.
The smart. up-to-date woman 10, fortu-
nately for others, in the majority. There
are few more attractive sights than the
we'll grOOmed. well set up woman of fifty
and over. The up-to-dat woman is hrst
OF all appropriately gowned, then she is
fashionably but above all becomingly
gowned. When new style is launched
she studies it thoroughly, then takes
stock Of her own personality and, If she
finds 1t will be becoming, adopts II. II
not then she mobiles the model as she
considers necessary to suit individual
needs. She never goes TO extremes, ne-
ther does she fall behind the times.
III vivid colors are worn she does not
challenge comparison with her own faded
charms by wearing them, but chooses in
stead the fashionable shades ia dull, soft
tones which will harmonize-not cruelty
contrast-with skin. hair and eyes. Thus
she lie never conspicuous. She recognizes
also the Importance Of q stylish couture
The third type. and the most tragic,
is the frankly dowdy. She is almost as
much blot as the freak and far more
to blame, because the freak believes she
is making the very best OF herself, while
the dowdy is utterly neglecting this most
important duty.
The dowdy believes in good clothes
OF course. Indeed. her yearly expenditure
for dress may exceed the sum spent by
her smart sister. Her first considera ton

plenty Of trimming. Then she chooses

| terials to the best advantage, without
the slightest regard to her individual
| needs. The question OF line never enters
her head
The only stipulation she makes IL that
the style shall not be too new. She pre-
fers TO wait while. she says, until she
gets used to it, Then. by the time sh6
decides to adopt it she is, of courset
dressed away behind the times
She is particularly obstinate In tho
matter Of millinery. She usually insists
upon wearing the same shape, year after
, year. regardless Of the fact that she. toos
is changing as we'll as the styles. Tha
shape always suited her, she argues. bug
she has failed to notice locks have growu
scantier and the contour OF the face has
| changed until the bit Of millinery so beSI
coming to her years ago makes her looA
| like a fright to-day. 1
ITO ask her to change the mode 90
dressing her hair brings forth the create
est pTotestations. Out-of-date neckwear
is another earmark of the trump WheH
| dainty lace collars or smart looking
stocks are worn, she sticks TO ruchne.
Her footwear is apt 10 be sloppy, ratheH
| than trim and trig looking, and white
gloves she looks upon as the greatest exc
| travaRance.
She favors gray. mode or black, DUG
without any regard as 10 the color OF thai
costume she is wearing. In fact. her Ideal
is that just as long as she wears gocd

But never was there a greater mis-

make the very best Of her possiDiliucs
and never before was the task madet
easier for the middle aged and elderly
woman. If she will not dress for herselrs
she might at least consider her husbanfl
or her children. Is the dowdy the KING
of woman the man of to-day feels prou1
Of and likes TO take out with him?
"Then there is the duty Of the motheN
