Special Gable 70 The American.


PARIS, June 1.-THE papers are
forever writing about the new
France" and telling of how our young
men have changed, but nobody seems
to have discovered that our young
women too have been transformed.
The young French girl of to-day is
indeed entirely different from the
timid. shy and coquettish maiden Of
a few years ago, who had nothing TO
do but to accept the husband her
parents picked out for her. She is
now asserting an independence, that
would have been shocking at the be-
ginning OF the century. and she has
become a great lover Of sport as her
American sisters.
Gets to Know Other Sex.
As a matter of fact it is her new
love of sport which has transformed
the French girl of to-day, for play
ing tennis and hockey she came into
free and easy contact with the OPP
posite sex and to her utter amaze
neither the demi- gods nor the utter
villains she had been taught in the
convent schools, and that a nearer
acquaintance robs them of much Of
their romantic glamor. The frank
comradeship which games make pos
sible is making her better able to
hold her own and to protect herself.
Yet the transformation of the
French young girl cannot be wholly
ascribed to sport. There has been
great universal awakening and as
the result our young girls are no
longer satisfied to sit at home pa
tiently waiting for their parents TO
catch a suitable husband but want 10
paddle their own canoes, marrying if
they meet the right man but doing
very well without a husband If they
remain single.
Formerly French society has look
ed down on girls who made their own
living, but no one thinks of doing
such a thing any more.
Independent and self-rellant though
our young women have grown, they
look with horror and disgust upon
their suffragette sisters in England
and II Miss Christabel Pankhurst re-
ceives female visitors at all in her
exile here, there are certainly no
French women among them and not a
single feminine voice will protest
when the Government shortly con-
Its he English champion of wom-
as rights across the frontier, which
am told will happen very soon.
The feminine population Of Paris
is firmly convinced that the English
suffragettes are monsters and to the
other Gtrocious crimes add that Of
wearing ugly clothes. Some Of our
worst freaks Of fashion in hats have
been named after them.
Nevertheless" Jules Claretie writes
in lie Temps. Il like the name 'suf-
fragette.' 1t sounds very pretty and
one seems to wear 1t on the ear like
the bonnet OF Mimi Pinson. Yet the
suffragette is the contrary Of the
grisette. She does not smile. she
fights. Instead of carrying lilies of
the valley in her hands she carries
a little bomb. God preserve us from
surfragettes II they are going TO at
tack men and animals as we'll as
buildings"
Rose Brides Crowned.
The villages and small provincial
towns of France are busy electing
and crowning their rose brides Of the

excursions TO witness this old cere-
mony.

Pretty Little Terrier Belongs to
All Queen Street and Real
ICES Responsibility.

There's dog out in West End that
has any automobile you ever saw beat
en- mile.
He's Bobby, an intelligent. handsome
terrier, and he balks at no labor that is
imposed on him.
1t is all labor of love for him. He
will serve as draft horse for the rolelr
skate kids without bark of complaint,
and is the good-natured chum of Queen
street children in any venture that they
may suggest. Bobby is a good fellow.
Try to pull tandem of hefty, healthy
kids on roller skates. Even if your
muscles are gnarled and knotty, you
will give it up as bad job in little
while. But Bobby doesn't. 1t is his
chief and greatest delight.
Belongs to Whole Street,
Nominally, Bobby belongs to the
Hancock family, at 81 Queen street.
But actually he is the pet and property
of all the neighborhood-a friend. play
mate and protector for every kid
around. The human being who has as
many loving chums as Bobby could run
for mayor even on an "old charter"
platform and be elected.
Bobby is not serious about his re-
sponsibility as protector. There is too
much fun in 1t for him. But now and
then, the little Hancock girls say. he
is serious when he so plainly wants to
cry because he is not boy or a girl,
after all. There are some joys that
even a beloved terrier misses.
Bobby desires to say that in some
former state of existence he was big
brother He just can't get accustomed
to this proposition Of being a dog. And
he has never been reconciled to his
present condition, even if he is one OF
the handsomest dogs to be seen around
all Atlanta.
Bobby has been with the kids Of his
neighborhood since he was an ugly,
awkward, timid, cute pup. You couldn't
imagine now that he had ever been of
such insigni1cance, for he really is a
lordly parsonage but his word and the
children's word must stand for the fact
that nc was a pup, once upon time,
And. being trained from infancy in
the ways OF real folks, Bobby can do
almost anything short Of catching be-
hind the bat. He can even, it is said,
pitch a curve after some fashion.
Dogs, or rather, "dawgs," are his pet
aversion. He is one Of the kids, ready
for anything that they want, and al
ways a chivarous protector. He bris-
ties up in manly fashion when strange
hounds come around, and no stranger,
however amiable and innocent, is safe
when he approaches the charges Of
Bobby.
1t is something to be the friend play
mate and protecting big brother of a
small army of young people and to be
loved. That is given not even to all
folks. much less TO all dogs.

Wanted to
Bar Vulgar Dances
At inaugural Ball

WASHINGTON, Jan. 17.-When the
house public buildings committee met
today TO hold a hearing on granting
the use of the pension office for the in
augural ball, Representative Rodden-
berry, OF Georgia offered an amendment
to the bin granting the permit which
would bar these dances at the ball:
The grizzly bear. the bunny hug, the
tenderloin movement, the turkey trot,
"contortions and all like vulgarisms of
the hoochecooche dance and all similar
forms of gymnastic. convulsive move
ments suggestive OF the degenerate
revelry of the segregated districts"
The sergeant alarms Of the house
and senate are given power to prohibit
these dances
Secretary OF the Interior Fisher tes-
tilted that the use Of che pension office
for the ball would cost the government
large sum of money and cripple the
work there. He suggested public
cciabrat ton at the capitol free of
charge.
Supervising Architect Wenderoth Of
the treasury said that the new bureau
of engraving and printing could be
used for the ball al an expense to the
government Of $4,000

The number of votes received by
Poincare on the ballot on which he was
elected was 4SS. Jules PANS was sec
ond, with 1926 votes The total vote cast
was ST..
Extraordinary military and police
precautions were taken to guard
against rioting over the result of the
election In addition to the gen.
darmie reserves stationed throughout
the city and suburbs, 5000 soldiers
were held at strategetic points to queIl
disturbances. Five thousand OF the
troops were infantrymen, the balance
cavalrymen.
Great excitement prevailed over
threats of the radical Socialists and
the Republican left, as the radical Re-
publicans are known, to cause turbu
lent demonstrations. The Socialists
seized every possible preteXt for trou-
Bile and they were bitter in denouncing
the elaborate menu for the luncheon to
the national assembly this afternoon
The menu consisted of horS d'oeuvres
franchises, ceufs poches du grand due

Of rare vintages and Havana cigars,

SCHIFF'S EX-VALET
GRANTED PARDON
BY N. Y. GOVERNOR

ALBANY, n. Y, Jan. 17.-Foulke E.
Brandt, sentenced to 80 years imprls-
onment for burglarizing the apartment
of his former employer Mortimer L.
Schiff, was pardoned by Governor Sui
ger upon Brandt's confession that he
had lied in his former statements in
volving the name of woman and upon
Brandts pledge that he would here
after lead an upright, Industrious life.
United States Senator Knute Nelson.
of Minneapolis, Immediately announced
that he would take Brandt to Wash
ington and then take him to Mime
apolis, where he would see that he was
given employment
Governor Sulzer In announcing the
PARDON this afternoon declared he had
no sympathy for Brandt, but that he
had reached the conclusion that the
sentence was excessive and that the
six years Brandt has served was suffi-
cient punishment for his crime.
The terms Of the pardon included
that Brandt should never go on the
stage, that he will not write a history
Of the affair and that statements he
made rejoicing on the character OF
those in the case will never be by him
discussed and that he should accom-
pany Senator Nelson to Minneapolis.
Brandt stood while the pardon clerk
read the pardon. Governor Sulzer then
said to Brandt:
Are you willing to go?"
Brandt replied. Il am, governor, and
thank you
Governor Suffers action today was
preceded by a petition presented by
Mirabeau l.. Towns. the lawyer who
asserted that he represented az Swed To-
ism societies in Greater New York with
a total of over 100000 members.

once appointed Aristide BRAND, the
minister of justice, and J.. L. Klotz,
minister of finance. to act as his sec

The incident between Poincare and
Clemenceau arose out of a letter sent
by the former premier to Poincare, the
contents of which were considered of
fensive by Poincare.
The premier promptly sent his two

INAUGURAL BALL
PLANS ALL OFF
Committee Cancels Big Social
Event to Comply With the
President-EIeCt'S Wishes.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 17-Yielding to
the wishes Of President elect Wilson,
William c. Eustis, chairman of the in
augural committee, today announced
that the inaugural ball. long tradi-
tlonal feature of Washington society in
connection with the Inauguration Of
presidents. had been called off.
Mr.. Wilson objected because of the
enormous expense of the ball, and be-
lieves that over $4,000 will be saved by
a cancellation Of the affair.
There will be no inaugural ball."
said Mr.. Eustis, after comforting with
defer to the wishes of the president
elect. The committee will act officially
as a body later"
The president elects request reached
Mr. Eustis by letter today.
Wilson's Letter.
Mr.. Wilson's letter follows:
my Dear Mr.. Eustis: After TAX
ing counsel with a great many per-
sons and assessing as well as l
could general opinion in the mat
ter, I've come to the conclusion
that 1t Is my duty to ask you to
consider the feasibility of emitting
the inaugural ball altogether.
81 do this with a great deal Of
hesitation, because l do not wish to
interfere with settled practices or
with reasonable expectations Of
those who usually go to enjoy the
Inauguration. but II has come to
wear the aspect of a sort of public
duty, because of the large indi-
rect expense upon the government
incidental to it, and because these
balls have ceased to be necessary
20 the enjoyment of the visitors.
II hope most sincerely that this
request will in no way embarrass
you and that / have not too long
delayed in making the suggestion.
with cordial regards, sincerely
yours, WOODROW WILSON"
Business Men Losers.
Business men, officials and society
were all up in the air here today by
President elect Wilson's announcement.
The business men are out of pocket
about $4,000. part Of which they ex-
pected to have refunded to them through
the sale of inaugural ball tickets.
Officials were opposed to changing a
custom which has prevailed since Madi-
sons time, and society is angry because
it will not get chance to see and be
seen a the big social event of March 4.

$4,000 for New
Fire Engine House.

The committee voted SIS, OOo for lot
and fire engine house for the Eighth
ward. It voted 81, 900 for lot for r.
fire engine house for the First ward.
To purchase automobiles for the two
assistant fire chiefs $500 was voted.
Mayor Woodward declared that all
city automobiles should be painted
bright red with the city's name ON
them.
we viii save enough q year to buy
a new automobile by stopping the pri-
vate use of city machines" he declared.
The committee agreed to his plan.
The committee declined all salary
raises so far considered except those
already provided by council.
Council has fixed the salary of the
custodian, the place held by J. M.
Shearer, at 1900, but the members of
the committee agreed that this was too
much. 1t was suggested that a way to
reduce the salary would be to abolish
the job, and the committee took this
plan under consideration.
1t was stated to the committee thar
the f. ia, collectors in the marshaps of.
flee make about 81, 700 each year The
fee for the collection of a Fl. ia. was ac-
cordingly reduced from 70 cents to 60
cents. This change will net the CITY
about $500, the 75-cent fee still being
charged to the taxpayer.
The position Of veterinarian to the
fire department, which pays 81 $50. was
abolished and contract with a local
to attend the horses Of the
department for $3.50 year adopted.
The committee voted $3.50 to enlarge
the city clerks office, which is badly
overcrowded at present.
