VERY SPOILED
"But the American Men Are So
Fine" Nine, RueIIe, French
Commissioner, Added.
BY JONATHAN WINFIELD.

| WASHINGTON Feb. 1.-THE
American man has a warm admirer
IN Nine. de la Ruelle, of Paris, a
Government inspector of labor in the
Paris district, who arrived in Wash
ington recently. She is making
tour of the United States at the di-
rection Of the French Government
She will visit schools and factories
for the purpose of studying our meth
DDS of vocational training
Commenting on a number of diff
/ terencas between the French and
American people as she found them,
Nine. de la Ruelle said:
Every woman must. necessarily
love America, because woman are so
respected here, and the American man
is so fine. 1t is said, of course. that
american men have not the time to
be gallant 10 women, but your true
woman knows what that remark is
worth, for she knows the depth of
| the American man, and realizes that
what you call 'varnish' amounts to
very little. after all

| other visitor has remarked-an un-

10 a great extent, your women are
| spoiled
Publicity Spoiis Women.
Nine. de la Ruelle does not approve
of our custom of printing pictures of
Young women about to become debu-
tahtes and Of matrons already in So
clety She thinks it helps to spoil
them. over in her country, she de-
! clared, nice woman has no more
story after marriage 1t is her hus-
oand who is spoken Of, and whose
picture is in the papers
With us she continued. "a girl
marrtes before 20 and she has had 10
story There is nothing to put in
the paper about either class. l think
| that this. advertising of women is use
Jess, and I am sure ii spoils them
and makes them seen to he more i'm
portant than they really are"
Nine. de la Ruelle, who enjoys the
distinction of being one of the few
woman attorneys OF France. al
though her duties as labor inspector
prevent her from practicing her pro-
tession, is not likely to praise our
factory system in her report to her
Government
In factories, you see" she said,
you do not teach children as much
as we do and in some respects | do
not think you do in the homes. SO
tar $ the factories are concerned.
your industries are more mechanical
tnan ours We make an important
point of teaching children dress
making, millinery and the domestic
arts. particularly cooking.
Bread Is Not Coed.
on Know We are mora rtf ~,
lTrance than you are over here You
| are so to speak, in the beginning of
nome economics. You must learn. |
thlnk, how not to waste so much and
! to make better food. Your food is
| not all pure. For instance, your bread
Is not good. l have gathered the i'm
| preston that your bread is made only
| win starch, and that the gluten has
been taken out to make cereals.
! In France, even among our chill
dren, our sense Of taste is quite
strong. 1t is by the sense of taste
J that | gather the impression | men
ton. | should say that it is wrong to
give the children of a nation the sort
Of bread that l have tasted and eaten
here"
At this point Nine. de la Ruelle re-
called the American homes in which
she mad been entertained, and she be-
| san ~ question the prOprletY of 60
ing into details concerning the bread
she had eaten there SO she talked
OF the bread in the restaurants.
1t seems to be useless for travel
ers to come here to this great country
and at once have something 10 say
about 1t am not sure it is courte-
Gus. and that I will not be misunder-
stood
Eat Horse Meat.
In Paris" she went on. there is
only one place in the big markets
where cold storage meats are sold.
And there is a big prominent sign 10
over that to indicate the fact. ONLY
ne cheap restaurants i'm Paris buy
the cold storage meats. The working
classes prefer fresh horse meat to
cold storage beef and they declare il
IS much more wholesome A horse is
hurt in Paris; there has been an ac-
cident perhaps, and the animal is
Immediately killed and the flesh sold,
mat meat is very good really"
Nine. de la Ruelle Will return TO
france IN March, She believes there
are some methods in use in the Unit
ed States, especially among the big
Industrial plants, which would prove
useful in her country She declares
that American Industries are much
better organized than those of
| France.
