BITTER WAR" IS NOW ENDED

Special Cablc TO he wsshinston Herald.
Paris, MAY 3o.-The bitter war for the
supreme social leadership Of Paris, which
has been waged between the noble fam
lilies of De Broglie and De Gramont. has
ended in a sweeping triumph for the De
Brogiies.
A month or so ago the most exclusive
hostesses by common accord felt the need
OF some extraordinary excitement to stir
the fancy of society folk. and 1t natur-
ally fell to the Duchess de Gramont and
the Princess Jacques de Broglie whose
princely entertainments are traditional.
to evolve some novelty which would as
sure one Of them q paramount place this
season In the purely French society set.

guests was that they must attend de-
Gently clad.
This week. however. the Princess JAG
ques de Broglie announced q Jewel
Ball." which she plans to give next
month in her splendid mansion In the
Avenue de Messine.
While men may attend clad merely in
evening dress or riding habit, women
must come in dresses matching the pre-
cious stones they wear.
Thus a woman with rubies will be
forced to wear a ruby-colored gown and
wig. With pearls an ordinary powdered
wig must go with a pearl-colored evening
gown and the same with sapphires, EN-
eralds and diamonds.
More than 500 women will attend the
Jewel Ball." which will decide once and
for all the question Of which Jewel Is
most popular among Paris women.

The greatest Of modern sociologists has

jects. the American woman abroad. here
tofore avoided by European writer's.
Paris. May 3o-Ever since Dumas wrote
''The Foreigner" American men have
figured innumerable times in European
plays, but you look vainly for the por-
trayai of the American woman in Euro
pean literature. She never inspires our
novellsts or playwrights who pass her by
with indifference.
Yet she is everywhere among us; she n
found where life Is costly and where
fashions slaves foregathee
She does not conceal her liking for Eu-
ropeans, yet she is never q welcome guest

She Ia queen OF the Rue de Ia Paix and

herself from elegant European women by

Musicians and painters court her, but
independent people who do not expect

attracted to her.
American Woman LacIzs Culture.
She never succeeds in forming an intel
iectuai circle round her. nor does she
play any role in society except that Of

at her feet the gold he extorts from the

expects her to minister completely to his
pleasure, 30 their union is limited to the
domain Of senses and vanity.

Sometimes she feels vaguely that life
consists Of something besides diamonds,
dresses, and balls with cake-wafks and
turkey-trots. She becomes unsrateful to
the man who has raised her above HIM

No wonder novelists and playwrights
are not interested in her. How ID she to
improve? She moves in q vicious circle.
She atrophied her head and heart be-
cause American men expect nothing more
fruitful from her, and the reason Of this
is that she has never shown to him the
beauty. nobility and saintliness of life
that In devoted to q superior ideal.
Sovereign woman, the vassal Of man,
