WOMEN LAWYERS IN THE PRO-
 VINCE OF QUEBEC
Canadian Judge Holds That to Admit Woman to Practice Law Would be Direct Infringe ment upon Public Order and Manifest Vio1- alton of the Law of Good Morals.

In the province of Quebec quite differ views are held on the subject of women lawyers from those which largely prevail ill this country as is shown by recent ruling from the bench in Montreal. It was held that to admit a woman to prac- tice law would be "a manifest violation of the law of good morals and public de- cency,' and that it would further be "a direct infringement upon public order"
 As reported ill the Montreal Star, h e case came up on the petition of Mrs. Annie Langstaff that the bar of the pro- her to the exhmlnations required pre- liminary to her becoming duly enrolled as a student at law. Mrs Langstaff is a Bachelor of Civil Law of McGill Univer- sity and is employed in the law office of $. w, Jacobs, Kings Counsel of Mon- treal, The Bar Association strongly op- posed the granting of her petition, the first made by woman. The Star quotes Justice St. Pierre, who passed oil the petition, in part as follows:
 l am not legislator but Judge, and the queotio submitted to me is not whether it should be more fair and reas- enable that women should be placed on a footing of equality with men and allowed to become members of the legal

Christmas Decorations.
By FRANCES MARSHALL

1t is time to decorate the house for
Christmas. And the whole house should
be decorated. too, to give the. true
Christmas look 70 things. So make
a plan of decoration that takes in the
whole house and then set about carry
ing it out.
Green and red are the accepted
Christmas colors. and they can be COM
bined or used separately with white.
Perhaps. there is nothing lovelier than
Christmas greens against a white
background. Festoons OF greens
against white curtains and draped
around the dining-room table on Christ
mas day give a sparkling beauty that
nothing else gives-suggesting white
Christmas snow and evergreen trees
Red, of course, is always beautiful
And SO red crepe paper can be used in
many effective decorative schemes. Red
crepe paper poinsettias can be made
quite easily to stick among the Christ
mas greens. And there are red bells
that car be bought to hang from door
ways. red stars for the windows. and
red table favors for. the Christmas day
meals.
The old custom, Of putting a candle
in each window on Christmas Eve is a
lovely one that has recently been re-
vived, and whether or. not you observe

changes in management are fore
shadowed. A serious or tragic drama
will make a great success.
Again the assassination Of a prom

been foretold for many months and
may be near at hand.
Insanity will increase at an alarm
ing rate. the seers predict. and eccen-
tricities Of all sorts will be empha-

world in the travels OF war.
Persons whose birthdate 1t is should
not speculate or lend money. They will
travel or make changes with great
success.
Children born on this day may be
restless and lacking in concentration.
They probably will succeed best when
employed. These subjects of Sagit-

FAMOUS WOMAN, HER p
BIRTHDAY AND YOURS
December 20-Marie Anxouleme.
By NARY MARSHALL

Marie Therese Charlotte, duchess of
Angouleme. is one of the most pathetic
figures in modern history.
She was born on December 20. ITS. into
the gay French court ruled over by her
young father. Louis XVI. and her moth
er. Marie Antoinette. Her birth was the
occasion OF much happiness to her par
ents and the court. for she was the first
child OF the king and queen.
But her happiness was short lived, for
there were already rumblings Of discon-
tent throughout France by the time she
could talk, and when she was Is her
mother and father were killed at the
Guillotine by the revolutionists. and her
only brother. Louis XVII, was separated
from her. His fate has never been de-
termined. and his sister was as much in
ignorance Of 1t as the world at large.
With youthful memories of imprison-
ment. the revolution and the guillotine,
Marie could not have been a very happy
young princess Moreover, she was kept
in prison for three years after her father
and mother were killed-from which fact
she gained the name the "orphan Of the
temple" and during all that time she
was not told Of the death of her parents,
but hoped against hope that they. TOO.
were still imprisoned.
She was married. in 1199. at the age Of
q, to Louis. Duke OF Angouleme. her
cousin, the son Of Charles Y. and she
lived until 1851. She published her
memoirs and recollections Of her impris-
apment 60, ,..,

COUNTY AND NEARBY

Robert G. Owen, a retired business
man of Dodgeville, and for so years
a prominent citizen of that little city,
died at his home on Thursday, March
Is. He was a jewelry merchant in
his home town for 5 years. He re-
tired from business in 1906, and
since then has been an extensive
traveller.
Dodgeville papers claim that their
town, while half as big as Mineral
Point, has $4,000 more money in
their banks than have the banks of
the older city. And the Dodgeville
papers claim the difference is due to
the presence of booze in Mineral
Point.
Highland also had a no-license
campaign this spring. That is about
the limit, a no-license campaign in
Highland. But it never did such a
thing before.
J. B. Logue was reelected county
superintendent of schools in Richland
county without opposition. He has
held the position four years.
Charles E. Settler, Woodstock,
RichIand county, and Miss Francs
A. Smith were recently married at
the Richland county home of the
groom's parents. The home of the
bride was in Granton, Clark county,
but she was in Richland for the
winter. The groom is cheese maker
and owns factory at Highland,
where the happy couple now are.
