Robespierre Is said to have lived, or,

Of the past in the general scheme for

This handsomely fronted building Is
situated in the Cite du Retro, an an

leine and the Fauboprg Saint Honore,
which was overlooked when this quar-
ter was brought up 70 date. The ten
ants of the prince OF Monaco, to whom
the district belongs, have been given
notice, but the demolition probably
will be postponed for few years, ow-

The capital will soon be very much

The Etiquette of Weddings

INF ALL things that must ne nc
" complished according to set Gus
toms wedding requires the closest
following of accepted rules. In order
that the celebration of the ceremony
and all the Incidental events may
move smoothly and successfully, mi
mute attention must be given 10 all the
details Of preparation for the occasion,
from the assembling of the wedding
party to the departure of the bridal
pair on their honeymoon. Leaving
out the matter of the trousseau-which
is separate affair-there are many
other things that must be considered
and adjusted.
To begin at the beginning-there
are the invitations. At least three
weeks and even month before the
day of the ceremony, these are TO be
sent out to lists Of names which In
clude those furnished by the groom
whose mother or sister assists in max
ing up his list. The brides parents
furnish the invitations and announce
ments and the latter are to be mailed

tive or close friends are to be over

excavations with front of masonry.
Others are complete houses on a slop-
ing talus, with excavated rooms at the
back.
In the Hovenweep region on both
sides of the Colorado-Uta tab line and
between Mesa Verde and Zion-this
area is likely to be established as the
Hovenweep National monument-are
many remarkable towers of varying
shape. The Psychologists consider
them among the most interesting and
important of the prehistoric relics.
Casa Grande National monument in
the ella valley Of south central Ari-
IONA contains Casa Grande-Great
House-which was discovered in 1907
burned-out, dismantled group Of walls.
1t was plastered within and without.
1t was probably the last Of an indef-
mite number of such houses, as all
around it are the ruins of older struc-
lures.
Excavation in this prehistoric South
west is only beginning. The results
have attracted the attention of archie
ologists the world over. Possibly the
most important work to date is that
of DR.. j. Walter Fewkes OF the Smith
sonian institution in Mesa Verde.
There he has excavated and restored
in part the temple Of the sun and Far
View house. These are large and pre-
tentious structures on the mesa above
the cliff-dwellings. They are appar-
emily buildings for religious ceremoni-
ais. 1t is guessed that they were aban-
doned about 1900 years ago.
The Psychologists are confident that
sooner or later they will find some
thing that will answer one or more OF
the three great questions about this
mysterious people of the American
Southwest. VIII they find 1t some such
ruin as Casa Grande beneath the dust
OF centuries or will it come to light
In some cllff-dwelling now unknown
and untouched by vandal hands, such

THE two very attractive afternoon

TO admiration in the picture above,
employ the two most favored silk fab
RIGS, georgette and taffeta, and each
makes the most of this advantageous
start. In spite of the disparity in
these materials the two frocks have
several features in common; both are
made with a tunic, both achieve the
widened hip lines which fashion en-
courages, and both show the bodice
extended over the waistline at the
front, forming a straight-line girdle-

Parks Are Parks.

1t would seem that Congress would recognize
the simple fact that a national park is national
park Cities have reached the time when this fact
has become fixed principle expressed in the two
words "hands off"
There is. no park anywhere that could not be
used very proftably by private enterprise and re-
turn revenue to the owning city. This might be
done at a sacrifice of only part, or often at a
sacrifice merely of beauty and that intangible bene
mt to the public found in complete possession and
freedom from all encroachments
There has been a long fight to prevent such
encroachments in many cities. There has been
constant effort to break the pubic's monopoly of
its parks not alone by private enterprise, but by
public agencies seeking location at little or no
cost, for their activities.
But at last the fact that park is a park and
nothing else that so it is given in any part
to anything else, it ceases to be a park is univer-
sally recognized by cities 1t should be by Congress
If this was so, it would be useless for anyone
to attempt to get from Congress the right to ntrude
IN any way upon national park property. There
would not have been the present bill now before
the House and passed by the Senate to dam the
Yellowstone River and use its waters.
If its waters are essential and can be made
so profitable to private enterprise, they can be dam
med and used outside the park boundaries. To
build dam inside, even if it did not food any
lands-which is impossible that is the why of
every dam-stil it would not belong there and
permission to build should not be considered
request for such privilege is in itself cause
for suspicion. Why select this, particular river at
that particular spot? Why not go outside the park?
Why be SO insistent upon this projects There
is no lack of land to be irrigated and no lack of
waters available for such uses
The House should in this case FIX once and for
all the rule that national park is national park
dedicated forever to this use and no other. 1t
should give notice that not or ever will Con-
gress consider request for any private privilege
within park boundaries, not distinctly part of
park uses. By SO doing it will save itself lot of
future bother

His Day in Court.

The New York World sometimes allows its
prejudiced partisanship to give peculiar quirk
to its opinions 1t compares the pledges of Article
X of the league of nations covenant with the Root
court carrying compulsory jurisdiction, intimating
that the court is supergovernment and Article X
is but advisory.
Article X is direct pledge By it the members
OF the league undertake not only to respect" but
TO preserve the territorial integrity and existing
political independence" of their fellow members.
As President Wilson truly said this carries moral
obligation more binding than legal obligation
In place of this, Mr.. Roots proposal is an in
ternational court with compulsory Jurisdiction Be-
tween this and Article there is first of all that
difference between moral and legal obligation,
with the latter ascertaned by court action with
all the rights this carries.
1t is supreme stupidity which does not see this
1t is travelling long ways along the road of
imagination to regard submission to court action,
surrender of sovereignty other than such sur
render necessarily in all social associa-
ton and intercourse
To have ones day in court is not SO much
surrender of individual rights confirming and
establishing those rights 1t is the fundamental Of
democratic equality and fair dealing.
1t is just this, also, internationally, with modern
systems Of intercommunication, of trade commerce,
and other forms of intercourse nations have reached
the personal and intimate touch of individuals 1iv-
ing under the same government. =
What courts do and have done for individuals,
they can and will do for the worlds population of
individual nations now so closely bound that what
affects one, inevitably affects all, and what one does
just surely reacts upon all. -
Neighbors may well refuse to take club and
go out to preserve the boundaries of the property
and the political rights of their neighbors, but

guide public opinion to accept or. reject plan or
method These unwarranted statements as to what
Mr.. Harding will do or not do, are colored to suit
the will or wishes of the one making them
: For example, it is said Mr.. Harding will, as
soon as he takes Office send for the representatives
of the great powers. to come to Washington. He
will then lay before them his scheme for entirely
new Association of nations.
This will be sort of maverick running wild,
a cross between an alliance and an international
court These great powers are to agree not to go
to war, which would be easy none of them can
under present conditions.
The little nations would still be free to follow
their own sweet wayward will There would be a
court but how formed, how acknowledged, how
administered, with what jurisdiction, is of course
immaterial These things are but incidents.
Mr. Harding has given no indications as yet of
being foolish, and these plans which he is to an
nounce on March 4 or or can be fairly ac-
cepted as the whispered revelations of those who
have failed to adapt themselves to the school
of politics.
They still think only in terms of intrigue They
work through insinuation. They play the strings
of suspicion and gulbility. They revel in the mys-
terious.
