Maidens of Paris
Deluged in Pearls,
La Figaro Claims
OBy Universal Service.)

Paris, Oct. 16.-Pearls should go
out of fashion. says the Paris FL
garo, for they are so plentiful now
that If the women of Paris were
obliged to put the necklaces in a
heap, an express wagon couldn' t
hold the load.
"If imitation pearls were dis
carded in another heap, the mound
would be so high that Paris babies
could go coasting down from the
top of it as from a hilltop covered
with snow" continues the journal.
Pearls have become an obsession,
a mania. Instead of being worn only
by women with pale, transparent
Spmplexions, they are adopted by
every woman, SHORT or tall, fat or
thin. sallow or faff, dark or blonde.
Pearls are considered a mark of
gentility, a diploma of good breed
ing, according to the sheepish ten
dency of fashion today. 1t takes a
woman of individuality to revolt
against the regime of the pearl"

IRISH BABIES NAMED
IN HONOR OF MANNIX

Cork. Oct. 16.-Mannixes will pre-
dominate in the coming generation
in Ireland, according to the chris
ening registers. John Joseph Mannix
and Patrick Timothy Mannix are
favorite names for the children. In
the vicinity of Charleville, Doctor
Mannix's birthplace. dozens of chill
dren have been named for the arch
bishop.
There is a strong conviction here
that Doctor Mannix never will re-
turn home until he has visited Ire
land.
He'll get over, all right" is the
general opinion.

movement simply by being inter
ested in it.
Belgium gave women the right
to be elected, but did not give them
the vote. This apparent anomaly
is due to the peculiar Belgian cleo
tion law, which makes the right
to vote dependent on social posi-
tion, etc. When the question Of
women's suffrage came up, Parlia-
ment could not decide whether
women should vote according to
existing laws or whether the whole
election law should be remodeled.
This is a minor matter, however.
and will soon be settled, and Bel
gian women may expect TO enjoy
very shortly full rights of citizen
ship.
The work of the Belgian suf-
fragists has been greatly helped
by the splendid fight put up by the
British suffragists and suffragettes.
II English women had not held out
SO courageously for their rights.
Belgian women would not have
gained when they have SO soon.
1t is said.

declined almost TO the point Of en-
tinction. The council has now heic
nine meetings without the mass Of =
the people even being aware Of the
fact The newspapers are not In

This disconcerting fact hss
prompted one of the many Officially
on the league payroll TO issue
statement dealing with the world
neglect from which President VIII
sons international concert is sun
ering. He complains that the coun-
ell has received no more space In

that the council itself is most &C
blame. IL was stipulated that the
deliberations OF the league should
be made public, but discussions are
held in private and only decisions
are announced in public.

The partisans OF the league in
Europe have been considering
whether a warmer public feeling
toward Il could not be promoted by
admitting newspaper correspondents
to the council meetings, but the
statesmen are strongly against di-
vulging the disputes which arise
during their deliberations The
league official who makes these dis
closures says that since. In the
course of debate, little frictions

this is likely to be solved by the
admission Of one press association
