President Millerand's chivalry was
tested last week when he prevented the
seizure Of the household goods Of o.
woman who with a baby girl had been
abandoned by French soldier.
The French law is strict in cases
where rent is not paid. but friends OF
tho woman. who had almost starved try
ing to save enough from her rneagre
earnings to pay Off o portion of the
debt. appealed TO the President to exert
his prerogativa to stay the proceedings
Red tape did its best TO defeat the
well meaning friends. but some one In
the Government offices sent letter In
the Presidents personal mail bag with
the desired results.
The President, whose love for his FAM
lily and devotion 10 his children have won
the respect OF his bittorest political ene-
mics. promptly telegraphed the collec-
tors. Hands off," contending that de-
spite the abandonment the woman still
was legally a wife and the mother of
q child OF O. soldier who had fought for
France and that therefore she was en-
titled TO more than words OF pity.
While this does not necessarily est8b-
lish q legal precedent. II Is taken as q
warning by the avaricious landlords who
In the housing shortage have been taking
advantage OF tho least opportunity to
oust families of soldiers who have fallen
on hard times since demobilization.

The question OF what shall be done

During tho war tho hospitality OF the

members OF tho clubs whose comforts

question arises, arc they eligible?
Some members hold that II they were
good enough TO enjoy the club privileges
during tho war they are worthy OF them
now. Others hold that social position
popularity and half n score other things
may enter into the case.
Some OF the older clubs. such as
Brooks's. the WindhRm and the Reform,

OF desirable candidate being black

What Is probably the greatest inter
national exposition OF motor cars
opened at the Olympia this week. 1t is
tho fourteenth motor exhibition here
and one of the most interesting ever
held, for despite the attainment Of q
certain 'normalcy'' In all automobile
types in these days, the Olympia pre-
sents a fascinating study OF the sub
ject OF prices and values. 1t Is partic-
uarly interesting to Americans because.
excepting tho British. who are showing
more than eighty types OF motor cars,
the Americans. with forty-one. come
second. The French are showing twen-
ty-six, the Italians ten and the Belgians,
Dutch and Swiss one each.
Fords mt $1,000 Popular.
America has the distinction of show
ing the lowest priced automobile--the
Ford. OF course--but despite the sddi-
tional 80 per cent duty, this handy but
universal piece OF mechanism that is al
most as familiar as Yorkshire pudding
In England sells here for f200 (rlor7nal
$1,000. No other motor car---not even

proaches that price. The Same holds true

American automobiles, despite the 80
per cent. duty they must pay, run Brit

than their British competitors.
A distinguishing feature OF many
Erftish motor cars this year is their
adoption of tho electric lighting sys-
tom, electric starting and the perfection
of coach work, In which they seem to
excel even some OF the very striking
French and italian interiors de luxe.

"Margot's" book Is out and critics
rage over it from pole to pole. install
ments Of 1t were published serially in

were carefully copyrighted. and this
cramped the critics style to some ex-
tent, although the revelations Of addi-

however. all. from Winston Churchill
to the veriest penny-a-Iiner. have
opened their flood gates OF praise or
blame.
To understand the light In which the
British public receives this book, 1t
must be recalled that 1t is from the pen
of the woman VINO presided over the
household of the Prime Minister, at his
torio 10 Downing street, and that 1t
deals intimately with every prominent
personality OF the last generation. 1t
is as Il some ono who had been more
sensational while in the White House
than any American woman has ever
been had taken her pen ana told the
whole story of how she had courted
the President. how she had repulsed
dozen Senators and Secretary Of State,
etc, etc. and told the most intimate de-
tails OF all the intimate little parties of
a gay generation In Washington.
The book IS moro than the telling of
how heroes eat soup. It Is telling how
Arthur Balfour made love--or. rather,
how he didn't make love--and Arthur
has probably been the coldest personifi-
cation OF craftsmanship prop!iety that
Great Britain has ever known. And de-
spite the severe structures on the char
acter OF the book, there is not one critic
who says It ia not powerful.
