Paris Is Worried
About Which Wing
To Offer to Frail

Paris, Dec. 6-Whether a man
should offer his right or left arm to
woman is agitating Parisians. A
decision by Andre de Fouquieres, the
accepted arbiter of social customs,
has not settled the question.
He said, always the right arm,
indoors" a custom surviving from
the days when all gentlemen carried
swords and wanted to be quick on the
draw. Outdoors, he said, no man
ever offers his arm to a woman tex
cept in cases of DANGER" which the
newspapers hold is the normal condi-
ton in Paris streets.
Therefore, regardless of good form
those debating the matter generally
agree that man should take hold
of woman's right arm with his left
hand, instead of offering his right
arm, because the women consulted
said they intended continuing to car
ry their purse, parasol, packages,
ETC., in their left hand. And the
men insisted a cane belonged in the
right hand.
