Real Frenchwomen.

The housekeeping Frenchwoman is
much more common than the average
foreigner is inclined to think after
a casual visit to Paris. writes a
! Paris correspondent of the London
Daily Mail. The impression OF out
| of-door life is given by the much
freouented cafes and the strollers on
| the boulevards. One imagines that
all Paris leaves it's homes and spends
it's life sitting on the pavement before
little tables drinking coffee or lemon
ade or beer. In reality very Few wom-
en- go regularly to the cafes. and they
are not of the better classes wnen
| they do.
The Frenchwoman loves her home:
She is Jealous of her privacy and
opens her doors but rarely to any but
| her own family. The stranger within
her gates is always stranger. now
ever courteously treated. 1t Is al
most as difficult to get into a French
home as it is for camel to pass
through the eye Of a needle. One may
dine there. lunch there, have tea there
frequently, but that does not mean
| that one has seen the Frenchwoman
at home.
The only people who know French
women in their own homes, apart

\ family friends, are their servants and
| their governesses. There is no hos
pitality as Englishwomen know IT.
The home life literally means the
home life.
| Families foregather in large num-
bers and they do not like to mix
| friends and family in daily life. The
strong conservative element in French

POLITICS AT HOME
Cox and MGAdoo.

Both Gov. Cox and former Secre.
tary McAdoo have been taking the air
In New England this summer. Sim
ply the air. There could have been no
political attraction. That section last
year almost fell over itself in its rush
to the polls to vote for Harding and
Coolidge. Massachusetts, gave over
four hundred thousand plurality. Con-
necticut gave over a hundred thou
sand, with Maine. New Hampshire and
Vermont extending themselves. Even
Little Rhody" gave a plurality Of
sixty thousand.
The two men have not met, though
there is no reason why they should
avoid each other. Their fight for party
leadership last year was brisk. but
open and fair. They were really the
only figures Of consequence at San
Francisco; and the more popular, with
the better management. won.
Mr.. McAdoo yielded with good grace,
and took the stump for the winner.
Success at the polls was impossible.
The country was "set" decidedly the
other way. But Mr.. McAdoo did his
bit whole.heartedly. and called on his
friends to support the nominee.
A Cox boom and a McAdoo boom
survived the November cyclone, and
are being carefully nourished. There
are three trying years before both.
Much may, and much probably will,
happen before the next democratic
national convention, convenes. New
issues may produce new leaders.
But both Gov. Cox and Mr.. McAdoo
are interesting hangovers and live
wires. Both are young men. Both are
well heeled." and able to indulge
profound taste for politics and pro-
nounced skill for the game. Hence all
they do and is done in their behalf in
the coming three years will easily Be.

Rate by Mail-Payable in Advance.
MARYLAND and VIRGINIA.
The New Utilities Rates.

The Public Utilities Commission has
revised the street car fare schedule
somewhat, granting slight relief to the
public. The fiat rate of cash fares
remains at cents, but the rate for
tokens will be 7, instead of IN cents.
The commission follows the principle
heretofore laid down Of maintaining
TENS. Nothing has occurred to war
rant a departure from that basis of
fare regulation. Whatever may be the
relative earning powers of the two
companies under the new rates it
would still be prejudicial to the pub
lie interest to establish differential.
This change in the token fare will les
sen what may be termed the excess
profits of the Capital Traction. The
commission believes that the Wash
ington Railway and Electric Company
can profitably carry passengers at 7
cents on a token basis as against 7a.
This is not a large measure Of re-
lief, but it is to be welcomed as the
first move back toward cheaper trans
portation. Plainly the cash fare had
to be kept at cents if there was to
be a difference between cash and
tokens. The next move in cash fares
downward must be to cents at least.
which would probably be accompanied
by a rate of six tokens for 80 cents.
These new car rates are accom-
panied by reduction in the price of
and of per cent in the electric cur
rent rates. the latter, however, to be
approved by the court before becom-
ing effective. Those who are now pay
ing 10 cents will continue at that rate.
the court determining the percentage
to be impounded as fund in trust
for possible repayment to the con-
sumers.
Efforts to secure a just legislative
basis for the merger of the two rail-
road companies should continue. Lit
tie progress has been made in this di-
rection owing to the wide differences
of view regarding the local traction
situation held by the House District
committee. The problem, however, is
not incapable of solution. Apparently
there Is no likelihood of action look
ing to municipal ownership. the least
desirable of all proposed cures for the
present unfortunate condition. More
likely Of approval is the plan to change
the basis of street railway taxation
from gross to net revenues. This
suggestion is gaining in favor.
The action Of the commission yes
terday in reducing the rates should be
an encouragement to the House COM
mittee to press to passage a bill effect
ing the proposed tax change, which
will tend to equalize the financial
status of the two companies and by
tightening the load upon the Wash
ington Railway and Electric Company
to permit a further reduction of fares
The utilities commission has consid-
cred this question carefully and has
rendered a decision that should be sus-
tanned by public opinion. Inspired by
desire to relieve the people of exces-
sive rates Of fare, the commission has
at the same time been just to the
companies that serve the public.
