a New York Herald Bureau,
Paris, Dec. 20.
The council OF the Legion of Honor
is confronted with the problem of how
naughty an author can be without being
unworthy of the order as a result Of
numerous protests by members OF the
legion demanding the EXPULSION of Vic
tor marguerite. a popular writer and
cent Partisan literary sensation.
II was revealed here to-day that
Marguerite has been summoned to APP
pear before a committee Of three fellow
commanders of the legion to explain
the reasons behind the writing Of LA
Garconne." Under a fifty year old
ruling the legion has the right to expel
any member found guilty of acts which
do not come under ordinary provisions
Of the law.
French writer's are generally excited,
protesting that the legion has no sight
to Intervene. as, IL MarguerlMe's book
is risque enough to constitute an offense
against public morals, il is for the police
to prohibit the sale, which is rapidly
running into the tens of thousands. The
litterateurs also are contending that II
the names OF the authors OF more or
less sensational love stories were to be
expunged from the legion's record. there
ould be hardly a writer of note left In
Frances national knighthood. Anotole
France and other eminent members Of
the legion are reported to have filed
formal protests against any discrimina-
tion in the case of Marguerite.

beautifully. Mr.. Gigli's impersonation

standard. Although never rich In poetic
imagination he achieved good results

better advantage.

sened his gray hairs with each per-
formance and with correspondingly
happy effect. Angelo Bada again
appeared as Tybdlt after temporary
absence at the last performance when
Mr. Diaz undertook the part.
