Paris, Feb. IS.
Although prices are going down in
the United States and England, and
even in Italy, the latest calculation of
economic standards shows but an in
significant decrease in the cost Of liv-
ing in France, a condition which to
the average citizen is difficult to un-
derstand. But as far as Americans
are concerned this situation is even
more serious to them than to the
French themselves, FOR any decrease
there has been las not been in pro-
portion to the tremendous decrease in
the purchasing value of the dollar.
AS result this years financial bal
ance as, far as the American colony is
concerned, or American tourists, is
considered likely to be far under nor
mall For instance. when the dollar
was worth say seventeen francs leases
were negotiated which have quite a
different effect upon American income
when the cartwheel is listed at only
eleven francs.
Foodstuffs are slightly lower--in
France-but with the costier dollar
any advantage Of this kind is lost in
translating exchanges. and what is
true of rentals and food can be said
generally of clothing and all other house.
hold expenses. Even taxicab ride
across the city costs nearly a dollar.
while a dinner for two at any popu-
lar cafe requires Americans to dispense
with certain costly wines that hitherto
have been within their reach.
Even more serious is the effect upon
hotels. which are extremely pessimistic
as to how Americans will feel when they
arrive next spring and summer In the
expectation of finding prices fallen
with the rate of exchange One of the
biggest hotel proprietors In Paris out
lined the situation thus to the corre-
spondent for THE NEW YORK HERALD
this week:
"Instead on coming over here with last
years income, Americans will come
over with a ten or eleven franc to the
dollar income, which will mean they
will be able to- spend only about hall
as much as during the last two years.
But the situation Is not our fault' as
many economic features enter in.' IN
Guiding the necessity Of France con-
tinuing to pay taxes. while this charge
decreases in other countries.
.-Then there has been the problem of
the eight-hour law. which means that a
hotel doing an all night business on a
large scale must retain three distinct
staffs We are willing to do our best,
but Americans will have to realize that
the present situation is against their
interests as far as travelling Is con-
cerned."
Several large hotels catering to the
American clientele have received already
suggestions to establish a sliding tarin
for rooms. conforming to the variations
in exchange. but this seems Impossible
of achievement 1t Is only right on the
part of Americans to realize that IN

BERLIN'S HOTEL ROOM TAX
RUINOUS, ASSERT OWNERS
Graduated Scale Running From 10 to SO Per Cent to
Raise 55,000,000 Marks Annually-An Amusing
Inconsistency in the Laws Operation.

The authorities expect the new tax
TO yield revenues amounting to 55,000,-
600 marks a year. This is calculated
on n basis OF $4,000 rooms in Berlin,
of which 1000 are in first class ana
5000 in second class hotels and 5000
In boarding houses.
In fighting the new tax the hotel
owners point out this inconsistency:
They say that IL family of four MEM
bcrs takes suite of four rooms in a
first class hotel with total price of
1000 marks a night, they will have
TO pay a tax Of so per cent. or 500
marks daily. II, however. they take
four separate rooms at 250 marks each
the tax will be 20 per cent. on each
OF the four rooms or a total of 200
marks. Thereby the family still would
pay 1000 marks a night for their
rooms, but would save 900 marks each
night on taxes.

Paris, Feb. 18.
In spite Of the approach of the
Genoa conference, which might have
obtained at least a provisional settle
ment of the estates left to her by the
late Prince Dobridine of Russia, a
woman known as Nine. Gaillard. once
a familiar figure in the brightest Pari-
sian salons. committed suicide this
week in her apartment on the edge
of the Quarter Latin. Her body was
found between those of her pet ape
and her big black cat.
The woman was deprived OF her for
tune by her inability to overcome the
Bolshevist opposition to the recognition
of her rights as French citizen. 1t
was estimated that she had possessed
between 50.00O,000 and $4,000, 900 francs,
but when she ended her life only few
hundred francs remained OF the sub
stantial account which the Prince had
opened for her in local banks.
Although friends of the couple always
had believed that they had gone through
some sort of marriage ceremony not
recognized by the Russian Church. Nine.
Gaillard always insisted that she was
merely the most intimate friend OF her
noble lover. who was almost twice her
age. When he died in Russia in the
first year of the war the Princes law
yers sent her a copy of his will, In
which he left her his entire properties.

confirmation of the bequest when they
undertook to protect Nine. Gaillard's in
terests, but owing to the French Gov
ernments decision that such estates
could not be even partially admins
tered until the cessation of hostilities
the woman was forced to support herself
and her aged mother with her gradually
diminishing funds. N
When the Bolshevki gained power she
gave up all hope OF securing the fortune
she had inherited and decided to spend a
few years In Brazil, whence she returned
to Paris a few months ago, bringing
with her a pet ape and huge black
cat
After writing letters to the police and
her mother, telling of her intention to
take her life because ''the money is 60
ing too fast. and all hopes of finding an
other Prince have been abandoned
through my affection for him." Nine.
Gaillard called In veterinary and re-
uuested him to kill the two animals.
Then she laughingly suggested:
"And now give me an injection OF
morphine strong enough to KILL adding.
when the veterinary refused. Never
mind. then; I'll take care OF that"
Half an hour later she took dozen
packets of veronal. She was found be-
tween the bodies of her pets. lying upon
a tiger skin spread on the bedroom floor.

Under the French law her mother Will
inherit the claim to the Russian estates.
Already she is partly paralyzed. and
with few years remaining she Is making
preparations to demand that the French

asked to guarantee when Lenine's dele
cation arrives in Genoa.

One of the most anxious observers of
the recent agitation In England for a
general election was Frederick wilkins.
an innkeeper of Herefordshre, who had
made a pledge not to shave or have his
hair trimmed until the Liberals are de-
feated.
In 1906. when the Tories were de-
feated, Wilkins declared he would not
allow either his beard or hair to be cut
until the Liberals were defeated. He
has faithfully observed his pledge. until
row his countenance is hidden behind a
veritable forest of whiskers which
covers even his watch chain. while his
gray hair falls like cascade over his
shoulders. Indeed, he frequently fastens
II up with hairpins.
Whenever the Government majority
shrinks friends call on him and suggest
he may soon be able to have his hair
trimmed. but he now answers he is no
longer interested In politics and will not
be as long as Mr.. Lloyd George is alive.
