South Carolina, following close on

state in the nation to fill its quota for

great interest of her young men In
this splendid opportunity for vaca,

them for greater service in case of

lie Figaro Departs
From Precedent

New York, June 11.-With the pur-
pose of interpreting American life
and thought to the people of France,
the newspaper LIE Figaro, of Paris,
will henceforth devote weekly a
measurable proportion of it's space
to American affairs.
French newspapers differ large
ly from those in this country. AS a
rule they give relatively little space
to foreign news, using only short
dispatches. Heavy demands are
made upon them by politics, and as a
result political editorial articles
crowd out news of what the rest of
the world is doing. Furthermore the
theatre and matters literary receive
much space in their columns.
lie Figaro, however, is going to
depart, in a measure, from precedent.
1t has opened an office i'm New York
in charge of Louis Thomas and G.
M. Lerner, who will send it by cable
and by mail news of the United
States, particularly matters in which
both countries are interested, as well
as descriptive stories of American
life, and financial, industrial and pol.
itical articles.
lie Figaro was purchased on Nov
10, 1921, by M. Coty.

Twenty-Eight is Ideal Age

Chicago, June 12.-"Old maids"
Iced hang their heads no longer.
The ideal age for heroine.of NOV
ing picture romance or of love stories
generally is today 90 years, an age
that only a few years ago was re-
garded by the general public as fix
ing a woman definitely in the ranks
of confirmed spinsterhood. This is
the conclusion made from a careful
study of the $4,000 love stories which
the lay public, amateurs from all
walks of life, wrote for the scenario
contest recently conducted by The
Chicago Daily News. Representing
not what scenario and magazine edi-
tors or writer's guess the public's
choice to be, these manuscripts were

tastes of the people who buy books
and who attend moving picture ex-
hibitions.
Striking unity among the nation

subject of the heroine's age is among
the first things to be noted by the
judges" said Judge Shyrock, direc
tor of the contest today, announcing
the facts as brought out by the COM
petition. ut is too general to be ac-

ing to regard this age as woman's
best and woman as more beautiful
intelligent poised and attractive there
than previously. The judges declared
that the age of the ideal heroine had
been advancing steadily since the
187O's when girl of 16 or II was
regarded as romantically perfect.
"The judges explain this by citing
woman's entrance into industry, poll.
tics, education and by pointing out
that woman today refuses to grow
old and takes better and more intel
ligent care of her beauty than sht
did in early periods. In the stories
written by women, 60,per cent of the
total, the heroines were on the aver
age four or five years older than ir
