SCHOOL FOR

PARIS

~ ARIS-"A university for Mimi
Pinson is what is needed in
u Paris today" writes Emile
Faure, general counselor Of the
department of the Seine, in LIE
Journal.
For the demoiselle du monde
there are universities and schools
a-plenty, literary societies and
clubs where one hears good music.
But how can Mimi Pinson, the
little working girl, and her many
sisters, fill in their long evenings?
1.-The cinema and the dance hall
take too much Of their time" con-
tinues Monsieur Faure. "They,
too, have the right to a minimum
Of artistic education and whole
some pleasure"
The counselor proposes to es-
tablish evening classes in music
and literature, as well as dress
making, millinery, bookkeeping
and stenography, ETC.. instruction
will be given free Of all charge to
girls who have small resources.
At the same time Monsieur Faure
studies the problem of lending as
sistance to country girls coming
to work in Paris. Most Of hem
arrive in the city with no work
and no means of finding suitable
lodgings. According to his plan, a
large information bureau will keep
in touch with business openings
in commercial houses and dress
making establishments. It will
also undertake to place the girls
in reliable pensions. A large IL
brary, abundantly supplied with
literature, will help them to pass
pleasant hours of leisure. and in
the large concert room they will
be able to dance and sing and
make merry with all the other lit
tie Partisan Minis.

Nine. de Stael was FINALLY forced
to flee to England. She returned
as quickly as possible. Immedi-
ately she reopened her salon.
But it was not for long. Ma
poleon saw with what authority
she ruled. No one should have
power but him.
Again this brilliant woman left
her country. She travelled in Ger
many. While there she wrote q
book called Germany"
Napoleon, selling upon this as
disloyal, ordered every copy de-
stroyed. But his real reason, It
has been limited, was because the
authoress had neglected to men,
ton the name of the Emperor of
France
However, her book was a great
success in other countries and
established her as a literary giant
She continued to write with great
success. In fact, so prominent
did Mime. de Stael become that
she was hailed as 1.-THE High
Priestess of Letters" Minerva
Of Poetry" and "Sappho Re-
turned"
The battle between Nine. de
Stael and Napoleon ended only
when Napoleon suffered what he
had inflicted on her-exile.
Then the former queen of So
ciety returned to Paris. Trium-
phantly she reopened her salon,
which was attended by the brains,
wealth and nobility Of the world.
But her reign was short. She
died suddenly at the age Of fifty
one. Those fifty-one years were
so brilliant that the name of
Nine. de Stael stands alone in it's
special niche in the history Of
France.

HEROINEs OF HISTORY
A GLIMPSE INTO THE LIFE OF MADAME DE sTAEIA
Significant Incidents in the Lives Of Famous
. BY MARK STUYVESANT

NURELY q woman who could
inspire fear in the heart of
~ the greatest soldier of all
time was q heroine.
Nine. de Stael was exiled be-
cause Napoleon was afraid Of
her. She was too powerful, too
brilliant, too clever.
Nine. de Stael was Germaine
Necker, the daughter of the
Necker who was minister of fl
nance to Louis XVI. Her mother
was Of humble Swiss birth, but
a woman Of such charm that
Gibbon-the great historian who
wrote the Decline and Fall Of
the Roman Empire"-wanted to
marry her.
The daughter inherited her
fathers shrewdness, brilliancy Of
mind and her mothers feminine
appeal.
So attractive was she that Glib
bons showed evident signs Of pur-
suing his love quest to the second
generation. For he was in love
with Germaine Necker. OF his
first meeting with her he said:
"She was a splendid creature
grown, physically, mentally; not
handsome, but dazzling, brilliant,
emotional, sensitive, daring"
At twenty, Germaine NeckAr
married Baron de Stael-Holstein,
the Swedish ambassador to
France. It was a loveless but
amiable match. Both acquired
what they wished. Germaine
Necker received a title, and De
Stael secured money-for this
girls dowry was 1000, 900 francs.
After many years, without wrang-
ling or publicity, the couple
parted.
When the revolution broke,
Nine. de Stael rushed from abso-
lutte security in Switzerland to
the terrors which held sway in
her beloved home-Paris.
She was not afraid. She
opened her salon, and there con-

Mining not so Risky

The mining industry has always
been considered hazardous bust
ness, both for the investor who risks
his money and for the miner who
risks his life. Apparently the latter
risk is not so great as the former
in Utah. at least, for the work.
mans compensation rate is less than
for several other industries. Ac-
cording to the Engineering and Min
ing Journal>Press of New York, a
new reduction in insurance rates for
compensation to metal mining COM
panies-the second within a period
of ID months-has' been ordered by
the Utah industrial commission. It
went into effect Jan. L, 1923, maxi
ing the rate $500 per 800 of payroll,
instead of $4.S2. as it had been pre-
viously. The new rate means an ag-
gregate saving of over $4,000 an
nually to the metal mines of the
state: it is based upon experience
gained during period of AZ months,
dating from July 1, 1918. to Dec. 81,
1921, from which it is shown that it
is possible to carry on business
profitably at lower rates than those
formerly in force.
