Paris Police Ban
Public SpOOning

Paris. March PA wave of
Puritanism is hitting Paris full
force as the budding bois and
the boulevards begin to warm
the hearts of Partisan couples.
The campaign, started few
weeks ago, to make kissing IN
public an offense, as in certain
Belgian towns, was followed this
week by the decision by of
ficials of the Metro to put an
end to cuddling, which has made
the Paris subway one of the in
teresting sights for visitors.
Couples frequently are seen sit
ting on the most sequestered
bench in an underground station
till the last train pulls out. Con-
gested traffic, however, has made
the Metro sweethearts undesirable
membranes, and the guards
have been ordered to Gust offend
ers after they have missed a
maximum of three trains.
Another attack upon promiscu-
Gus lovemaking is to be directed
against spring SWANS in the Bots
de Boulogne and other public
parks.

Husband Refuses to
Look For His Wife

Paris, March 27.-An amazing
story of a husband who lost his
wife and refused to look for her
lis being investigated by the gen.
d9rmes in L'Orient' Neighbors,
remarking that Nine. Danet, wife
of laborer, had not been seen
about her home for several days,
sought an explanation.
81 do not know" replied Danet.
Eve were walking home from
the cinema when. half mile
from home, l suddenly noticed
she was not with me. The law
says it is the wife's duty to fol-
low her husband, not for the
husband to go running around af-
ter his wife She did not follow
me, and that's all there is to the
affair"
The police are suspicious, how
ever and have locked up the law
abiding spouse while trying to
learn whether Nine. Danet left
of her own accord. or was the vic
tim of foul play.
