HOW THE FRENCH
GIRL KEEPS BUSY

From the Manchester Guardian.
The young French girl seems to play
no games at all at school or at home.
Swimming is regarded as a fortunate
accomplishment rather than a neces-
sity; cricket and hockey are only
played by factory or working class
girls who go to England to play
teams there; lacrosse is almost un-
known, riding infrequent, and tennis
not nearly so popular as one would
suppose.
Inspired by the incompatible Su-
zanne, many schools have taken it
up, but the local tennis club is still
often regarded mainly as a meeting
ground for the sexes. away from the
eyes of parents or chaperons. To an
English girl accustomed to the siren
uous life, with exercise for exercises
sake, or for what is called keeping
the fat down." it is an envious Won
der that French girls keep so healthy
and so slim. They do take moderate
exercise in the form of country walks,
but they are not fond of walking, and
temperamentally they are restless
and highly strung.
Dancing is another form of exercise
really, and it takes the place of
games with the majority of French
girls. They dance exquisitely, as is
given to few English contemporaries.
However well an English girl dances.
it is with her feet and her feet only.
A French girl dances with every part
of her, brain, body and soul
There is very little for the young
Evening star., 1924-05-04

French girl of good family to do in
the business. legal, literary or jour
nalistic world at present, and plenty
for her to do in the home. 1t may
be blessing in disguise that so few
young daughters in France desire to
go outside it. And it is wonderful
what the young French girl finds to
do in the home, when one remembers
what waste the English girl con-
siders a day spent in pottering round.
The verb ito potter has no French
equivalent, and a great deal Is left to
the girls of the house as a matter of
course that in England would be in
the province of the servants. For all
that, the home daughter finds time to
play the piano, to sing, without much
real voice, but with feeling and an
attractive facility; to entertain and
be entertained, to go to concerts and
the theater, to dance, to run up her
frocks. make herself "undies," to dab
BILE in the cooking line, to read Sc
rious books and discuss by the hour
the topics of the day with surprising
logic and common sense
II the French girl has not the free
dom of the English girl she has
learned to make admirable use of her
thraldom.

LONDON PROVIDES
'DONT'S' FOR GUESTS
Exhibition Period Advice Includes
Warnings Against
''Black Sheep"
By the Associated Press-

By the Associated Press.
LONDON. May "A list of well
meant "don'ts," some serious and
others not so much so, are beginning
to appear in the newspapers for the
benefit of the hundreds Of thousands
of visitors who are expected in Lon
don this summer to visit the British
empire exhibition. AS many thou
sands of these guests are expected to
be Americans, much of the advice is
based upon the English conception of
American weaknesses.
In recent years scores of Americans
have been victimized by confidence
tricksters here, so Americans are
warned that most of the British are
mildly hospitable and friendly, but that
only the black sheep are very friend
ly and hospitable. The black sheep,
1t is pointed out, are not too proud
to dip into their neighbor's pocket
the newspapers. don't wear horn
trimmed spectacles or chew gum--4t
will attract the black sheep and cost
more
Some More of the "Don'ts."
Here are a. few more of the "don'ts":
Don't describe London as a one
horse town-we are sensitive.
Don't believe your taxi driver
when he tells you his meter registers
dollars. 1t doesn't. He is only trying
to do the right thing by his wife and
children. Small tips are acceptable.
Don't be angry if we've never
heard of Main street. Kalamazoo
We've never heard of Sauchiehall
street, Glasgow.
Don't expect to find free baths, ice
in your drinks or summer weather in
summertime Stick to your under
wear and your umbrella
When you see a bewigged coach
man driving big landau with a
golden crest on the door panels. don't
look inside to find fairy prince. In
all probability the coach will contain
a fat alderman from the mansion
house. Nowadays fairy princes pre-
fer the incognito of the golf course
or the hit and miss of the Jockeys
saddle.
Don't expect to find cooling drinks
in drug stores. Don't look for blind
pigs or tigers There are many blind
alleys in London, but no drinking
emporium hides its light
above all. don't shoot from the
hip is advice assuredly for Americans,
most of whom are still expected to
carry guns. There's no need for il;
the other fellow doesn't carry a gun
in London-besides, we hate the
noise"

Balloting Membership.
CONSTITUTION, IS AMENDED
Privilege Issue Creates Two Fac
tions With Organization.

BY the Associs ted Press.
NEW YORK, May 3.-The foremost
issue confronting the Young Wom-
ems Christian Association during the
past few years was brought to a con-
clusion today when delegates to the
national convention voted by a large
majority to allow women Of all
faiths full voting membership in the
association.
The amendment TO the constitution
accomplishing this change. however,
will not become effective until it has
been approved by the 1895 convention.
Each local association, under the
amendment. retains the right to de-
eide whether it desires to adopt the

which provides that the organiza-
tion's voting and officeholding mem
bership to be limited to members of
Protestant Evangelical Churches.
Declaration Provision.
Voting privileges under the amend
ment would be extended to ''any

age, provided she makes the follow
ing declaration: Il desire to enter
the Christian fellowship OF the as
sociation. / will loyalty endeavor to
uphold it's purpose in my own life and
through my membership in the asso-
citation"
The issue of whether the privileges
of full membership would be extend
ed to women of other faiths has
created within the association two
factions. The faction opposing sucn
change consisted largely of the
older members. Two years ago a COM
mission was appointed to make a
thorough study of the subject This
commissioners report was the basis
of the change voted today.
Regulation Requirements.
The new regulations would requir~
that three-fourths of the members of

are damaging the perpetuity and
harmony of the country.
