PARIS, October 11.-Beauty is go
ing to have its own salon in Paris.
This does not mean the Grand Palais
will replace It's shining arrays of
automobile chasses or its unending
galleries of pictures with picked
specimens of feminine grace-al-
though that may come eventually.
For the time being, however, Par
fsians and foreign visitors must con-
tent themselves with an exhibition OF
all the aids and adjuncts to beauty.
both masculine and feminine, which
has just opened here under the mod
est title. "Hairdressing and Perfum-
cry Show"
The main idea, it is said, is to stir
up emulation among BARRIERS and
other capillary artists while showing
the public the trend of fashion in
,coInures and muStacheS. This, how
ever. seems only an excuse for the
real show, which will include every
thing from the latest things in rouge,
make-ups and hair dyes TO demon
>strations of the newest methods OF
massage.
Exhibit of Perfumes.
The whole Samut of scents will be
to the dictates of psychology and
sentiment. each one marked for its
particular usage. The organizers
say these categoric perfume exhibits
hold deep secrets.
Hair dressing competitions also are
announced, with tempting prizes for
the best or most sensational inven-
lions for men as well as women. The
star attraction of the show is a

telS are packed to their roofs and
newcomers who have not taken the +,

around the city trying to find shelter |
such q condition did not exist even |
during the 'grande senaine."
Hotels Reap Harvest.
Tradesmen and hotel keepers are |
reaplng a rich harvest from foreign /!
visitors. Americans are particularly |
prominent among them. The Paris |
ianS are therefore diSmayed by re- !
port that next years motor show NAV /
be held in Lyon, because the Grand !
Palais viii! be needed for the exhibi- |
tions OF the four decorative arts |
Pressure is being brought to bear on
the municipal government to find an |
other site here for the motor show
or, II necessary, to build a special |
palace for it.
1t is curious that the present years
unprecedented influx of foreigner Wis
ttorS, who leave hundreds of millions
Of francs in this country. should have
coincfded with one of the bitterest
campaigns against foreigners ever re-
corded in France. The French are
essentially a hospitable people, but
practically the entire press seems to
believe it Is voicing the general wish
Of the nation in clamoring for severe
control of aliens.
Foreigners. say the leaders of the
campaign, should be watched mis-
trustfully, and be made to pay spe-
cial taxes. These '.xenophobes' are
willing to make a distinction between
legitimate tourists and harmless resi-
dents on the one hand and the army
Of undesirableS which, they claim, has
settled on French soil either as un-
welcome workers or nero parasites
Of criminal tendencies.
The hand of the government is be-
ing forced in the matter. and the Of
hcials are discussing measures to be
framed for supervision of the move
ments of foreigners. 1t is probable
that as result foreign visitors will
have to obtain at the frontiers per-
mission to travel in France, thus de-
laying their journey. Probably tenn
porary and permanent license cards
will also successiveIy be required.
It has been suggested that foreign
ers be prohibited from owning real
estate or exercising certain profess
sions. A commission is at work on
the details
