Painting celebrities, American, European, and Far Eastern, is the "line" of Mrs. Leonebel Jacobs, who is in the public eye of Paris today. But this well-known portraitist is vastly more interested in the art side of her work, in turning out good sketches of excellent picture subjects, than she is of admiring a long list of famous men and women to her gallery. "Some of my Chinese sketches of persons not notable at all are among the best of my work," Mrs. Jacobs confides. "In other words,
best of my work," Mrs. Jacobs confides. "In other words, it is not the celebrity in whom I am interested, but his or her 'paintableness' and the art of the work when completed." This interesting American is the only artist who has painted the so-called "Boy Emperor" and "Empress" of China. She is the only artist who was taken within the walls of the Forbidden City in Peking, to meet these two lone figures, who were confined there for so many years after the overthrow of the Manchus and the establishment of the Republic. Mrs. Jacobs and the young deposed
establishment of the Republic. Mrs. Jacobs and the young deposed rulers became the best of friends, and she it was who went to their quarters within the Japanese compound in Tientsin, after they had fled there for protection, and painted their portraits. Besides the Emperor and Empress, she has painted Princess Wu Ke Ke, aunt of the Empress; Prince Pu, brother of the Emperor; his wife, and others. Interested above all things in the Chinese people, their mode of life and their customs, Mrs. Jacobs tells many a fascinating tale of the China of today and of those men and
of the China of today and of those men and women who were her friends during her four-year sojourn. “The outside world often thinks that the women of China have no social life,” she says, “but I did not find it so. I played bridge and mahjong and dined with them often, and became very fond of Chinese food and of the games with which they amuse themselves.” Lived in Temple. For a long while Mrs. Jacobs lived in an ancient Buddhist temple in the Western hills, about ten miles from Peking, and it was to the deep-toned sound of
from Peking, and it was to the deep-toned sound of bronze gongs that she was awakened each morning. So picturesque was this abode, with its pink walls and huge old carved incense burners, and the Buddhist priests passing back and forth across the court, that no future home can ever take the place in memory dedicated to her residence there. “Of course there was a pool of goldfish in the center of the court.” the painter says with a ready laugh, as she sits among her paintings now on exhibition here, pointing out first one and then another of her
here, pointing out first one and then another of her Chinese friends, who smile down at her from the walls. But mention Chinese politics to Mrs. Jacobs. She throws up her hands in despair. “Oh, I can’t comment on their political situation,” she says with a gesture of helplessness; “the map of China shifts from day to day, and I doubt if the Chinese are even sure of what it is all about.” All through the difficulties attendant on the civil war that surrounded Peking last spring, Mrs. Jacobs was on the scene, and at one time she drove by
on the scene, and at one time she drove by automobile from Tientsin to Peking through the lines and beside the trenches of the warring factions. Mrs. Jacobs is a native of Tacoma, Washington. She was sent by the monthly American publication, the Delineator, to the Limitation of Armaments Conference in Washington, five years ago, to sketch many notables. Among the well-known personages whom she has painted are Mrs. Nicholas Roosevelt Longworth, Mrs. Ethel Barrymore, the late President Harding, Mrs. Coolidge, M. Fournier, M. Jusserand, Princess Cantacuzene, Dr. Wellington Koo, Sir Rabindranath Tagore, Prince Tokugawa, M. Viviani, Mr. Roy Chapman

In private life she is the wife of Mr. Dowling Jacobs, the Philadelphia lexicographer and editor of various editions of well-known dictionaries. WITH THE PROFESSORS AND STUDENTS UNIVERSITY OF PARIS STARTS WINTER TERM The pictures at the Autumn Salon cannot as yet be seen for the fireworks and the brilliantly costumed women at the vernissage. When the thunder of the drums, advance réclame, political jockeying, and hushed suspense, have died away, the canvases may then be judged with cool detachment. Meanwhile, the brassy horns are blowing
judged with cool detachment. Meanwhile, the brassy horns are blowing a thought too loudly for the discriminating eye to see or the discriminating voice to utter as yet a mild, calm judgment. In this exhibition it is well for everyone to watch the Americans. A number of the best American painters in Paris are showing there this year. Ray E. Darrason moved towards us the other night as though out of a milky mist. We could scarcely credit our eyes. Yes, he is the same Darrason, the young American poet, who was recently incarcerated in the Santé Prison by mistake.
who was recently incarcerated in the Santé Prison by mistake. The fact that a mistake was the cause of it all, however, did not prevent Darrason from spending eleven horrendous and spectre-haunted days, in the caboose. But it was a fair sight to see the poet, slightly paler, however, than formerly, but burning with a slow austere flame to relate a new story just added to his armory of yarns and experiences here and there. The University of Paris formally opened its winter session this afternoon at three o’clock with ceremonies presided over by M. Paul Lapie, Rector of the
ceremonies presided over by M. Paul Lapie, Rector of the University. The ceremony was attended by M. Edouard Herriot, Minister of Education, and members of the Diplomatic Corps. The degree of doctor honoris causa was conferred upon Professor Charles Homer Haskins, of Harvard; Senhor Chagas, Professor at the Medical School at Rio de Janeiro; Professor C. E. Guye, of the University of Geneva; Professor Christian Snouck Hurgronje, of the University of Leyden, and Professor Medin, of the Medical School at Stockholm. Opposition to the co-educational System in France has always been pronounced, but indications are to hand that it is
been pronounced, but indications are to hand that it is gradually awakening, partly from necessity of limited accommodation and partly from choice. Some rural primary schools now permit boys and girls to enter the same classes and the Minister of Education has decided that in certain cases, co-education is to be permitted in secondary schools. The ruling is limited to small towns where it is impossible to support two classes or institutions because of lack of students. Moreover, as soon as the number of girl students reaches fifty, separate classes must be formed. At all times, the girl students must

The development of intellectual contacts between America and the nations of Europe was the broad topic of the day at the reunion of American students in Paris held last Thursday night at the Salle des Conférences in the Union Building. Among the speakers were M. dal Piaz, president of the Compagnie Générale Transatlantique; Professor Gary N. Calkins, Director of the American University Union; and Dr. Horatio S. Krans, Assistant Director. M. dal Piaz explained the purpose of the Accueil aux Etudiants des Etats-Unis, for which organisation he spoke,
Accueil aux Etudiants des Etats-Unis, for which organisation he spoke, and he asked that American students make use of opportunities which it presents. He pointed out that students will be welcomed in French homes. Dr. Krans gave practical advice to American students, and Professor Calkins told of the work of previous diplomats and emphasized the need for the establishment of more scientific contacts between France and the United States. M. Fortunat Strowski, a member of the Institut de France, and Professor at the Sorbonne, makes a suggestion which should interest many Americans, especially graduates of Columbia University. He suggests that
many Americans, especially graduates of Columbia University. He suggests that a French theatre should be built at Columbia and he urges that Frenchmen, especially groups of Frenchmen such as the Société des Auteurs, who are anxious to see French dramatic art keep pace with the penetration into America of the other French arts, should initiate a fund to this effect. He is sure that wealthy Americans will be only too glad to increase the size of the fund after it has once been started. Such a theatre, M. Strowski says, in addition to providing a stage for visiting French repertory
in addition to providing a stage for visiting French repertory troupes and visiting French stars and to increasing the appreciation of modern French dramatic writing which merits increased appreciation, would serve as a workshop theatre for the School of Drama. In this respect, it would resemble the theatre at Yale under the direction of Professor George P. Baker. A new rule made by the Oxford University authorities will compel undergraduates to carry a distinguishing green light on their motor-cars and motor-cycles. These lamps will be supplied to garages by the proctors, and licensed garages are to be held responsible for

The question of women students at Oxford came under official review this week, when Congrégation promulgated a series of seven statutes providing inter alia for the limitation of membership of the Society of Oxford Home Students to 220 for the present. This means that if these statutes pass Convocation they cannot be altered without new legislation. Chapel attendance by Rutgers University seniors has been made optional for the first time in the history of the college. The President, Dr. John M. Thomas, explains that although he favors
President, Dr. John M. Thomas, explains that although he favors compulsory chapel, the large enrollment of the university makes compulsory attendance inadvisable. “No institution of the college is older than that of compulsory chapel,” he says. “I regard it important that regulations be given to require attendance.” Dr. Alexander C. Humphreys, for nearly seventy-five years President of the Stevens Institute of Technology at Hoboken, New Jersey, offered his resignation at a meeting of the Board of Trustees. Dr. Humphreys acceded to the request of the board that he should continue in office until the completion of his twenty-fifth year, on
in office until the completion of his twenty-fifth year, on June 5, 1927. In his letter of resignation, Dr. Humphreys said that he has contemplated resigning for some time, and that as he has passed his seventy-fifth year he feels that the time is opportune for him to do so. Reports reaching the United States Navy Department indicate that enrollment in naval units established at six universities at the beginning of the present college year has met with such enthusiasm as to assure the success of the project. On Mardi 4, 1925, Congress made provision for establishing a limited number
4, 1925, Congress made provision for establishing a limited number of naval units in universities to teach naval science and tactics. Units have been installed at Yale, Harvard, Northwestern University, Georgia Institute of Technology, University of California, and University of Washington. In each of these universities the enrollment has been limited to sixty freshmen this year. This quota has been filled in each instance and officers in charge of one unit have been compelled to reject eighty additional applications. Stanford University, California, intends to eliminate the first and second year of college work, and eventually become a graduate university. Entrance

Entrance requirements, which now include high school or preparatory school graduation, will be raised to require first and second-year college work. The change will be made because Stanford is finding greater demand for its higher educational facilities. With limited room and restricted enrollment, it will have to devote its attention to the higher fields of education. In Paris and the Provinces; Cabinet Decrees to Go to Chambers Parliamentary Approval to be Asked For Recess Measures.—Budget for 1927 Is Ready. The French Parliament will be called upon to ratify all decrees issued
Parliament will be called upon to ratify all decrees issued by the Government during the recess of the Chambers. M. Poincaré is preparing to ask Parliamentary approval for all measures, administrative and judicial reforms as well as economy projects. The Premier is said to be ready to pin the question of confidence to each. M. Poincaré appeared before the Budget Commission of the Chamber yesterday to present the draft of the Budget for 1927. The estimate places the revenue at 39,959,000,000 fr. and the expenditure at 39,260,000,000 fr., with a surplus of 699,000,000 fr. The estimates were approved. It is
surplus of 699,000,000 fr. The estimates were approved. It is intimated today that the 1922 Treasury Bonds, not due until 1927, will be reimbursed this year as the Treasury has sufficient resources. The Sub-Committee on Debts has decided to pass on to the Finance Commission without drawing a conclusion the report of M. Darlac, which is an objective study of the Mellon-Bérenger and Caillaux-Churchill agreements. Two interesting letters on the subject of inter-Allied debts are made public today. One is from M. Vincent Auriol, the Socialist Deputy, to United States Senator William E. Borah, sent on September 5, but never
Senator William E. Borah, sent on September 5, but never answered. The letter proposes a general cancellation of all debts, and a reduction of reparations payments from Germany to 30,000,000 gold marks, just sufficient to complete reconstruction of the devastated regions. The other is the reply of Colonel Picot, delegate of the French Government to the American Legion Convention in Philadelphia, answering the critics who say that he betrayed his trust when he returned favoring ratification of the Washington Agreement. Whatever may be the popular sentiment among former Service men, says Colonel Picot, he favors ratification personally. Mistinguett in Court.
says Colonel Picot, he favors ratification personally. Mistinguett in Court. Just the slightest touch of stage fright brought momentary timidity to Mlle. Mistinguett yesterday when she left the stage of the Moulin Rouge to appear against two servants before the examining magistrate at Versailles. “This is a great première for me,” she declared. “Whether as complainant, witness or defendant, I have never appeared in a case before. I am more excited than the first time I appeared upon the stage.” She answered questions quite calmly when the hearing began. She had accused her gardener and his wife, her cook, of

She said that she was willing to forgive the man, but not his wife. “He is a poor man whom his wife dominates and terrorizes” she said. “But I have no pity for her, and would like their home searched for further evidence.” The case was adjourned. Body Dragged by Auto. Villagers at Puget-sur-Arneus, near Fréjus (Var) were astounded yesterday to see the body of an old man being dragged beneath an automobile driven by a woman. At their shouts, she stopped, and said she

Testimony at the inquiry indicated that the man, M. Louis Bertolinoie, seventy-seven years old, was struck four kilometers from the place where the automobile was stopped. A BRIDE IN LONDON Mrs. Turner Lady Mayoress Married in London (Paris Times Spécial) LONDON, Saturday.—For the first time in fifty years, the Mansion House, the residence of the Lord Mayor of London, was the scene of the wedding reception of a Lady Mayoress
the scene of the wedding reception of a Lady Mayoress of London, when Miss Ethel Pryke, youngest daughter of the Lord Mayor and the late Lady Pryke, was married this afternoon to Mr. Cyril Turner, a London lawyer. Great interest attached to the wedding also because it was solemnized in St. Paul’s Cathedral, where no one has been married for many years, and because the bride drove to and from the ceremony in the historical Lord Mayor’s coach, attended by the Lord Mayor’s coachman and footmen, with the Lord Mayor himself seated beside her. After the ceremony the bride and
himself seated beside her. After the ceremony the bride and her husband passed through a guard of honor of the City of London Special Reserve. A special licence and the permission of the Dean and Chapter were necessary before the marriage could be solemnized in St. Paul’s. The wedding of the Lady Mayoress, who has occupied that position since the death of her mother, was a brilliant social event, with more than four hundred guests in attendance. The ceremony was performed at half past two o’clock by Dean Inge, assisted by Canon S. A. Alexander, the Rev. W. C. Piercey,
by Canon S. A. Alexander, the Rev. W. C. Piercey, the Lord Mayor’s chaplain, and the Rev. Goodwin Virchenough, Rector of Wanstead, where the bridegroom lives. The bridal procession was one of beauty, with the bride dressed in ivory velvet, with a train of chiffon edged with velvet and embroidered in pearls and diamonds to match the gown and attended by four bridesmaids, dressed alike in peach velvet. Their frocks were also embroidered in pearls, silver, and diamonds, and they wore large picture hats of peach and mushroom velvet. The bride’s coronet was of orange blossom, myrtle and heather, with
