‘Our Heiresses Are Conspicuous in the Throngs in the Avenue du Bois and the Spring Season in the French Capital Is in Full Swing—Three New Youthful Musical Prodigies Are Society’s Latest Pets. Special Cable to the Post-Dispatch and New York World Copyright, 1912, by Press Pub, Co. (New York World.» PARIS, April 27.—Warm weather the past week led to the definite beginning of the Paris season,/ which is now in full swing. The belles of the American colony, adorned by the leading dress- makers in the latest creations are to be seen every morning strolling in the fashionable Avenue du Bois de Bologne, where the young Prince of Wales, who came here to study the French language and people, walks every day. Several large social affairs in the American colony marked the opening of the season. One of the most important was the reception held at the home of the American Consul-General and Mrs. Frank Mason, Mrs. May Wright Sewall, formerly president of the International Council of Women, held an in- formal reception at which Mlle.

a TURKISHWOMEN ARE EDGING WAY TO FREEDOM Thinner Veils to Show Faces and Dresses That Hint at Form Are Worn Defiantly,

Special Cable to the Post-Dispatch and New York World. CONSTANTINOPLE, April 27.—Now it is the Turkish women who are seeking freedom. There is a touch of humor about the women of England and America demanding freedom, but in this country the condition of their sisters is far dif- ferent and it can be readily understood that cus- toms of other centuries have grown intolerable, The advent of the new regime in Turkey gave the women more liberty than ever before and having had a taste of freedom they are demand- ing the full limit. The first signs of a feminine revolt were in the change of veils. These became thinner and thinner until the Moslems were shocked to find their women wearing veils which made merely a pretext of hiding their features. The cape of other days, long and sufficiently ample to totally conceal the form, began to shrink until it was so small the outlines of the form were exposed. Then the skirts were changed in cut until they bore a strong resemblance to the hobble kind, which was the blow that almost killed the Moslems and re- sulted in an official edict. This warns the women of a hopeless hereafter if they dress in a way enabling unbelievers to see their faces and the outlines of their forms and also forbids loitering in front of shop windows, particularly European shops. Entering a shop and pretending a desire to purchase when the ob- Ject is really to enjoy the admiration of Huropean clerks, is also strongly condemned and the women are reminded that such conduct will surely lead to punishment in the next world. Meanwhile the women of Turkey have an “I- don’t-care” air and their thinly veiled features bear a smile of triumph.

Special Cable to the Post-Dispatch and New York World. PEKIN, April 27.—Manufacturers of the world are discovering to their great joy that changing China from an empire to a republic means the opening of a great new market for clothing of the American and European type. When leaders of the new movement cut off their queues, the donning of other styles of cloth- ing followed at once. With the typical queue shorn, the standard dress of the Chinese looked grotesque. Soft hats and caps were bought and the next change was at the other end, The cloth shoes, boat shaped at the toe and -snade to wear on either foot, were discarded for the leather shoes worn by the Occidentals. Then the flowing blouse and expansive trousers were discarded and now the leaders look quite the same as any other men in their garments. In China, as elsewhere, it is conceded that one might as well be out of the world as out of the fashion so, with the prominent men of the coun- try wearing strange garb, other men in the 400,- 000,000 population have a wild desire to be attired in the new way. This means that makers of clothes, hats and shoes will find a tremendous market in China at once, that will continue until the imitative Chinese learn to make these articles themselves in an up- to-date) way. The typical cloth shoe of China costs 25 cents and is a flimsy creation requiring continuous patching. The few leather shoes worn are nearly all made in Japan. They sell from $1 to $1.50 and have nething to recommend them but their cheap- ness. Wo American would wear them except as an alternative of this style or nothing. There are fortunes awaiting the American mak- ers of shoes who are early in the field with com- plete lines.

For Americans here they have a special interest because Jeanne Livon is the god-daughter of Mrs. F'rank H. Mason. The Masons were friends of the Livon family in Marseilles where Jeanne was bern. Capt. Mason was then the American Consul there, and Mrs. Mason gladly consented to act as god-mother to the little girl. She was sent very early to the conservatory at Marseilles and imme- diately showed that she was a prodigy, finishing the course with flattering honors at an age when most girls are thinking of their dolls. The next daughter also showed that she had great talent and her taste was directed to the violin. She too is a graduate of the Marseilles Conservatory, as js Robert, the 'cellist. Miss Fanny Reed gave a musicale this week at her home, her guests being entertained by Alice Verlet of the Paris Opera House and Mr. Haynes, The three’ a tenor.

The new Paris home of the McCall . whose building cost $100,000, which amount was raised in New York, will be dedicated June 80, when the mother organization will be represented by a special American delegation, Although Ambassador Herrick only officially en- ters upon his functions Monday, when he will pre- scent his letter of credence to President Faliieres, he assumed his duty of representing America when this week he attended a great service in the Made- lin, conducted by the French Red Cross in mem- ory of French soldiers and sailors who gave their lives Yor their country. “JIM” CROW CARS DEMAND _ | OF SOUTH AFRICAN WHITES | Special Cable to the Post-Dispatch and New York Werld PRETORIA, April 27.—Trouble betwen native iP blacks and the white residents has developed inte | something of a race war and the rail hews | been asked to provide separate coaches tae natives to avold outbreaks.

The black man had no desire to intrude, but the guard placed him with the white man, who promptly kicked him out. “POVERTY” PARADE REALLY CARRIED $3,000,000 GOLD Special Cable to the Post-Diapatch and New Yors Weorld. PARIS, April 27.—Six handecarts, each pushed by a shabby-looking man, trailed over the Pont Neuf with a squad of policemen in attendance. - On the first cart was some. shabby furniture. On the other five were heavy loads of something covered with sacking. There was much sympathy. for the cartmen who were taken to be unfortu- nate fellows who had failed to pay rent and had been evicted by the police. The sympathy turned to laughter when the procession passed through the gates of the French mint and it was learned that five of the carts car- ried $3,000,000 of gold bullion for the coinage of 10 and 20 franc pieces, The first cart was loaded with old furniture as a blind in case there should be bandits along the route—a precaution wisely taken in Paris in these days of terrorism.
