In fact. It 19 seldom Unit ft French clrl sees her sweetheart alono and Unchnpcroncd before the time of marriage. ' Monsieur and ma dame arc anxious that their daughter's life shall be one of conjugal felicity. This little matter they feel they can best attend to themselves. And so they look about until they find a young man whom they consider "con vcnablo" from every point of view. The money end of the marriage Is of much Importance, and this Is carefully Investi gated. The moral character of the youth Is also taken Into consideration but hero the French tend to be somewhat Indul gent. "It Is only natural that ho should sow his wild oats!" they any. nodding their heads sagely and with a degree of leniency which Is surprising to a stranger. The "dot" of the French girl must equal, or nlmost equal, that of her lius-band-to-bo. Hut Into such matters tho parents on both sides fully enter, and the young people have very little to say In the case! The French believe that love Blioulil be well regulated and should come after marriage on closer acquaint ance! It does seem a risky way of set ting about things, does It not? If a woman shall gain tho whole world and lack a husband, her life Is manquee, according to the French Interpretation. In other words, no matter how celebrated she bo or how wonderful a personality the may have, unless she Is entitled to bo called "madame," she is n. complete failure, both as a woman and ns a social factor. "But what If a woman marries ono who suits her not at all?" asked an American the other day at a little afternoon recep tion here In Paris where women were In the great mojorlty. Her French was a little awkward, but she made herself understood. "Is the life of such a woman not completely spoiled, united with one for whom she has no nffectlon, and noth ONE-PIECE TAFFETAS GOWNS v STILL IN VOGUE FOR FALL FALL will bring no ci tn the nonularlty of tl ono-pieco costume, accord-I "V$ Ing to late dispatches from Paris. This isn't necessarily a Parisian discovery, by any means, because our foremost American designers had already made the same decision at the recent st Ic congress. Itcdlngute styles, taffetas frocks for Indoors and afternoon occasions and taftetas-t r I m m o d serges promise to bo as much In voguo this au tumn as they over were before Most women will be glad to hear this, be cause if they happen to have a smart gown which was purchased earllor In tho spring it can probably be remodeled with llttlo trouble to suit the fall modes. If not, the fash ions are still In thj em bryo stage, and pretty costumes mas be bought at reasonable tlgures. Navy blue pussy willow silk is the chosen fabric, and tho little frock bhowu In today's illustration shows some of tho beat possibilities for a. prac tical and becoming after noon rig. The blouse is simple In the extreme, with a pretty white Georgette crepe col- lar. culls and vestce to supply n note of relief. The dropped shou'der lincj are outlined by a slight touch of hand em broidery, nnd tho wide girdle is laced together by a novel arrangement of velvet ribbon. The skirt has a rather wide yoke of tho silk, alBo embroidered, with two dainty cords to attach It to tho rest of tho skirt. The Hare Is evident it the bottom of the skirt, being held out to a certain extent by tho stiffness of the material, and a smart cuff of bias taffetas, also attached by a corded trimming. Tho hatter's plush chapeau is trimmed with an upstnndlng feather in palest pink, a mode which promises to be most fash ionable during early fall months. About Styles The tailored picture hat is In vogue. Corsets are growing somewhat shorter. The fall promises an abundance of pockets. Your hat may bo made of striped material. Parasols, like purses, are a uerles of flounces. Even linen suits are lined with chintz silk. The black satin hat Is having a great vogue. The belted suit is going to be a fall favorite. There Is a slight curv ing In at the waistline. Kewpee Takes a Ride IITTLE Kewpee Celluloid lived on the J broad shelf, of a city store, and he wan quite content with hla home. In" deed, he hardly remembered any other home, for wtutn he wa made at the fno tory he was wrapped up so quickly ant nuggled down tight in 'a box that he hart hardly a glimpse of the world ue Im4 com to live In. And when he went en the train and later In an auto truefc to the store which wat now hla home he couldn't see a single thing who could when they were packed up close In a boxr He saw boy and Slri. old men and young men, aud women of all ages and size; and they all smiled gayly when they saw him. "They must like roe." Mid Kewe Celluloid to himself content . edty. "and I'm vary sure I lika them." And be was always particular to smile back his say little celluloid smile. One day after a clerk had taken Kew pee Celluloid dewu from the shelf to tihuw aim tu a cuatoouir. he put him back U(.. tiruukd-wie. Aud instead iC tookiux don at the panning people as he had i tjjj'ieii doiut Kwpee was compelled to lw at lou rtw and rows a:id rows vi kciie MM like himself ' i.1: at ai this isn't i'Jlli to be fun . UT' t'rted Kewi-rs Jliuloid w dis um -ptops wtu ats ttnami l w ADAIR ing In common to render life plcaslng7" "Better a life spoiled than rt life missed!" was the unanimous verdict of tho French women present. "A husband who suits not too well, as one may say, that Is what to bon DImi sends most women. It Is the folly pure to expect that every woman she shall obtain a husband per fect; ns well think to obtain the jsros lot; for that one must await tho Para disc! Hut the woman who lias her child, she has not missed her life." Thli view Is somewhat crude to Um average English and American mind but, after all, the world contains many women who Inunrdly cherish tho an mo sentiments. When ono looks around and sees the lll-nssorted couples who yet seem to be Jogging along In comparative harmonv, ono learns that many women hold the opinion that "half a loaf Is bet tor than no bread." f-'ome Frenchwomen maintain the thc orv that womankind Is divided Into two classcv. the Mothers and tho Vnmplresl "All tho women desire love," declared a Frenchwoman, "but tho mother-woman, alio desires It that sho may have tho right to bestow It abundantly In return, while the vampire woman possesses noth ing to give, anil there remains In her only the passion to devour yet another one1" It strikes mo that In these modern days n good many men seem to prefer the vampire type and this is scarcely to bo wondered at. For to the vnmplre, love Is merely a game, on enthralling, delight ful game, but still merely a game, and to be treated as such. To tho "mother" tjpe of woman, however, love Is a mat ter all-nlx-orblng, and she, therefore, too often plays desper ately, Innrtlstloal 1 y nnd with nil her cards on tho table. Tliero is no charm, no "alluio" to the masculine mind In what can bo easily obtained, nnd this Is precisely where tho "mother" type too often loses and tho "vampire" wins I One .i i , his take place nil over tho world and as long as men arc men nnd women an- women, tho woman of charm whether she be of tho "mother" typo, or the "vamplro" will bo sought out nnd greatly belocd. " ' A CHARMING TAFFETAS FROCK before!" but that stupid clerk didn't un derstand a word that Kewpee said! So Kewpee had to look at the other kew. pees and look and look till he was so tired oh, dear but he was tired I Just when he thought he couldn't stand it one minute more, he heard a bis, cheerful man's voice say, "I want the very best kewpee you have, for I want to have him ride with me!" "Oh, If only I could smile at hlml" cried poor little Kewpee Celluloid des perately. "I know he would like me, and I know I would like a ride.

Ho la Simon Gratst, vlco president of tho board, nnd Its oldest member In point of experience. Mr. Oral declared today that ho was enthusiastically In favor of the election of Or. I.ucy Langdon Williams Wilson as principal of tho South Phila delphia Nigh School for Girls. Mrs. Wilson has also been mentioned in connection with tho vacant superln tendency of schools, but several mem bers of the school bonrd nro opposed to appointing her to cither of tho higher olllces because she Is a mother. She Is now principal of tho William Pcnn Ko nlng High School for Girls nnd head of the department of biology of tho Phila delphia Normal School. Several months ago Mrs. Wilson was nomlnnted for tho prlnclpalshlp of tho South Philadelphia school and opposed for that olllce by Dr. William F. Gray, head of the manual trninlng depart ment of tho Central High School. Doc tor Gray nnd Mrs. Wilson received an equal number of votes, and tho deadlock hns not been removed. Another election will soon bo held. Mr. Grntz announced that he would light for the selection of Mrs. Wilson, regardless of any objections that may bo made against her. "There is a rulo of tho Hoard of Educa tion governing tho employment of mar ried women." ho said today. "If that rulo Interferes with Mrs. Wilson's ap pointment I shull gladly vote for a Bus pension of the rules," he declared. "IJo you approve of mothers as tench cts?" he was asked. "That has nothing to do with tho case," ho replied. "Tho only consideration Is cfllclcticy. I believe that Mrs. Wilson Is amply qualified for the prlnclpalshlp. nnd if my wishes aro enrried out neither sex nor nny other consideration shall be Involved." Mr. Grutz's views aro especially signi ficant because of tho Inlluenco ho exer cises In the Hoard of Education and he cause ho was one of tho faction that op posed Miss Kntherlno U. Puncheon sev eral months ago In tho light which flnnlly lcad to her appointment as head of tho Girls' High School. It Is believed that Mr. Gratz has had a "change of heart" and that tho modern movement for tho equalization of sexes has made him a ro cent convert to equal rights for wom en. WANT LAW TO PROTECT THE AMERICAN FLAG FROM DESECRATION Business Men, Aroused by Use of Emblem on Belligerent European Ships, Will Ask Congress to Act J. H. MOORE FAVORS PLAN Business men and shippers of this city, nrouncd by the continued misuse of tho Amcilcan flag by belligerent European nations, will urgo Congress to pass n law at tho next session in December which will deny tho use of American ports to foreign vessels which continue this practice. According to Jasper YcateB Brlnton. ex-Assistant United States District At torney, who has olllces In tho Commer cial Trust Building, there is no interna tional law or statute of tho United States under which tho offenders can be pun lshcu. Germany's protest, therefore, In which sho alleged tho misuse of tho American Hag on seven occasions by British ves sels, cannot bo diplomatically considered by tho United Stntes. Recently several bills were Introduced in Congress looking to the protection of tho American ilag on both land and scu, but in every instance they failed of passage. Congressman J. Hampton Moore, who Introduced ono of the bills, said that he would bo willing to co-opcrnto with other members of Congress in tho enact ment of a law that would prevent tho desecration of tho ting. "I And on Inquiry that there Is no law of the United States which In any way protects the American ilag on the high seas," said Mr. Moore, "as against tho improper and deceptive use of it by a foreign or belligerent nation or by a pirate. "In times gone by it was customary for merchantmen desiring to savo their live3 in time of war to ralso the flag of a for eign nation or of some other nation than tho United Stntes, but that was In the days of the old wooden ships, when the conditions were vastly different from what they are now. "There is no law to prevent this dese cration now, and I believe it Would be wise and would certainly bo honorable. It would certainly not condone to tho pcr fldtty that men sometimes resort to In the misuse of the Ilag on the high seas if we had a law In the United States which wruld provide that If any foreign vessel used the United Stntes ports nnd adopted the ruse of stealing the American Ilag nnd thus sailing under false colors to de. eclve anybody, it should not have the further use of our ports." In outlining tho law, Mr. Brlnton said: "It Is clear that vessels, using the Ilag of the United States as a ruse to escape capture by tho German torpedo fleet, violated no rulo of International law. Tho Incidents, however, will serve a use ful purpose If they direct public atten tion to a situation In which all neutrals aro deeply interested, but one which has been completely neglected In Interna tional conferences and conventions. There are no clearly established rules regulat ing the display by merchantment of Hogs of another nation. "In a general sense, however, the right of a State to take action for the protec tion of Ha flag and to prescribe tho con ditions of its use Is well recognized, al though In the absence of affirmative aetton by statute or treaty no ground for diplomatic complaint exists. The matter l " wnkh, In the first In stance, must be dealt with by the mu nicipal law of a State or by a treaty. "Calvo and Oppenhelm, two of the leading European authorities on Inter national law, both express the general principle that men-of-war of any nation may capture and bring to port for pun ishment any foreign vessel sailing under the flag of that State or nation without authority, but the International law is silent as to the enforcement or defini tion of this general right. "So far as affirmative action Is con cerned, the record of the United states is ont of complete silence. Congress has never even taken aclioti to protect the national Ask upon land.

EDWINNA GINDEB, of W13 Pulaski avenue, says that organiza tion is good for growing girls und that every girl should belong to a club of some sort. Miss Ginder Is tho organizer of the Daf fodil Troop No. 1, of the Girl Scouts, me Star Garden Playground, 7th and Lorn baid btreets. From her varied experience with girls of all uges, she Is considered well qualified to speak on tho subject In talking of the organization of the troop. Miss Ginder said: "Three years ago a group of 15 girls wished to form a club, so we decided on the 'Jolly Girls' Club. which existed for one year as a social organization, and then the members, anxious to help others as well as themselves, looked about for means of improving their club and mak ing It more valuable. Th.ey decided to be come Girl Scouts and, forthwith, our troop was formed. Our numbers have in creased rapidly, considering the dlfllcult tests required, In the two years of our existence and promise to grow even more rapidly In the future.

NIGHT PARADE TO WIN VOTES FOR SUFFRAGE ON EVE OF ELECTION "Festival of Light" Will Be Staged as Huge, Brilliant Ap peal to Voters to Favor Amendment PLAN BEAUTIFUL FLOATS Philadelphia Is to have another BUffrago parade a parado which, If predictions como true, will far outshlno that held hero last May. Plans nro being completed by suffrage organizations for a big suffrage pageant to bo helil on October 22, nlmost on tho evo of election day the red-letter day of tho Pennsylvania suffrago calendar, and the day which will decldo temporarily tho fate of cqunl suffrage In this State. The parado will bo held at night, an other Innovation In suffrngo tactics. More than 2000 organizations, largo and small, have been asked to participate, nnd many thousand suffragists and suffrage sympathizers arc expected to be In line. Tho parnde and pageant will bo called tho "Suffrage Festival of Light." Many fC4itures nro promised, and as tho parade will bo held at night hundreds of work ers aro expected to be able to Join tho ranks. Tho largo number of marchers and an nrtlstlo ami varied display of light ing effects glvo promise that tho October parado will excel that held In this city last May. Tho parndo will start at 7 p. m. from Brond and Mifflin streets. Tho line of match will bo up Broad street to City Hall nnd mound City Ilnll, down uroau street to the Academy of Music, whero a monster rnlly will bo held. Tho list of speakers hns not been com pleted. It Is stated, however, that thero will bo several speakers of national repu tation. With a final victory In November In sight, those In charge of tho coming pa rado think tho date of October 22 an Ideal ono. It Is forbidden by law to hold pa rades In Philadelphia during tho 10 days preceding election tiny, and according to lnw, tho suffrage parado could not bo held Inter than Saturday, October 23. Friday, October 22, has been chosen by the committee In charge, as It gives tho chance of a day's postponement In case of rain. While rain would not havo deterred tho nrdent sulTrnglsts last May, It was agreed that rain might mar tho lighting effects nnd displays of tho next parndo. Prominent Philadelphia suffragists havo forsaken their summer homes and an swered what they term tho "call to duty" to devote their time and energy to com pleting arrangements for tho pageant. Tho committee in charge includes Miss Mary Wlnsor, chairman; Mrs. William Albert Wood, vice chairman; Miss Ella Blcgel, treasurer; Miss Anna II. Snyder, secretary; Mrs. Gcorgo A. Plcrsol, Dr. Koto W. Baldwin, Mrs. Wilfred Lewis, Mrs. Wilmcr Atkinson, Dr. B. M. Hel-stand-Moore, Mrs. E. Q. A. Kills and Miss Lucy Lewis. "Tho scout movement Is ono of Incal culable benefit to our young people for girls as well as boys for If tho scout principles, tho formation of character and tho learning of citizenship nro necessary for boys, how much more Important Is It that theso principles should bo instilled Into tho minds of our girls who are destined to bo tho mothers and guides of tho future generations. An attractive and practical form of active educational pas time is needed, nnd for this purpose tho Girl Scouts aro organized. "Tho Girl Scouts nnd tho Boy Scouts are formed with similar purposes. The former is modeled after tho latter, tho boys' ritual being modified to meet tho requirements of girls and to suit tho con ditions of American life. "Tho aim of the Girl Scouts Is to teach girls to be helpful, happy nnd prosperous women, capable of making good homes nnd bringing up good children. These principles nro taught them through pur suits that appeal to them, such as games, athletics and crafts At the same time they aro Inspired with ambition and a spirit of good - natured competition. I Through outdoor exercise, such ns ath- letlos, hikes and camp life, they nro taught to conscrvo their health and care for their bodies. "Thero aro three classes of scouts third class or 'tenderfoot,' second class nnd first class. Before becoming a 'ten derfoot' a girl must pass certain tests prescribed by tho troop. After serving ono month as a 'tenderfoot' sho may try the tests for second class, and, when sho has passed these, sho may try for 'proficiency badges,' which aro also awarded through tests. Somo of theso badges nro for excellence In ambulance work, health, horsemanship, swimming, music, serving, cooking, dairy work, child's nurso and attendance. After serving timo as a second clnhs scout a girl may try for the first-class grade. To enter this grado Is a high honor, as the tests aro extremely dlfllcult. "Each troop has its own colors. The Daffodils have black and gold and our crest Is a 'daffodil' Our uniform la khaki und tho troop makes a lino shotting. '"Tho scout law Is based on honor, duty, loyalty, kindness, comradeship, purity, cheerfulness, friendliness nnd thrift The Girl Scout promises, 'to do my duty to God and my country, to help others at all times and to obey the Scout law.' When a scout says a thing Is so 'On my Scout honor.' I never question her veracity and I have never been fooled.

Tho loud whirring of tho machinery mid tho nolso of firing soon woko mo up, however. For the Zeppelins were qulto close to my hotel nnd nlmost overhead. Jly hotel was In tho Champs Klysces, near IArc do Trl ompho, nnd tho latter seemed to bo tho goal of tho Zeppelins. It was nbout mldnlgnt when I heard tho terrible whirring. I rushed to tho win dow nnd gnr.ed out Into a clear, splen did night. Two wounded soldiers In tho private hospital across tho courtyard wcro hanging out of their wlndoWB, and they called cheerfully across: "Look up, look up nnd you will sco tho Zcppclltisl Tho Germans havo como!"

A baby In tho next room woko up nnd howled dli-mallv. Its nurso was appar ently too alarmed to sootho it, for Its howls continued.

A sudden retreat was In progress! Tho firing grew fainter, then died nway alto getherand the Zeppelin raid was over. Tho dnm.-igc done had not been great, although the Inhabitants got a scare. The thrill of witnessing an affair of this sort Is well worth the risk for only onco In c, lifetime do we have the chance of being under Zeppelin Are!
