Car for Three Months
Paris, Nov. 28.—An exceeding
ly ingenious and irjirepid little
Paris flapper is not in police toils
today because of sheer flapper
audacity.
_____
Noting that a wealthy French
business man, with offices on
the Boulevard Haussmann, left his
automobile at the curb precise
ly at 2 o’clock each afternoon
and re-entered it to drive home
precisely at 6, the flapper simply
appropriated the voiture during
off hours.
Driving about * the congested
streets of Paris on her errands
and visits she succeeded, during
the last three months, in repark
ing the borrowed vehicle at the
exact spot a few moments before
the owner appeared.
’ Downfall.
The flapper’s downfall is due to
the increasing congestion of the
central thoroughfares of the city.
Police regulation, as in New
York, holds the general flow of
traffic until the cross stream has
thinned.
Paris traffic has become so
( dense at the
opera, for example,
that ....... it often requires , from
five
to ten minutes to cross.

OFFICIAL BAN ON
Sfys He and the Madame Will
Not Attend for Charity
or Otherwise.
Washington, Nov. 28.—President
Coolidge ga\s a shock to Wash
ington society yesterday when he
announced that he not only frown
ed upon an inaugural ball on
March 4, but that he and Mrs.
Coolidge would not attend any
ball on that date, for charity or
otherwise.
' For more than two weeks society
leaders have been advertising that
they would organize a charity ball
for March 4 as a substitute for
the inaugural ball which President
Wilson outlawed and which Presi
dent Harding failed to revive.
Turns Down Charity Function.
But they seem to have reckoned
badly so far as the president and
Mrs. Coolidge are concerned. Mr.
and Mrs. Coolidge were announced
as headliners of the affair. But
the White House let it be known
there is no basis for the announce
ment that the president would at
tend.
Mr.. Coolidge is not opposed to a
modest inaugural parade, if the
local committees wish to stage
one. He is willing to participate
in it, and to review it, provided
too much of a show is not made
of the matter, but he will not have
a part in a ball, no matter under
What auspices it may be pro
moted.
Senator Curtis, of Kansas, chair
wgjr^bf the senate committee on
rules, has just confer^ with Mr.
Coolidge regarding inaugural ar
rangements, and has informed the
president that there probably will
be no opposition to a reasonable
appropriation for a ceremonious
inauguration, if the latter desires
it.
