True Love Once More Becoming
Fashionable In Paris Society
By MORRIS GILBERT
NEA Service Staff Correspo_ndent.]
PARIS.—True love, due to_the‘
collapse of numberless fortunes‘
and the exceptional clrcumstancea!
of the present times, has become
fashionable—infinitely more fash
ionable than it has been for a hun
dred years at least. %
Such is the verdict of that cele
brated observer and chronicler of
love in Paris, Edouard Bourdet,
author of the sensational comedy,
“Le Sex Faible,” known in New
York as “The Weaker Sex.”
“The weaker sex,” anybody who
has seen the Bourdet drama real
izes, was the male. 'The play re
volved around the hunting instinets
of predatory women, ‘young and
old, American and French, and the
capture of charming but do-noth
ing young men :in the jungles of
one of Paris's most intérnational
ly-famous and luxurious hotels. 1
Now Bournet repents his com
edy. Or rather, he feels that it
“dates.” What was true in the
boom times is true no longer.
But the effects of pre-war and
post-war “prosperity” and title~]
hunting have left their traces.
They more or less cancel out,
Bourdet argues, and the result is
—true love!
Rediscovering Love
“Young people of lroth sexes are
rediscovering a taste. for disinter
ested love,” Bourdet, interviewed,
declared. “They hawve found that,
fundamentally, therefs nothing else
as good. 1
“Since the pearl necklaces and
other rich adorn'ments—even the
phony ' jewels—of~ the rich inter
national set are today mostly sold
or in hock, the heart has once
more become a. commodity ~much
in demand. Indeed, it is ‘le dernier
eri’ in fashion.
“Let me eXpain the tra.nsitioni
of love, among the world’s great
people,” over the. course of a cen
tury,” Bourdet observed. “At first
it was the women who offered
themselves in & the best-equjppedi
marriage markets, and the men
were happy to ruin themselves to
have them.
“That was pre-war—pretiy old
fashioned, even then. :
“Then the roles were reversed.
The influx of the «aughters ot‘
millionaire . Americans; - and the
enormous increase in family wealth
during the last centacry in such‘
places as England, changed all
that. The male became ihe hunted’
one, the object of assidiQus court
ing. |
“So the young male was able to
lay aside the uncomfortahile armor
of the conquering knight, and put
on, instead, the delicate pajamas
of the gigolo.
“That was the gituation arter the
war, and up through the great
boom-times, until the depression
took firm hold. Then agnin the
marriage-game, among the upper
classes, went through a revelution.
“The crisis ddn’t spare . the
bank accounts of the rich Ameri
cans and their daughters and it
has now been discovered that
stocks in the* marriage market
have tumbled so fast that even

the young men Who three years
ago were being bid up at enor
mous premiums, have been reduced
to a most humiliating condition of
unemployment. There are no bid
ders—at any price!
“Money having thus lost its halo,
nothing much remains except truly
disinterested Jpve—and that is now
beng précahed, in the circles of
the formerly rich and still spec
tacular, as a marvelous discov-,
ery.” ‘
Bourdet asserted that a new
wind of romdnticism is blowing
through the corridors of the Ritz,
.Claridge’s, the Crillon and the
other gathering places of eligible
young men and women here. The
cycle is starting all over again,
from ° its fundamentals.’ s
“Young male aristocratg of all
nations,” he continued, “have never
hesitated to let themselves be
captured by their women. So, the
revolution which has lately taken
place is really one in which even
coats-of-arms have become demon
etized, just like so many items in
stock market reports.
Quest of Titles Over
“That being the case, another
element has come in—the rivalry
of young commoners, who play off
their muscular vigor, skill at
games, and actual personality
against the possession of a title,
which Wed to be the principle
bait in*the marriage market.
“In the old days, daughters of
millionaires used to buy some off
spring of an ancient title going
back to the Crusades. Later they
turned to tennis champions and
yvoung, though penniless and title
less, professional dancers. Now,
with the disappearance of so
much wealth, and the breaking
down of the quest for titles, young
people are letting themselves be
attracted to one another, whether
the men are heritors of an ancient
name, or foundlings.”

'League Members

{ o
}Luncheon Meeting Hears
' Discussion of Pending
| Bond Election.
‘ Thg Athens League of Women
| Voters’ monthly luncheon meeting
l(or November was held Tuesday at
the Holman hotel, and’ cne of the
most interesting programs of the
vear was presented, with the pres
ident, Mrs. Paul R. Morrow, pre-"
siding. !
The chief feature of the day’s
program as planned was a talk by
Mayor A, G. Dudley, guest speak
er for the day, presenting the mat
ter of the pending city bond elec
i tion, with the important relating
‘facts. This was done in a clear,
tand direct manner and was follow
ed by discussion raised by ques
tions designed to ygpresent the
many possible views of whatever
leaning.
Mayor Dudley cooperated admir
ably with the League in the mat
ter and answered all questions
iwith evident straight-forward |
earnestness. Briefly, Mayor Dud
’ley's position was, that Athens is
‘able to float a bond issue, that it
will duly serve a real need—cer
‘tain street paving, enlargement/
‘and repair of school buildings, and
improvement of the city water
works, and that no increase inj
taxes need result since the net in-}.
come from the city waterworks is |
sufficient not only to pay interest
on the bhonds but also to retire the
lsinklng fund. l
t In course of- the discussien, Dr.
J. C.. Meadows, dean of the Pea-|
'bod‘y' College of Kducation, spoke |
briefly of the matter of the posi- |
}tion of Athens in regard to its ac
‘tual and potential relations with
‘the Peabody Laboratory school. |
* During the business meeting
‘which followed the discussions
several matters relating to sub-
Jjects of ecurrent interest in the
League were dealt with.
Mrs, Willilam J. Russell, legis
lative ehairman, stated that the
charter.of Athens still retains the
old e¢lapse, that voters are not eli
gible unless they have paid all
their taxes, including poll tax,
while under the recent amendment
to the state constitution, any reg
istered voter, upon payment of
poll tax, is eligible to vote in any
election. In ‘view of the conflict of
opinions, locally, the League asked
State Attorney General Yeomans’
opinion in the matter. He kindly
responfied with a letter in which
he gave it as his individual opin
ion, that any registered voter can,
upon meeting the poll tax require
ments, vote in any election.
.The League was asked to have a
committee appointed to request the
Democratic Executive Committee |
to give the voters a real secret
ballat by omitting the number from
the ballot and leaving it on the
stub only, with the name, as a rec
ord.
The League voted to ha¥e no
election of local officers in Janu
ary but to have the present ad
ministration continue to serve un
til June. Then to elect officers for‘
two years beginning in June. |
It was decided by action of the
League to have several study
group teas in connection with the
study meetings in the afternoons
and not have a lunchéon meeting
every month, but perhaps every
two months.
The meeting was well attended
by the League membership, their
individial gueéts, and other inter
ested citizens, in response to the
general invitation extended by the
League.

“Why that’s the building I live

“Yes, I know,” replied the voice
at the other end of the line. “This
