“In France, our homes and our

loaded revolver close at hand. Our
windows have iron shutters, w’hile
our doors have patent locks and
chains.
“But what is more surprising than
anything is the abandonment during
hours and hours of bicycles, motor
cycles and automobiles.
‘‘This is very interesting and very

actions of this sort.”
The lack of taste displayed by some
of our women called forth the follow
ing remarks:
‘‘Really, I am sometimes amazed at
the w’ant of tact exhibited by some
American women.
“At the opening of the Los An
geles opera, the public came in crowds
to hear for the first time the delight
ful and great artist, Mary Garden.
“The women had arrayed them
selves in their most beautiful gowns
and literally covered themselves with
jewels. So far there^ was no harm,
for all society women all over the
world, whether European. American or
savage, love to appear In public with
the best they have in gowns, jewels
and feathers.
“One of the ladies, when getting
cut of her carriage, pulled up her
dress very high to allow admiration
to expend Itself—not on her leg, but
her stockings, upon which diamonds
and pearls were embroidered.

doubtful taste and vulgar. But it was
still worse than that. The lady stopr
ped, gathered her dress up carefully
and held It with two fingers and re
mained so, posing before the photog
raphers in profile, then full face and
always with the toe advanced and
the limb uncovered.
“I cast my eyes around to find her
husband. I do not know if it was
he who quietly stood behind her until
the operation was finished, but I said
to myself. France, in Paris, that
woman would have been hooted and
Jeered by the crowd witnessing the
scene, and next day her husband
would have had two or three duels on
his hands for permitting it.
“Now, although Paris women are
considered in America to have little
prudery and to be barefaced, I de
clare that no society woman would
ever have done such a thing as this.
“But perhaps this woman was not a
society lady, but only a millionair

way resembles the petty thefts of
some other countries.
“I have a great admiration for this
American honesty.

Her Ideas on the Moving Picture.
“I am asked if I think moving pic
tures prejudice the interests of the
theater and if it is mv opinion that
they will be still more popular?
. “My very sincere opinion is that
moving pictures are a rather ordi
nary and cheap demonstration of pic
torial art associated with the dra
matic art. The pictures are like in
different stories illustrated by bad
pictures. The show is amusing for
five minutes, but in no w r ay does it
take the place of art.
“I think moving pictures will be
very prosperous, but. they will ever
remain second class.”

Asked her views on the latest
dances, the Tango and the Turkey
Trot, she said:
"These dances are abominable, re
volting and improper. I can not un
derstand how any one could permit
such insanities to take place in their
drawing rooms, yet not only do they
permit them, but young girls of re
spectable families assemble together
to learn those dances.
“The mothers are at fault. They
should never permit such exhiDttions.
And why do they do it? They keep
a young girl away from immoral sur
roundings. choose her books, hide
from her newspapers reporting ques
tionable divorces or passionate
crimes.
"They keep a watch on her friend
ships, they do everything in the world
to keep her mind from being sullied,
yet they let her, not only see. but
actually take part in, a spectacle
which is. more than any other,
stripped bare of all modesty and de
cency.
“I have heard particular people se
verely condemn the waltz when I was
a girl. What would they say to-day?”
What Rockefeller, Jr., Might Do.
Of Rockefeller she said:
“Monsieur Rockefeller, Jr., thinks
that even if one does try to protect
poor girls there are many who would
still become of questionable character
through idleness.
"I do not agree with Monsieur
Rockefeller, Jr. I really think that
unhappiness and poverty drive many
wretched girls to vice. But I am
persuaded that, if means to earn a
livelihood were procured for poor
girls, all of them would joyfully ac
cept work.
"And yet. one can not complain in
