The Paris Journal gives a conversation supposed to have been heard at an Hfter noon tea in the drawing room of the mar quise de Gansy on, the decline of French politeness due to the Americanization of gesture and a general affectation of brusqiierle. The marquloe herself led the chorus of denunciation of the bad manners of modern r'rench gentlemen, complaining bitterly that men never dreamed of giving up their seats to ladlea In public convey ances; that they smoked vile cigars next to them at restaurants, and used most oh .tertlnnable language In their hearing with out scruple. Opinions varied much as to 1 the causes, which were asserted In turn t'i , be the demoralising effects of rlays seen Irr theaters, of modern education w hich n k- , lects good manners, and of the rapidly growing tante for sport, leading to mixing with pugilists, trainers. Jockeys and other ( professionals. There Is only too much truth In the com- 1 plaint raised, but It may be doubted If P'rench sorlety Is altogether rlnht In Mam- Ing Americans or sport for the decadence j In the politeness of their men. says the j I-onrlon Express. Those who put It down to 1 norlty of woinanUi'id that is likely to ap pear in a law court. Judges, lawyers and women witnesses would appreciate It If they did. "When a woman under suspicion takea the oath It Is desirable to look her in the eye," said a lawyer, "but how can any body look InM the eye of a woman who has on a stylish hat? The court Is In luck If he can see her mouth and the tip-end of her nose. Also, It offends the dignity of the court for a woman to remove her hat; consequently, the flounder between the horns of a very serious dilemma. An order to tilt her hat back Is also tha pre cursor of difficulties, because the hat Is clamped down with so many ptns that It won't tilt. "Still, the eyea of a woman before the bar of Justice must be looked at, and un der repeated exhortations ahe reluctantly removes the pins and shoves her hat back. Hut that pantomime results in waste of time and loss of temper all around. In order to obviate these evils It seems to me that milliners would better busy them selves designing a tipable hat for court room wear." New York Times.
