And an overdose of Amer- ican efficiency is one of the thing thinks Madama Suzanne Grinberg, French feminist As one of France's en lawyers Madame Grinberg lieves in efficient women. But fears that American efficiency with} its brevity and direct method is shifting, via the women in business,| into the home and undermining long famed French courtesy. “Women no longer exact the litile niceties from men,” she said. “French children are less carefully coached in courtesy. In fact, ‘a politesse’ has becoma a joke with the younger gen- eration,” PARIS, Feb. for leading wom-: be-| she French Manners “Each nation must be itself” is her conclusion. “When we ape Americans we make bad Americans and worse French citizen; Madame Grinberg will soon lecture in the United States on “The In- fluence of America on French Man- ners.” Other subjects will be women and peace and the French fight for women's suffrage. Suzanne Grinberg, who was the ninth woman to practice law in the courts of Paris, is the mother of a 14 year old son. She hopes to send him to the United States for a few year's study but sghe does not wish her boy to bec6éme Americanized. “I only want him to add goed American qualities to his qualities,” she said. « ¢ |school student French|ireland, |1s defendant A L R B ‘GONGRESSMEN USE FISTS IN Harding and Hill Confirmed By Senate SHINGTON, ha irmed (he Hill the Third Judicial Alaska, and also the Judson W.
