NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, DOINGS IN FOREIGN CAPITALS PARIS=—= France Is Becoming a Nation of Gum Chewing People, Thanks to War, Parls, Sept. 25. P — The gum chewing American Doughboy so inculcated the habit in the growing generation from St. Nazaire to the Rhine that an American company is build- ing & new factory to meet the European de- mand for the flavored chicle. It took some time for the tobacco shops to sell out the chewing gum stocks left by the American Army in France but the taste was so success- fully fostered by the populace that now every cigar store of consequence in Paris has,a sup- ply of American made gum in airtight can- tainers on their counters.

The exhibits consist of uncooked beans in bags of 100 and 200 pounds, while count- less “stoves” prepare the finished article to satiate the palates of the visitors.

The appearance of the headdress duly labeled in milliners’ windows has given the American swimr ' feat in crossing the channel the ultimate consecration which wo- men can bestow. Miss Ederle, althc h she swam the Chan nel in the usual bathing attire with cap and goggles, has left traces in French fashion more elegant that her red rubbed head protector. It is a close fitting brimless hat— toque variety—executed in luminons sea-g 1 velvet across which the light glimmers like the sun- shine over the chanmel on a bright day. The hat is finished smartly in front with a pin some four inches long representing Neptune's trident. The little hat looks particularly well against furs and comes as a cheerful novelty at a moment when the milliners are busy thinking of the dark days of winter ahead SHOW ARTIFICIAL SUNBURN A uniform ¢ ing of dull, dark red paint, attempting to imitate sunburn is now heing applied to chorus girls at Nice and velvety white has disappeared temporarily from the stages of the Riviera theaters, No reform wave was intended hy rectors when they chorus girls niust pa er of the reddish pa over the fact that a various tints of brown the di- issued the order that all bodies with a lay-" re concerned chorus, sunburned to mingled with the milk white of the non-hathers spoiled color scheme A white e paint was at first attempted but even ien the difference be- tween the complexions of the heach favorites and the water shirkers was quite noticeable and the charms of the delic colored cos- tumes—w®hat there is of them was ruined.

Now he has accepted the red paint idea. the LONDON Prince of Wales' Golf Is Improving but It can Stand Even More Im- provement. M London, Sept. 25.—The Prince of Wales® golf is improving—but it could still be much better. Daniels, who caddies far the heir- apparent to the British throne, when he plays over the famous St. Georges links at Sand- wich, is authority for the statement. Daniels says Wales gets along nicely with the wood frequently making magnificent shots with them. But his short game is somewhat “scratchy.” The Duke of York is considered by the caddy a steadier player and more like- Iy to turn a better medal round at the honor- able and ancient game than his elder broth- er. Wales i3 qualified for membership in the gréat fraternity of average golfers. He is satigfied when he breaks 100 over a full course. He has been known, however, to finish 18 holes in the early 90's and to have been very proud of his work. The chief dif- fleulty of the prince is in making his mashie behave when about 100 yards of the cup Danlels says only practice will remedy this weakness but that the prince is a very human young man and would play a round with & friend than devote the little time he has for golf to dull practice. WILL SAVE PEPY'S HOME. The old home in Brampton, Huntingdon- shire, of Samuel Pepy's, the famous diarist, is to ba taken over by the Samuel Pepy's club and saved from ruin. Lord Sandwich, the owner, has offered to lsase the place for five pounds a year, on con- dition that it will be maintained in good re- pair. There is nothing of the grand Englist country house about the Brampton establish- ment, but Pepy looked forward to peaceful re- tirement there. It was in the garden of this house that Pepys buried his money when England feared the coming of the Dutch. When the danger was past Pe; retrieved it all but twenty or thirty gold picces and rejoiced greatly. LITTLE SPOT OF BEAUTY. There is a little beauty spot up in Aber- deenshire in Scotland much visited by tour- ists where scats are provided for comfortable contemplation of the scenery and picnicking is freely indulged in ¥ As in many American parks ordinary warn- ing apparently were not effective enough to induce tourists to clean up after their im- promptu meals. So some literary light in the local official world hethough himeelf to try out what an appeal in Yhe form of a limerick would do, and the following noticeg now have been posted: PR “Oh! you who come here at a sitter, We pray you to clear up your litter,— Your paper and scraps And chocolate wraps— Lest feelings against you be bitter.” JOHN WESLEYS CHAPEL. One of the little advertised American pil- grimages in London is to John Wesley's chapel in City Road. The tourist automobiles miss the little chapel of the famous Methodist divine, but hundreds of foreigners, particular- ly Americans, seek it out in the Labryinth of twisting streets of Old London. Recently the chapel was renovated and now Is open daily for prayer and meditation A Wesleyan museum has been founded in a neighboring house where Wesley lived, and where he died on March 2, 1791, in his eighty- eighth year, POPULARITY OF TE )lfi.. The popularity of tennis in London and its environs is a boom for the children of Lon- don’s thickly populated East\End.

These still have enough re- silency to make them good playthings for the children of the poorer quarters whose parents have no pennies to spare for the purchase of toys. BERLIN Berlin, 25.—{—"Charleston Forbid- den” is a sign greeting terpsichorean devotees cntering a majority of public dance halls in Berlin, especially those off the outskirts. While the Dancing Masters' association recently an- nounced that the Charleston had at last come into its own, dance hall proprietors rebelled because cnly a few Berliners could dance it correctly. The remainder, they said, kicked up their heels so awkwardly that other dancers' clothes were ruined, shins were scraped and ankles sprained. Fist fights were frequent. So the propristors hung out the well-known sign “Verboten™ and chased the Charleston to the confines of hotel ballrooms and cabarets Sept VERY LATEST IN DRAMA The dramatic critics are wondering what Schiller would have done had he attended the production of his “The Robbers” at the State theater this week and seen the robbers march out upon the stage tooting saxophones and wearing dilapidated cutaway coats and stove- in top hats. Stage manager Irwin Piscator has gone Hamlet in evening dress and plus fours one better by converting the robbers and thair fol- lowers into a modern revolutionary proletarian made up chiefly of students and intel- als and having the hi character of Stiegelberg impe te Leon Trotsky, at whose death a flutist plays the “Internation- als.” The mod ion stirred up a bitter pre rniz of Schiller's work has ss controversy, GERMAN HUMORISTS WORKING The success of various Channel swir cting the Pesibility of German humo: g that Kemmerich, a German, was knocked out by a dog fish in mid-channel, one writer s sts that the hig fish should be muzzled.

BOB HAIR RUNS THIRD A “Bubikopf”, or bobbed-hair beauty has had to be content with third place in a pul- chritude contest, At Fssen, the chief in- dustrial center of the Ruhr, long haired dam- sels shunted the closely cropped entrant to the rear. Forty aspirants for the beauty crown passed in review before 2,000 men and wo- men. Then committee on award sat to de- cide upon a winner. Their deliberations lasted | from 7 o'clock in the evening to 11 o'clock at night, and finally the girls with long tresses were declared victors over the bobbed beauty.
