The officials of the Grasse courts are still erplexed over their prospective work, which vill start next month, “I think if I were to meet a man crying on he street corner, I would say at once that he as a foreign lawyer who had just met a happily married couple,” is the verdict of one pf the court employes, who is concerned with livorces “And as far as I can see,” he added, “the buly time an American or a British subject floesn’t want his or her name in the papers is jvhen a family divorce is in progress.

Nationale, LONDON== London is in for Vogue of Pink if Women's Dress Arbiters Have Their Way. = London, Oct. 2.—{/—London,is in for a vogue of pink if modistes and women's dress arbiters have their way. Bond street has developed the pink wave and is showing in its exclusive stores the dainticst of garments, from outdoor costumes to “undies,” all in shades of pink. An exclusive establishment has just & huge bow of pink ribbon in one windorw. Dress and hat stores all along Regent atreet and most of Oxford street have the pink fever, indicating that receptions and dances this winter will be particularly bright affairs. . SHAKESPEARE AT DOCKLAND After 300 years Shakespeare has at last ar- rived in London's dockland, Sir Frank Benson, the veteran actor who has toured the United States and Canada with a Shakespearian repetorty has introduced the Bard of Avon to an audience at the Canning Town branch of the Dockland settlement. A star company presented “The Merchant of Venice” and many people who live not far om the site of the 1d zabethan Globe eater heard of Shakespeare for the first time in their lives. There are many movie houses in Canning Totwn, but no theaters. STEPNEY STEP IS LATEST The “Stepney Step”—as full of action as any step can be—is a new dance from London's ast End which is making a strong bid for popularity as an alternative to the Charleston, It is described as something between a tango and a Charleston, but can be danced equally well to fast one-step, tango, or fox trot music. Dancing masters say the Stepney Step will be all the rage this winter. BECKETT NOW A BOOKIE Joe Beckett, former champion heavyweight prizefighter of Great Britain, has adopted the profession of racetrack hookmaker. With a bookie's sachel swinging from his neck, a sign telling the world of his new call- and a roaring voice bawling odds on horses, Joe is a familiar figure at the race Deckett was to have met Phil Scott, the present British champion, at the Dell in Southampton early this summer, but he in- jured himself shadow boxing and another gladiator was substituted. There seems little doubt that Beckett ix through with the square circle game for good. He has not issued a challenge to Gene Tunney. The consensus here is that when a fighter so far forgets his professional duties as to fail to issue challenges on the eve of or just after big matches, he must be ranked among the definitely retired. WATCH OUT FOR CROOKS The growth in traffic from London's alr- port at Croydon to the continent has necessi- tated increased activity by Scotland Yard in order to catch international crooks. Each pas- senger who boards or leaves a plane at Croy- don is now scrutinized by detectives from the famous British police headquarters. Scotland Yard is very proud of its record in nabbing law breakers at the numerous sea- Ports of the south of England. A crime is com- mitted in London, and the criminal us dashes for the south coast, which five miles away. An hour puts him in France and is only channel fety—per- But they rarely get away. The moment a murder {s committed, a rich jewel haul is made or a big robbery reported in any part of Britain, Scotland Yard clamps down its vigil on the coast—and, like the Northwest Mounted Police in Canada, Scotland Yard us- ually gets its man. : The watch at the Croydon air port, as a naw thread in the net to nab international crooks, already has proved its worth. Jewel robbers, drug smugglers, and no end of conti- dence men have been taken into custody as they have stepped in or out of one of the big passenger planes that fly between England and the continent. BERLIN President Von Hindenburg Today Celebrating His Seventy-Ninth Birthday. Berlin, Oct. 2—(P— President von Hinden- burg today is celebrating his 79th birthday. The field marshal has a record of not having missed a single day from attending to the duties of his office, which is better than any of his cabinet ministers can claim. During his summer vacation last year and the present year the President daily attended to his correspondence and received reports from governmental departments. Despite his age he scorns the idea of a physiclan being in attendance upon him. He believes regular liv- ing is the best recipe for health. Well wishers, as well as critics, who feared | the executives duties, especially those of a so- | clal nature, would prove too onerous for the | aged field marshal now admit they were mis- | taken, WELL STOCKED WI E SHOP n you imagine this in the United States,” said Joseph Lau, wine merchant, as he looked about his shop the day upon which he had advertised he was going to dispense 10,000 | bottles of 400 kinds of choice Rhine, Mosells and Palatinate wine by the glass free of | ge, merely to induce people to drink more | nan wines. The shop was entirely devold of persons desiring to slake their thirst. Two American correspondents alone came to take advantage of the offer which Berliners gener- ally thought a hoax. Lau then issued 10,000 personal invitations and on succeeding days there were crowds to do justice to the various vintages. SCANDALOUS ADVERTISING American ingenuity, combined with German roughness, has carried out a movie ad- tising stunt described by one newspaper as scandalous.” For a “first night” of the film “Ben Hur,” the combination motion picture trust lured by invitation a silk hat and evening gown audi- ence consisting of six cabinet ministers, head- ed by Chancellor Wilhelm Marx; two ambassa- dors, including Jacob Gould Schurman; ministers of forcign countries; six Pru cabinet ministers; five bank presidents, cluding Hjalmar Schacht, president of the Reichsbank; thirty-six theatrical producers and stars and the Lord Mayor Gustav Boess. Fifty police held back the throng that bat- tled in vain to buy tickets. “The Americans make grand opera out of an ordinary movie,” said one editorial write in- FOUNTAIX SPOUT SUNDAYS Almost coincidentally with return of the former Crown Prince and Princess to their Potsdam castle, Cecilienhof, the fountains in the nearby gardens of Sa Soucl were set | playing as they did during the days of the monarchy. All the fountains spout on Sun- days. The great gusher in front of Sans Souct terrace operates also on Tuesdays and Thurs- days, THEATRICAL CUSTOM RESTORED The custom of having Shakespears greet Goeths once a year, and Goethe reciprocating | in kind, has been resumed for the first time since the war. Since 1564 Germans have sent a wreath of leaves picked from trees in the garden of the | Goethe ho in Frankfort to Stratford-on- | Avon on the occasion of Shakespeare's birth- | day anniversary April 21. British have return- | ed th complimenton Aug. 25 with a wreath of | leaves picked in the gardens of the Shake- speare house. The practice was resumed by the trustees and guardians of Shakespeare's | house on Goethe's birthday and will be con- | tinued next April by the trustees of the Goethe house. NEW NAME FOR TUBERCOLOSIS munists have given tuberculosis anoth er name. They call it “proletarian disease” in their party press.
