As tho women of Paris recently have hceii beatliiK thn men in eonipntl tions for iilaepB as llhrarians a dis russion has arisen iver womeirs attitude tovards hooks. Writers in general sei'tn lo apree that woman is the avowed enemy of books. This view which will seem strantte to 'Americans is ac cepted hy the. French as a fact not i necessary to discuss. They seekj only to show why, and how greatly woman is hostile to hooks. One of the principal publishers is quoted as saying that In the retail trade women constitute only one per cent of buyers in France. Oth ers dilate upon the difficulty their men friends have In keeping a li brary of fine books and in adding to the collection. Men's love of hooks, and women's dislike of them, are cited as having caused the break-up of many homes. M. do liersaucourt, author and hooklover. holds, it to be tho duty of a biblio phile lo remain a bachelor. He cites the cases of men who have to buy books secretly to avoid out breaks of wrath from their spouses, and others who keep hooks hidden. One Parisian booklovei1, says M. do flersaucourt, smuKKlos home purchases tinder his coat or in his pocket, meanwhile, disarming his wife by holding out cake or candy to her at the front door, in order lo gain time to slip the volume on to tho shelf unnoticed. tBy Aesoclatefl Preaiij MEl.nOUIiNi:, Australia, net. il.
