FACTS GIV1
PAULS, Oet. 20. (Ry Hall). 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.
