S DECEMBER 5 MONDAY THE CHARLOTTE NEW PARIS AGITATED OVER ARM TO OFFER WOMEN Paris, Dec. 5. Whether a man should offer his right or left arm to a woman is .agitating Parisians. A de cision by Andre de Fouquieres, the ac cepted arbiter of social customs, has not settled the question. He said, "always the right arm, in doors," a custom surviving from the days when all gentlemen carried swords and wanted to be quick on the draw. Outdoors, he said, no man ever offers his arm to a woman "except in cases of danger," which the newspa pers hold is the normal condition in Paris streets. Therefore, regardless of good form. ! those debating the matter generally ! agree that a man should take hold of a woman's right arm wnn nis ieiL hand, instead of offering his right arm, because the women consulted c, tu-i- intended continuing to carry ; their purse, parasol, packages, etc., in j ti-ioi left hand. And the men insist ed a cane belonged in the right hand. SIX PERSONS DROWNED. Toledo, Onto, Dec. 5. Mr. and Mrs. Joseph A. Rokuslci and their five-year-old daughter, and Mr. and Mrs. Ber nard K.

Distributer 'THIS IS A STUDEBAKER YEAR Phones 218-219 Another bad break has been made bv a local citizen. It happened Saturdaj- night shortly after dark when a wellH dressed gentleman stopped on the corner of Church and Trade streets to speak to a party of friends and acci dentally dropped a puart of bocze crt the sidewalk. Such sights are few and far between, i Seldom does a crowd get a better luuh j than that derived from watching the j chagrined countenance of one who has j parted with the enemy lie loved. The j laugh Saturday night was exceptionally j loud and prolonged. j It happened in front of a fruit stand near the corner and drew such a crowd j that the fruit vender sold $4.65 worth : of bananas in the space of a few inin-1 utes. In fact, it looked liqe a put up job. But one way or the other, the own er of the booze didn't tarry to take stock of the results. It was his demeanor before and after that proved the big hit of the evening. With his hands in his pockets he was strolling down the street humming "Santa Claus is Coming" when he sud denly saw, the party of friends pre viously mentioned. Politeness is often one's downfall, and the same rule can apply to booze. No sooner had the light hearted song bird reached forth to shake the hand of his nearest friend than a auart of corn liouor sliDned from under his coat and did the Boston ! Dip on the cement. Then he forgot j wnetner santa jiaus was comm.? or going. Nor did he remember ether friends in the party. He gave one spec tacular sidestep which saved him from a moonshine deluge and another side- Step which put about two . blocks be tween him and his friends. In "he twink ling of an eye he was nix, as the ma gicians say. Expressions on the face of those who gazed upon the spot where the hootch hit would have been a valuable asset to any moving picture studio. To the passersby it looked the the funeral of the mayor of Kalamazoo, or some such exalted ruler. Not until an officer had ! arrived on the scene to pick up the broken fragments of the bottle did the crowd disperse. . The party of friends were still stand ing with blank faces for a long time 1 aner an traces vl the accident had been swept away. FIRST COURT IN BUNCOMBE COUNTY Asheville, Dec. 5.
