THE RIGHT TO BEAT A WIFE:
PARIS RULING ABSURD."!
NEW PROFESSION FOR WOMEN.
OFTEN SUCCEED WHERE MEN FAIL.
Baker Street, London, is once more the home of the private Bleuth.
It is not Sherlock Holmes with hie faithful and ever-puzzled Wat son who has returned to solve the problems thai, baffle Scotland Yard, nor has Sexton Blake, with his loping blood-hound, Pedro, stepped out of the pages. of fiction to open up business in this famous high-
way,
But Baker Street has become the headquarters of a score of mere girls, who, under the training and the leadership of an ex-policeman, are putting the fear of the law into the hearts of criminals, from the shoplifter to the bigamist, and are assisting the official police in hund- reds of other ways.
JUDICIAL DECISION RAISES A STORM.
PARIS.
A husband is entitled to beat his wife if her conduct is such as to irritate him beyond control, and the wife cannot in such circum- stances plead cruelty as ground for divorce:
This principle in jurisprudence was laid down by the Paris Divorce Court in a suit in which the wife alleged that her husband had struck her.
The husband's counsel retorted that if the man had struck the woman the latter had well deserved it by her flighty conduct, and the court, incorporated into modern law the ancient code that the hus- band has the right to punish his wife in case of dereliction of duty.
The case has excited keen interest among women, who are up in arma against the divorce judge's finding. Mine. Trenud, one of the first women to be admitted to the Faris Bar, said:
The ruling is absurd, and is not Ratified in law. The three causes for divorce admitted by French law are adultery, grievous insult, and assault and battery.

For many difficult missions it is certain that a woman detective stands a greater chance of success than a man, In cases of shoplift- ing so prevalent at the big London stores, to take only one example, a won detective is less easily recognized and is far more likely to bring the culprit to book.
