NIGHT LIFE IN PARIS.

CHANGED SINCE THE WAR.

HOW LES GIRLS ARE LOOKED AFTER.

¦

Montmartre and the Quartier Latin have changed since the war. Night life in Paris is crowded with new excitements. The wine is worse, the dancing craze pervades Famous old rendezvous are now deserted, but modern ones in increasing number crop up like mushrooms. The multiplication of "dancings" has changed the habits of both natives and visitors.

Sir John Simon, interviewed by the Manchester Guardian on his return from South America, ex- pressed satisfaction with the out- come of the protest against slavery in Sierra Leone Protectorate so far- as he had been able to learn the details of the new ordinance, and, said his own keen interest and nction in the matter largely, arose from the enthusiasm of Lady Simon as a member of the Committee of the Anti-Slavery and Aborigines Protection Society.

"There is a widespread fecking that the whole crusade against grossing volume, "Days and Nights Branch) meeting Cathedral Hall, 6 In association with the GRAND HOTEL Prince's Fuliding.

slavery is complete,

and that nothing worth doing remains to be done," said Sir John. That is a very serious error. I hope we are in a fair way now to remove what remains of slavery, however mild its form, from British Protec borites. It has not, of course, ex- isted in any British colony since 1833, but & Protectorate, strictly speaking, is not British evil, though in Africa the line between colony and protectorate is extremely thin. Yet, however mild any form of alavery may be, it cannot be divorced from incidents which British opinion, once it is aware of them, will never tolerate. More
