■Woman’s Suffrage Movement in France Suffers From Attitude of / Dandies and Mashers. _ Paris. —Gallantry may prove fatal to the woman suffrage movement in France. The first suffrage parade took place here, but ended in failure owing to the attentions addressed to the women by a crowd of dandies and mashers, both old and young. Breaking through the lines, the men Overwhelmed the women marchers with their attentions, smirking and bowing and raising their hats. Finally the leaders appealed to the police, and the streets were cleared of the mashers. Then there was no one else left to view the parade, and the women were escorted to their hall, where they made speeches to one another.
