GTRL FARMER. PARIS, Dec. 21 The romantic career of a French girl student of 2(1, .Mile. .Madeleine Gouw, who after studying at the Sorhonne for a literary career and having passed all her examinations changed he'r mind and has now become a highly successful scientific farmer, has been disclosed as a result of legal proceedings pending between her and the landlords. In 1919 she obtained the lease of a 900-acre farm near Chantilly, the property of the Institute of France. The annual rental, Co2o, is devoted to the maintenance of the famous Chateau of Chantilly. The farm had been used during the war as a miliary camp and aerodrome and needed a great deal of effort and money to restore it to its original fertile condition. Mile. Gouze, who took an active personal part in the farm work and was always clad in a skirt, obtained a loan from the Ministry of Agriculture and another from her own family. With this she restocked the farm with pedigree cattle and English sheep and pigs, and the most up-to-date machinery was e verywh ere insta lied. She lias now been informed by the Institute of France that her lease, which expires in two years, will not be renewed, as a Belgian farmer offers three times the amount of the rent. Mile. Gouze protests that this is a breach of her original agreement, and claims a large sum as compensation for the improvements she has effected.
