FRENCH TASTE The late lecturer, Ralph
Waldo Emerson has the following remarks on the
pleasurable and business habits Of the French
1.-The contributions of the French to the useful
arts and the comforts Of life, are highly credit
able. Their taste, equipage, Furniture all are
very fine and elegant In designs, fashions.
dress, etc, all nations copy after Paris There
is law OF gradation in fashion, and the skllfu
milliner can determine what peculiar moaifca-
ton the next style will bring out, by the last
Ii we strike discord, We must prepare the ear
for the true note by few intermediate notes.
So in fashion One style must be only slight
step in advance of its predecessor A Paris
milliner could make the Bloomer costume popu-
lar, at last, If she would only approach it by
degrees, despite the satire of Punch French
patterns are the models for the world, and all
others are collated from them. The French
taste, IN most instances, is too correct for our
people, and our designers are more engaged in
corrupting them, so as to adjust them to our.
taste, than il searching out new designs In q
word, the French excel in dress, dancing, cook
cry and in police, The latter has no equal any,
where. 1t is most admirable and excellent in
all its parts ta 5a'z '=
&C In a word, the French are nation wise in
their pleasures and most foolish in their busi
ness. The opera is the soul of Paris, and Paris
IS France. In Paris, what cannot be said can
pe sung, anu Wnat caunOI De sung can be danced.
Give France good Government for twenty.
four hours, and no matter what it may be after
wards. In that short space, everything bub-
bles up, and then gives place to novelty. In
two days the most important affair is forgotten,
and the great tide sweeps on unmindful Of the
past. Madame de stael says that Paris must
have something new every three months, to-
captivate the nation.
France is the empire Of bagatelle Its idea
is amusement. It's pleasures are all refined,
and are made the most Of Mirabeau remarked
with his last words: sOh light-headea, thrice
light headed nationp As an illustration Of
their giddiness, when the allied armies captured
Paris, the citizens forgot in few hours their
defeat, in the splendor of the show The women
are graceful and beautiful, but the control of
a French Cupid is never longer than a few days
at most. The hero is he who invites the spectre
that haunts him, to drink wine with him.
French life wants veracity still. underlying
all this leyity, there is much of good in the
French character. Nature has scattered gene |
rous and beautiful souls among them--Fenelon
Paschal, and noble and beautiful |
women, who have made France the centre of |
letters. The sense they give to love is a bar to
their civilization. They should cultivate sterner
and laughter virtues While the English march |
forward steadily and with severe brows 10 free
