THE FRENCH GIRLS srAUNCH ADVOCATE.
N. Camille see has carried in its chief clauses,
his bill through the Chamber of Deputies. This
Legislator is n son-in-aw Of DR.. Germain See and
an Israelite. of the good sort. lie is one oi those
Hebrews who do not turn their backs upon the
nrnciples OF the French Revolution, to which they
owe IN this country, and IN many other States OF
Europe freedom and the right to enjoy openly
and wheresocver they please the fruits OF their in
dustry. NJ Camille see is one OF the most amabie
men in private life that know, and is very orna-
mental figure In the drawing-rooms he trequents.
! lie is handsome, but Of a Greek type Ok manly
| beauty, chatty. very intelligent and thoroughly
| obliging. One always meets him at the sources
of NJ Jules Simon, at which he assists in doing the
bonor.. lie is the father Of two very pretty little
girls. one Of whom is ten years old, and gifted with
! a poets mind and an artists temperament. Madame
| Camille see is a gentle, soft hammered woman With
whom converse is very agreeable. She - femme re-
posgute. Her gentloncss and thorough self-mastery
arc soothng 90 irritated nerves. and her voice Is
music To the ear when she speaks. Under her quiet
exterior there is intensity Of feeling ana Of VIII
which subjugates those VINO approach her With
ont making the least effort she dominates the circles
! in which she moves. Sir Walter Scott had a
Madame Camille see in bis minds eye when he
drew the moral portrait of Rebecca. the true
heroine Of " Iyanhoe."
! NJ Camille See, the girls friend and advocate IN
| the Chamber of Deputies, might II he liked be a
ladv-killer and ladies' man. But he prefers 70
be the champion of the unemancipated sex, and to
uiye TO future generations of young girls the
IL
far. in this country, monopolized by boys.
! I'm the Chamber he fought hard the other day, to
| obtain a grant for the endowment of colleges In
which female students could live while studying
for graduating houors. THIS part of his bill was

s Ia ask whether il would not be better to set the
! Crown Jewels up at auction and apply the money
they would fetch to the education of the future
wives and mothers OF French citizens. These

odorn herself with them. In any case. they are an
! incentive TO evil to reasonable ambition: and a
nobler use could not be made OF them than TO create
| with them fund for assuring TO the girlhood Of
| France the advantages of a sound education.
While say this, do not believe. 10 anything like
the same extent as NJ. Camille see, in book-knowl-
edge or lectures, in university examinations as
test capacity. His measure Is an excel
