THE FRENCH PEOPLE.
WHAT MANY AMERICANS DO NOT
KNOW ABOUT THEM.

KNOW ABOUT THEM.
Ignorance Of Visitors and Foreign Colo
mics and Its Cause.-The Middle Glasses
False Pictures by Dumas, Daudet and
Other Dramatists and Novelists.
The great majority Of American people
who may have been residents Of Paris for
years know little more about French society
and its ways Of living than il they had re-
manned in their own native cities. They form
sets with their own people in foreign coun-
tries with more tenacity than they do in their
own. They generally all live in the same
quarter and board in the same hotels and
pensions They take lessons in the French
language, to be sure, but they never air their
knowledge, except to shopkeepers. Some who
are ambitious to have an insight into French
human nature and manners set themselves to
studying the master and mistress of their
boarding place These are poor specimens.
to say the least, for the last thing French
woman or man will resort to is to keep a pen
sion; the very idea is repulsive to all who can
possibly make living any other way.
HABITS OF RESIDENT AMERICANS
To speak of the Americans who have set
tied in their own apartments and have made
them their permanent homes, they are even
more secluded from French society than the
boarders. At the table d'hote, some may
meet with stray resident Frenchmen who, in
the eyes of their countrymen, represent the
class of outcasts, for to them the idea Of not
having even a corner which you can call
your own is most deplorable one But the
