are authority for the statement that the
playwright has entirely recovered his mental
balance, and that he will be able in very
short time to be with his family and friends

writing. He claims that The Figaro should
have printed his views entire, and should
have made no alterations in the essay. But
Just how he could have been injured in this
way to the extent Of 10000 francs is hard to
comprehend. His novels, not his views upon
novel writing, affect his reputation.
Not cowhiding, but regular beeching,
