The oRAMATlsT's LIFE IN HIS PLAYS

Many Literati Think That Moliere Pic
tured His own Married Life.
TIC look for illusions to his own af-
fairs in the plays of Moiere is a foible
with his commentators. In his come
dies they find a kind of cypher history
of his domestic life, as they discover, in
Horace and Shakespeare, political hints
Of which Horace and Shakespeare never
dreamed Il is not unnatural that they
should regard 'L'Ecole des Maris"
June, 1861 as a kind of matrimonial
programme. written by Moliere for the
information of Armande Bejart Every
one knew that he had made up his
mind, perhaps with as much difficulty
as Psnurge, to risk himself In matri-
mony. In the Easter preceding the
performance of 'L'Ecole dies Maris,"
he had asked his company to allot him
two shares in the theater, one for him
self and 'for his wife, if he mar
red"
He did marry Armande Bejart on
Shrove Tuesday, 1862. But to suppose
that he meant the girl to expect that he
would act like Ariste, in "L'Ecole des
Maris," is to consider too cuiously.
The play is based partly on the "Adel
phi" of Terence, partly on an incident
in an Italian story. There are two
brothers, Sganarelle, who is middle
aged. and a kind of vulgar Alceste-a
slovenly curnudgeon; and Ariste,
twenty years older than Sganareile,
who is all good humored sagacity, and
full ofsympathy with the young. Isa-
belle is the ward Of Sganarelle, LeonoI
Of Ariste.
Both men intend TO marry their
wards, but SganareIle is all for a policy
of secluding and l~ecturing the girl;
