About whatnumbcr Of Richmond people

appeal TO YOU Mr.. Editor, TO know II ]
am correct. HESEY.
Numerous Richmond people understand
the French language. but OF course there
are many who can understand 1t when ele-
eantiy and deliberately spoken who speak
it very poorly themselves.
Scores of those who were in Sarah Bern
hardps audiences were able to follow the
players very satisfactorily.
Richmonders have paid much attention
TO the study of French, and we have been
very fortunate IN having here excellent
teachers. who have not only successfully
impaired instruction to hundreds. but
have cultivated real taste for the study
Of this popular and easily-learned Ian
guage.
We shall not undertake to cay that all
who were delighted with Sarah Bern
hardt" understood what she said but we
know that many did, aud these were aided
by knowledge Of the PLAYS and by her
gestures and speaking countenance."
